| Welcome to YT ! So you want to breed your girl ? Have you done ALL the research & has she & ALL of her relatives back for years been health checked & tested for any congenital & hereditary defects ? Is she AKC registered ? There are Many things to consider before Breeding your girl, if you are not breeding for the betterment of the breed then you need to seriously reconsider breeding |

| I have had her checked out plenty of times and shes perfectly healthy. I bought her from a place that i now know mis- treats their dogs, and may even falsify documents, so i am questionable about her past. Im not breeding to sale the puppies. I want a boy, and a chance to start over and do tings right, also i want her to know what it feels like to be a mother. Am i in the wrong? |

We have a "Teapot" club here full of proud members over the Yorkie breed standard of 7 pounds. One of the most important questions to ask yourself when considering breeding is why you want to breed your dog. I love my boys and think they are adorable, but they are "pet" quality, slightly out of standard or ideal. Therefore, they are neutered. To me, "betterment of the breed" means choosing the best representatives of the breed to reproduce. That way the best genes are passed along. There are so many dogs in this country without a home. An alarming number are euthanized for no other reason than being homeless. That is one of the many reasons many dog lovers support selective breeding.

| I see you answered the question of why you want to breed your girl. Go to the breeder section here to talk to experienced breeders. What they have to tell you may change your mind about wanting your girl to experience motherhood.

| Wow, I never called you a name (pretty sure you called me an a**hole) and yet you spout off about me being condescending?? Pot meet kettle.

| Ok i understand. I have beend studying this three years i didnt just wake up and decide to have puppies. I love my dog and i will love her pups. She might not be pretty but she has plenty of other charecteristics and abilities that make her special. I also have a 5 pound yorkie named india who would be a perfect canidate for bettering the breed, because she is small and obedient, but my tuli is physically superior to every yorkie that i know she is strong, atheletic, and affectionate. Are these not traits that i want my pups to have? Should i only want a small, petite, show dog looking yorkie? |

| It take more then just a cute, sweet, and smart dog for breeding. What if she has babies and one a blue born? What if she needs a c-section? What if the pups she delivers end up getting liver shunts or an lp? Are you prepared to drop up to $6,000 on an emergency c-section for your baby? Since you said you've read up on things, I'm sure you know that toy breeds are notorious for needing c-sections, so I'm hoping that if you go on with this, despite the many people on this forum that will tell you not to, that you've already started saving up money or applied for care credit.

| I have more replies that need to be reviewed before they get posted, but one of tem includees an apology for the a**hole comment, hopefully we can finish this conversation like adults. But my theory is that maybe since she is so big she should have a succesful delivery, and yes i am prepared to do and pay whatever it takes for my tuli. |
