| beginner here hi i posted this in the wrong section an got 2 replies one said get her fixed and the othe was a suggestion to post here so i copied and pasted -------------------------------------------------------------------------- hi i have a yorkie girl and have done a load of research over the last few years. but not enough yet i am thinking of breeding her but not till later in the year. i was wondering where i could go to get helpful advice....... i know about most of the medical side and how to deal with most emergencies and how to look after the mum before during and after. i tried going to the local vet to get info...their reply was if you don't know you should not be doing it then was told to get her spayed. (i dont want to that and i keep her indoors during her season) i am trying to find out all the things i need in a puppy kit and what the best type of whelping box is. i dont want go go into this blind so any help would be good. i looked at loads of youtube vids and have read every book i can find and non of them show the puppy kit (without advertising products) if i cant find all the info i wont do it as she is my best friend and dont want to put her in danger...i will be asking for help from the owner of the boy dog too |

| Hi & Welcome to YT. I don't think you should be breeding your baby as she's not registered & most likely her parents were never checked out for soundness. This means that you could unknowingly pass on some pretty devastating traits to the pups, such as AAI, Chiari, Liver Shunt & LP. Just Love your baby & forget about breeding her as that would be best for her as well. |

| It's not just about testing your pup, you need to know the health & genetics of her parents & grandparents & so on.... You can also do research on the things I mentioned & will most likely be shocked at what you find but these are the things our babies can be afflicted with & just because your pup appears to be healthy on the outside does not mean that she will not pass any of these horrible things to her pups. If you intend to be a breeder then you need to do lots of research & save your money to purchase some champion healthy, free of genetic disorders & deformities parents. I know that you would never want to pass on anything as horrible as the things I mentioned to pups & other owners as they are heartbreaking & Very expensive for the owners & painful & life threatening to the pups. This is most likely why your vet suggested for you to spay your pup. Breeding should def be left to the pros.There are plenty of badly bred pups in this world who need homes already & I'm sure that you would not want to add to that population. |

| I thought you had a "diplomas in animal care and know the science behind genetics and will be checking her top to toe." You apparently do not know what you are doing. Leave the breeding to the professionals, Breeding your dog is not easy, You can't just ask for advise, and research it- It is something that takes YEARS of experience, Years of research.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | We have many great breeders here, but they don't breed their pets. They study breeding and find a mentor way before they ever start breeding. You can learn a lot by going to dog shows, and you might be able to meet someone who's willing to mentor you. Some people will say they will mentor you in order to sell you a breeding dog, and they have no business breeding either, but if it's really in your blood, there is a correct way to do it. If you want to breed your pet, just to earn money, I urge you not to do it. Just because you "think" her parents were healthy, it doesn't mean they were. It costs a lot to begin a real breeding program, and too many greeders are ruining the Yorkshire Terrier breed and causing so much heartache for pet owners. If you know she isn’t breed standard why would you want to breed her, there is more to being a Yorkie than just being a “purebred.”

| You are right you have to start somewhere, but to start somewhere you have to have the right Yorkie. Do you honestly think you have the right Yorkie standard to breed... You don't even know if she is a Yorkie or a Maltese.. This was one of your threads... "tilly (16 weeks) a yorkie or a morkie there were 2 entire males in the house when i went to look at her 1 yorkie and i maltese. the mother was light tan and pale blue the male yorkie black and tan howcan you tell if you have a black and tan morkie?"

i learned loads since then lol.....including as it turned out the maltese was neutered....i felt a little silly after that...which is why i did not post for a while afterwards i promise i will be doing loads of research before i decide....and alot of saving up. if at the end of the reading and questions asked i am not 100% sure i will not do it. and will use the money to go on a pet friendly holiday the groomer i go to has loads of connections in the industry and has offered to help. one bit of advice i got and knew was bad was from a local "breeder" who said i should have let her have pups on the second season. i smiled and said oh well good luck. on a lighter note (i hope)...if all goes well all checks passed.... is it hard keeping track of yorkie puppies that have found their feet ? i know i will have to hide all chewable items (like toes etc). | |
