| calling all breeders please? i am new to breeding as you know, having just had my second litter. My plan for MY program is to breed two and skip one. From what i can gather this is the way most people do it. How do you guys breed? i know there are people that breed every heat and I feel this is way too hard on the bitches and wears them out before their time. then I know there are some people that breed a year or two then take time off? Just wondering if I am on the right track with my plan? Thanks, Delores |

| I like the breed two and skip one, My female goes into heat once a year so I have had a couple of breeders say that would be fine to breed her on every heat since its that far apart but I dont think I will do that. I plan on Breeding Lilli one more time then she will be spayed |

| Why do you find it necessary to breed at all? Did you do genetic research on your dogs, pedigree research, are you trying to improve the breed? Just for extra money? Just curious..

| I was not trying to "bait" you. I was simply asking questions. There are just so many people that have just bred to produce litters for "fun" and "profit" and do not care about the breed standard or any thing else for that matter. Over breeding has just been a problem in many breeds and it concerns me. It disheartening to see post on the "for sale" thread from some so called breeders with not a care for anything except trying to make a buck from breeding their numerous breeds over and over again. I'm sorry if I offended you, that was not my intention, and you're being an "old lady", makes no difference to me. I'm not a spring chicken myself either, honey and I will continue to ask questions if I want to know something.

Don't get me wrong because there are alot of people who do start off for the wrong reason and should not be breeding but you are not one of them. Just my opinion...

| Okay, Okay ladies! This is a good question, how often to breed. I was always told to breed and than break but I know that it's more common to breed twice and than break with Yorkies. I would say that you have to decide what is best for your bitch according to how often she heats, if C-sections are involved and how many litters your kennel can comfortably handle each year. My question is when is the best age to retire a brood bitch? My kennel is still in the red too and I want an other brood bitch!
