| Need advise on which yorkie stud to use I have found two 3 lb. yorkie studs in my area (both about 18. months old). One stud has impregnated more than 1 female yorkie. The other stud (my favourite - perfect little yorkie) has impregnated only 1 female - in fact two months ago he spent a week with 2 females in heat (at the same time) and neither female got pregnant. The owners tell me that he must have been "overworked" and that's why the females didn't get pregnant. My female is about to come into heat. I think it is odd that my favorite stud didn't get two females pregnant, and am hesitating to use him. Is it possible for a yorkie male to become "overworked"? Thanks |

| yes it is i don't know how common it is with yorkies but if my husband breeds one of his stud dogs, he lets some time elapse between breedings. the sperm count will get low with frequent breedings and you will have no pups. |

| stud There is a different in allowing a male to "be" with a female and actually breeding the female. It is very common for some pet breeders to put two dogs together and hope for the best. The two dogs must actually be bred to call it a stud service..that is the responsiblity of the breeder. If this breeder saw both bitches bred (tied) and neither took, I would not use him until he produced another litter or had a sperm count done...and I would never pay for a stud service if the breeder allows another bitch to be bred at the same time.. I have bred my own male with two bitches in the same heat cycle..a healthy male can be used once a day for several days with no ill effects...and nice size litters resulted..but it is never wise to over use a male. |

| Thank you. I just spoke with my vet who also thought it was odd that neither female took and suggested that a sperm count should be done. I guess I better stick with the successful male stud for this coming up heat unless the breeder is willing to do a sperm count on their male. |
