| Yorkie Questions! Can someone tell me please how old can a male be before he can no longer breed? I have the cutest little yorkie, Wesley, he is AKC registered. He belonged to my mother who we just had to put into a nursing home. He is now living with me for the last month and has stolen my heart. He is spunky, and loves to play. |

| If hes so cute and spunky and you love all his qualities why do you wantt to breed him. You know when you breed him his personality will totally change. He will become more intedrested in sex , he will most likely mark, he will be looking for ways to get out, he may become aggressive and he may not be attentive to you. Why do you want to change him. Leave the breeding to breeders

Males un-neutered can probably be bred for a very long time, but the key question is should they be bred at older ages? Will the breeding be successful? How much strain will it put on an elderly dogs heart? What is the viability of his semen and the health thereof? This is your mothers dog, does she want him bred? Has he been bred before? The AKC has some requirements for older dogs being bred and validation of the litter thereof. Go to www.akc.org and do a search on there, or phone them up and ask your questions of them. For example I have a male stud of 8+ years old who is registered with AKC on OPEN REGISTRATION, are there any special requirements I need to do if I decide to breed this male? Oh an BTW unless you are the owner of record at AKC you can't sign the oaperwork for litter registration your Mother needs to. You can't breed a dog and register a litter if his registration is Limited and not Open registration. Breeding is not something one goes into lightly - so consider all the ramifications thereof. There are articles in our library that talk about breeding - read them.

| Since I am guessing you don't know his lines you really shouldn't be breeding him because he could have some really serious genetic issues that run in his lines even if he is healthy and you could doom the puppies to get those illnesses and live lives suffering do to it.
