| Help! Our Yorkie Doesn't love us anymore! Okay, maybe its not that dramatic but it certainly feels that way. We've had LeStat for a year and he was the most loving, affectionate puppy one could imagine. We loved him so much we decided that we wanted to continue his line and always have his offspring with us. We brought home Akasha, a 10 week old female puppy as his eventual life partner and mother of his puppies. We feared that LeStat would be jealous of the new puppy and we were going to show him as much attention as possible. As shocking as it may seem...it seems its us humans who are the jealous ones! Our loving puppy no longer cares about us, no longer obeys commands, he's going in the house...basically...all that exists for him is Akasha. Is this normal? If so, how long will it last? Is this a permanent behavioral change or only temporary? We obviously don't want to neuter him or spayed her as that defeats the whole purpose of bringing her home (other than the fact she's the cutest thing you've ever seen). Anyone else have this issue?

| Jackson would generally prefer to hang out with another dog than hang out with me, LOL. Now that my mom's dog who lived with us died though, he's become much more attached to me. As far as I know though, if you're not going to neuter him, and plan on breeding him... they become different dogs. I have no experience with this so it's simply what I've read/heard. They're not so much "pets" anymore. But maybe that's not always the case. An un-neutered male will constantly be mounting your female, I would think. And marking everything. This is simply my opinon, but I think neutered/spayed dogs make for better pets and I think it's the right thing to do unless you have 100% done your research and understand the difficulties involved with breeding, get the correct genetic testings, know their lineage, etc.

| I have to be careful not to bring home even a stuffed animal Maxwell's size--he becomes so obsessed nobody else matters. I can imagine if I brought him a real live furfriend! Love the name LeStat -- how did you come up with it? |

| I loved Ann Rice when they first came out...what I LOVE now is the Laurell K Hamilton stuff....Anita, the vampire hunter...eww la la! The dog will come around. Be patient. But remember, what you loved about him was his nature when YOU were his pack. If you start breeding, you may end up with him as a pack leader of his own brood, thereby negating that whole "have him with us always" thing of keeping his pups. You may want to evaluate if it has to be HIS line, or if others from his breeder might do.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I actually don't believe he will ever come around to being your little boy again, unless he's neutered. A neutered male enjoys the company of other dog's, male and female, an unneutered male dog, however, is obsessed in the company of unsprayed female dogs, and in time will grow more obsessed with her. Breeders have a difficult choice, and do have to give their little boys up. Unless your dogs are excellent examples of the breed, I don't believe that you should breed, the market is really saturated with pet quality yorkies, and even rescues are having problems finding homes. Also, it's really important to have health screening done to ensure your dogs aren't' passing genetic problems along, these can be costly tests, but I believe a breeder is responsible for all the offspring she produces, and should ensure she has done everything possible to produce healthy pups, many genetic diseases don't show up until after the age of 3, and can be very costly to treat. Wouldn't you want a breeder who did health screening? So my advice is to leave breeding up to the experts, and enjoy your dogs as pets.
