| I'd say probably... This a different one from the 2 yr old in 09 I'd assume? At least you should be a little prepared this time round, but she'll need to be watched closely by the vet what with her age and this being her 1st time...

| Five years old is when most are retired from breeding. She is too old to be bred for the first time for her health and well being.

Yorkie Talker | 5 year old female Thanks for all of the responses, also I am breeding her because it's my choice, I'm not a puppymill I have 2 female yorkies, one of them is spayed after her first litter of 2 of which were given to a friend and a family member. Which will be the case in this upcoming litter. And why would someone hope it's an accident? It shouldn't matter what I want to do with my dogs. I dont go around dictating to ppl if they should or should not breed there pets. |

I say this because of my concern for your girl's safety. It's your responsibility to make sure she's taken care of and having a first litter at her age is very dangerous - especially in untrained hands like yours. Her pelvis has stiffened with age which makes a c-section and other severe complications much more likely. You are taking a serious risk with your girl's life and health. Please think hard about that. Best wishes for your little girl in all of this. Bonny

I never saw anyone accuse you of being a puppy mill, I only saw concern for your little female

Another one asking for advice then gets mad when people give it. You are on a form that has some of the best Yorkie breeders and you only hear what you want. Your dog could die or if you are lucky will only cost you alot of money. People on this site care about Yorkies and their well being and only are trying to help. Listen & Learn

| Unfortunately, it's like the old saying about closing the barn door after...etc.. This is just one of those cases that are causing several to leave the forum. What good does it do to offer advice to some...They won't listen..they will do whatever with THEIR dog. Too bad the poor little Yorkies don't have a say!

If you are a breeder of any purebred dog, (and you are, given you have had one litter and orchestrated another breeding), then it behooves you to learn and educate yourself about the basic principles of breeding. If you had you would have realized even one "incomplete" tie could result in your female being pregnant. It is NOT recommended for almost any breed of dog, to breed a five yr old female for their first time at this age. Complication risk is much higher due to a number of factors; inelasticity of the pelvic foramen, age of the ova = increased risk of faulty or flawed ova; increased risk of "c" section and it's resultant risk of complications of health to the dam, lack of milk, lack of interest in the mom to nurse, etc, etc. You speak of nothing around the breed specific tests you have done on your breeding pair. Are you willing to financially care for these potential pups over their lifetime? Should LS, LP, Leggs Perthe, and the many other health concerns of Yorkies rear their ugly head? So personally I care for the well-being of not only your female, but her pups have the best chance for a healthy and happy life.
