| Should I breed my Max I had an appointment for this coming friday to get Max fixed. He's now about 14 months old. Originally I was going to breed him. But Now I see he probably wont be wanted by any serious breeders. Max is about 11lbs and has very large ears so they dont stand up. He's the most awesome Dog I've ever had. Extremely intelligent, obedient and above all---HOUSE TRAINED!!! no accidents, aside from the occasional excited pee when its been too long in between going out. Anyway, my neighbor came out to see me today and asked if I would be interested in letting Max breed with her daughter's Yorkie. Not to make money or anything like that, just because she wants to let her dog have one litter. Question is---should I put off getting Max fixed and allow him to breed (hopefully she will accept my fabulous male), or should I just continue to go and get him fixed. I figured it doesn't much matter if he gets fixed now or in a few months. The thing I was wondering about is, once he mates successfully (if he does) does it change his demeanor or anything? Much appreciate any feedback on this. I'm sorry for being so ignorant about the subject. I am also hoping that if the mating is successful that she'll give me one of the babies. |

| Max You asked and I will tell you my opinion...Max should be neutered. He sounds wonderfully suited for what he is..a loving companion Yorkie. He is not marking in the house and he is a good, clean boy...breed him and that is apt to change...even if it does not, it is a responsible thing to not breed a male with his faults..nothing personal Max!

| Go ahead and have him neutered and try convince your neighbors that "just to have a litter" is no reason to breed. Tell them about this site and maybe they can come on and learn something about all the rescue Yorkies in the world and all the over breeding that is being done. Please, please talk to them!

| PS about those yorkie rescues, I have yet to find one in my area. I thought it would be great to get another Yorkie, but I wanted to do the right thing and get one that no one else wanted. I live in Connecticut and never see any in my area |

Lovin' 2 Girls Donating Member | How big is 'daughter's yorkie'? Since the male needs to be smaller than the female, this is definitely not a match made in heaven unless the daughter's pooch is 15lbs?

| Where does it end??? When I can pick up a Dallas newspaper and there are 78 ads for Yorkies, or some mix of Yorkie. Does no one see the problem? I'm sorry but it just make me ill how many people are breeding just to breed. Yes, they're beautiful and loving, but people, be responsible!! Even Bob Barker has reminded people for years, "Spay or neuter". Breeding should be left to people who are actually involved in trying to improve the breed, not just want puppies because they are soooo cute, or they can make a buck!! No, I'm not a member of some human society that has come back to haunt people, Im just someone that has been involved with dogs for years and learned about responsible breeding 30 years ago, You can call it bashing, or whatever you want to, I just call it caring about a beautiful breed and what's becoming of it.

| The Bad Thing Is ....even On This Yt, You See Mommies 12lbs W Daddies 4lbs Thinking It Is Ok. Well That Just Doesn't Sit Well W Me. This Is Why We Have So Many Complaints On Dog Sizes. The Yorkie Standard Is No More Than 7 Lbs....lets Keep It That Way.

| A breeding pair should both at MINIMUM fall within the standard size if they are to be bred imo. I'd have your little one neutered OR have a vasectomy done on him if your husband can't stand the idea of his little..."stepchildren"/"boys", whatever he wishes to call them, not being present. |
