| breeding questions can you breed without a pedigree? does anyone breed males being more than 5 lbs? what is the average weight of males? and how come some won't breed yorkies with floppy ears?

2. Yes, people do breed males larger than 5 pounds. Many of your show champions are around 6 pounds. But they should not go over 7 pounds! It is our standard that help to guide us. 3. Floppy ears are genetic fault. TEars may go up and down during (baby) teething, but should go up and stay up after that! T. | |

| Whether ears are genetic or not is pretty much opinion. I have a girl who came to me ears down, (unshaven untrained ears probably)from a pet home. She had her first litter and all of their ears stood fine. If you have a breeder with really thick big ears, that could be another story. |

| Sorry - I should have mentioned that ears should be shaved as they develop. Hair on the ears can be a reason for them being down. I just expect everyone knows to shave the ears - so do not think about mentioning it. T. |

| so what happens if you don't get a pedigree from the breeder? i mean what does that mean? that there could be problems with the puppy or what? how do you get a pedigree if the breeder doesn't give you one?

| You do not necessarily have to get a pedigree from the breeder. If the puppy is registerd - order one from the registry company it is registered with. Simple! T. |

| Ok, well you have to understand what a pedigree is. It's different than her registration. A pedigree is like a family tree. And no, you don't have to have that to breed her. Where are you located? I think you could probably benefit from a good mentor if you are wanting to start a breeding program. There's lots of research involved first.

| No, I think you misunderstood my question....hmmm...it's hard to put into words...I realize you say she is registered. What are her characteristics? Genetic background in previous generations? How closely does she compare to the 'ideal' standard set forth by the AKC? |

| Well unfortunately, I would not go to any of them for help or information. YT is a fantastic source of info. Ask lots of questions and make sure you are breeding with the right intentions and ethics. As for the pedigree.... go to www.akc.org You can order one for her from there. It will tell her the past 3 generations.
