The Breeder Talk Section! Why It Is Here

[cain]

I'm somewhat confused after post #2.I'm not a breeder and have no plans to be,can I stiil ask questions under Breeder Talk,I find all of it fascinating with all the different expierences.

I have a 2 year old "standard" Yorkie named Bella Donna Blue. She is CKC (?) papered and I have a copy of her pedigree. My question is this: My vet says that it would be wrong for me to breed her since she has one knee that sometimes "pops" out of place. It can be put right back into place and doesn't appear to cause her any pain. Bella weighs in at 6-7lbs. Should I breed her? If it is safe, where should I look to find a breeder?

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Thank-you very much! God Bless You All!!

Posting your question on a new thread in this forum would promote more answers to your question.

But, a quick answer to your question.....Did your vet evaluate the grade of LP? If it's greater that grade 1, I would suggest it shouldn't be done. Especially with a male that suffers from the same problem...you'd be asking for a great deal of trouble.

Apparently it is time to review again!

Not everyone starts out as a genius in breeding, perhaps if we could all remember that people have to start somewhere that might help. The negativity in this section is ridiculous.

If I were a new member and thinking about breeding I would be SICK with the replies I would get for asking a question. If you don't agree with someone asking a question b/c they are new do not respond. This is supposed to be a place to learn but who dares ask a new question with these kind of responses?

I hadn't thought of Breeding but, My hubby is looking into possibly breeding. the one we may purchase. Please if anyone can steer me in the right direction of knowledge.. I would appreciate it.. I would hate to purchase one and find out that it was a father and daughter issue that could cause defects.. I was told that this is to make sure that the breed is pure.. sounds a little strange to me. But, like i said, i am new in this area..
Thanks

I would like to know about this also.......any experienced breeder out there?
Mardelin? YorkieRose? any other with good input ?

THANKYOU !!!!
VERY WISE WORDS.....which I wish some would listen to, as I for one, spend all my time trying to undo all the damaging and blatently cruel remarks and judgements made on this section, and it is getting tedious, I must say.
Also I am fed up of people who seem lovely Yorkie people being scared off this forum, when I for one, would love to hear their experiences, whether I agree with them or not - they are all of interest to me, and we can all learn from the different ways of doing things !
The type of things that have been going on here lately is the sort of thing that starts wars in this world ! We should all try our best to be kind

Thank you wholeheartedly for this thread!

Hello, AuntBee!

We've noticed that you've not been active on the YorkieTalk community for quite some time now, and we miss you!

Could we not tempt you back?

I quit coming to Yorkie Talk simply *because* of some of the rude & attacking responses to new members. Some of us are new to Yorkies but not new to breeding. Some may be new to Yorkies and just wish to clarify if what a breeder is telling them is correct or not. Some may be quite experienced with Yorkies and breeding both.

As for the question of breeding fathers & daughters together, here is an answer that defines these various practices:

The answer is from this link: http://www.canismajor.com/dog/chos2brd.html

6. Line-breeding is the practice of breeding related dogs of the same breed that have superior physical and temperament traits and few serious faults and little potential for inherited diseases. For example, a line-bred dog may have the same grandsire on both the maternal and paternal sides or have the same bitch as dam and as paternal granddam. Line-breeding must be done with careful consideration of the undesirable traits as well as the sought-after characteristics.

7. In-breeding is the breeding of close relatives such as a bitch and her sire, a dog and his dam, a sister and brother, etc. In-breeding is best done only by experienced breeders with a particular goal in mind, i.e., to preserve a valuable gene pool in a rare breed or to try to fix a superior breed type.

8. Out-crossing is the practice of breeding unrelated dogs of the same breed. It is used as a breeding strategy to bring new traits into a breeding program, i.e., to introduce genes that may restore weak working instinct or clear up a physical fault. Line-bred puppies can come from two out-cross (non-line-bred) dogs that have a common ancestor. For example, if the bitch’s grandsire on her maternal side is the same dog as the sire’s grandsire on his paternal side, the pups will be line-bred on that common dog even though the bitch and dog are not themselves line-bred.

These are strictly definitions of the above methods of breeding, and I am not saying one method is any better or worse than the others, just defining them so they are less confusing for you. The link, however, to the "Dog Owners Guide" - it is an online magazine for pet and show dog owners, and has some very good articles in it.

I thank those of you that are concerned about rude and hurtful remarks when posting to a thread. I have been breeding for 5 years, and when I asked a question a few weeks ago, a friend of mine (who has one of my babies) called me to say how mean some of the responses were. It's so sad to have those kind of people in the world, but they are. I am proud to say I am a yorkie breeder and that if I can help anyone, I will do it with a smile and a positive note!! 13 days till I have more puupies!!!

My lil lady just went into her first season and I do not believe in breeding until the second or third depending on the size and health but this might not be the place to ask this but she has decided to act like a male dog and is found of a stuffed animal how do I stop her I have hid it from her because its my daughters favorite stuffed animal and because she will do it in front of everybody my vet laughed and told me to put it in a room so we didnt have to see it but she will drag it out
I am going crazy please any suggestions I plan on breeding her in a year or two.
thank you

Hi! I'm new to the site, and new to yorkies. I love my roxie and sasha - they are so adorable! Roxie is expecting, and I have no idea what to do to help her. She seems out of sorts as if she doesn't understand the changes in her body. I want her to be comfortable. I've never bred yorkies before or any other dog. I don't want to lose her if something happens during her pregnancy and I don't know what to do. I'd appreciate any ideas for my little girl!

HI and welcome to Y.T....You might want to go to the tab in the left hand corner that says "New Thread" and ask your ?'s again...most breeders wont see it in this thread.....Good luck with the upcoming litter and I hope you have a good vet looking after her....

Hi,

I would greatly appreciate any advice.
