YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Welcome to YT. It does take some time to find your way around. Just a note for you, that "advertising stud services" is not allowed on the forum. If you are new to breeding; I highly recommend you read all the information, we call them "stickies" that can be found, in either the Breeders Forum, or the YT Library. Breeding should never be undertaken lightly, we all want our Yorkies to be fine solid and healthy specimens of the breed. There are a number of pre breeding tests that should be undertaken prior to any breeding, and you should know the health lineage back as far as you can first on your male, and then with the female. I will quickly list what I would recommend; 1. BATS 2. LP evaluation - offa numbers secured 3. Hip evaluation - offa numbers secured 4. Thyroid - offa posted 5. CT 6. Full Blood Panel (no more than one month prior to breeding date) 7. Brucellosis (7-10 days prior to breeding date) 8. Normal vet evaluative on heart, lungs, etc 9, PRA and a CERF number secured Depending upon where you go to get these tests done; you are looking at upwards of $500. You also might like to take a browse through our Sick and Emergency forum, to see the high price; emotional and financial that owners of structurally unsound dogs pay!

| Welcome to Yorkietalk. The first question is, is Scooter and excellent example of the breed? Also is he AKC? Has he been health tested? Is he free of LP? Being a dad or even a mom is not as important to dogs as it is to humans and he would not miss out on anything if you decided not to breed him and maybe even got him neutered.

| Welcome to Yorkie Talk! I'm not a breeder so can't speak to that -- way too complicated, and heard too many horror stories, but glad you found us, and there are some great experts here

| Gemy is known as a very respected breeder here on YT. I would take seriously what she says. If you purchased your AKC dog as a pet then it is not breeding stock. Pets carry unfavorable traits that a good breeder would not want to pass on. The more pet quality animals that are bred the further away the pups get from what the description of the breed standard is. There are already way too many pet quality Yorkies out there that are producing genetically damaged puppies as well as traits that are considered defects to the breed. AKC is a registry and has nothing to do with the quality of your dog. Pet quality Yorkies make wonderful pets but should never be bred. Male dogs are much happier neutered and well loved by their owners. |
