| Breeder Hello, I have a 20 week old prince name Anore and within a year or so I want him to have his own babies so that he can have someone to play with and also company! How does that work? I know I would need another female Yorkie. I live in saint louis and if there is anyone else looking to breed please can someone go over how this works. Or is there anyone out there looking for breed their female Yorkie? The vet keeps pushing me to get him fixed but if they push everyone so fast like this we won't have anymore Yorkies left. |

| Breeding dogs is not that simple. First of all, not every dog is worthy of being bred. If the dog is not a solid representation of the breed and clear of possibly debilitating genetic diseases, then it should not even be a question. Then there is the fact that dogs have more than one puppy often, do you have homes lined up for all of Them? There could be anywhere from 1 to 5+ puppies who will need shots, wormings, tails docked, supervision, socialization, the list goes on. The reason why the vet is pushing you to get the dog fixed is because you are not a breeder and the reasons you have stated as to why you want to breed your dog are kind of the reason why there are shelters full of dogs with no homes, being put down every day. Please reconsider going down this road and just adopt or buy another dog if you feel your dog needs a "playmate" And please go ahead and make sure they are both spayed/neutered. Trust me, you don't want you how down this road and no offence but the fact that you even have to ask these questions proves you are no where near ready to take on this responsibility. |

| Have him neutered and go buy a puppy from a reputable breeder for him to play with. Way to much bad breeding and dogs in shelters to breed just because you want him too.

| I definitely understand the desire to have your pup's line continue because they're just perfect to you. I feel the same about every dog I've had. However, the fact of the matter is that most dogs are not breeding quality. So like the others stated, have your kiddo neutered and get a puppy from a reputable breeder. Leave the breeding to the experts & just enjoy your perfect little guy. |

| I'm afraid you will not find anyone here who has a female to breed with your pet yorkie in this YT Community. If you do a little bit of research, you'll quickly discover that there are many reasons not to breed yourself unless you are a professional breeder who intends to breed to better the breed and compete in the show ring. As others mentioned there are significant health risks. Most if not all members here are aware of this and will recommend that if you want a pet puppy for your baby Anore to play with, that you find a reputable breeder to buy a second puppy later on. There are many reasons your vet recommends having him fixed (many that rjwalt have listed). Hopefully you'll come to a better understanding and opt to adopt or buy from a reputable breeder later on. In the meantime, please have your baby neutered by 6 to 8 months and enjoy him for the pet he is and leave the breeding to the pros.

| I agree with everyone here, you would want to breed for the better of that breed, not 'just because" and there's a very good reason for that. So many health issues can happen, even with some of the better breeders. May not be with your litter but if you sell to someone else later on or give your pups as a gift, they may decide to breed them and then the cycle goes over and over again, and they may not do the right thing by the yorkies, whether they realize it or not. You need to know that it's both time consuming and costly to do it right and proper, even if it's for yourself/family. You also would have to take great care in who you decide to sell/give to and look for red flags, if you truly care for your pups. (you could easily get 3-6 in a litter, so it's not practical to think you'll breed him for just one companion "daughter/son") I'm not a breeder, but this is something I can truly appreciate as a yorkie lover. I believe it would be best to find a companion elsewhere, adoptable or from another reputable breeder. Older dogs are great companions as they are already fairly set in their ways so you can have a better time figuring them out and if they'll fit with your lifestyle.

| Thank you! I really appreciate everyone's response. This is my first dog so sometimes I'm unsure what I should do and what's the right thing to do. But I have his appointment booked with his vet for him to get fixed. I will just buy another dog for him to play with. I do wish I can make him a family but it's not up to me and I don't want to force it! |

| If you are looking to add a pup to your home, I can recommend a fantastic breeder who lives in Bowling Green, KY - she isn't too far from you and has a impeccable reputation. My Lacie came from her and she is a Champion, both parents were champions and she is the 1/2 sister of the recently retired Rudy, who was the #1 yorkie in America in both 2015 and 2016. Anna also bred the sire of my other yorkie, Lollie who is also a champon. Her sire, Jack was the #1 yorkie in Americain 2010 which was the year Lollie was born. Her pups may seem pricey, but you get QUALITY and HEALTHY pups. I have bred a few litters, and plan to breed Lacie later this year to carry on the bloodline and tradition of her sire, Trip, who is now deceased. Anna doesn't have pups very often, but when she does, they are something special. If you have an interest, shoot me a pm and I can hook you up with her contact info. |

| The best thing you can do for your little boy is to neuter him and buy or rescue a BFF for him.
