I assure you if you met these two you would want to breed them too. I mean they not only geniunely love each other but they love people in general. I couldnt ask for better family pets. not to mention due to his size he has some advantages over the lil 7 lbs standards. He can outrun my labrador, clear a 4 ft baracade without touching it, I dont have to worry about him being frail when playing with our 70lbs lab, and i assure you every vet that has seen him has said he is a beacon of health. So excuse me for not wanting to line breed little unhealthy teacups to make a quick buck. |
I don't believe anyone suggested "line breeding little unhealthy teacups to make a quick buck". Responsible owners and breeders certainly don't want to see that happen either. The personality traits you describe are quite common in most "standard" Yorkies also. Yours is not out of the ordinary. There are already lots of fun loving, oversized, flop eared Yorkies out there that need homes that your friends could provide. I'm very happy you love your dogs, thats the way it should be. You also said you had 12 people or so that you want to provide puppies for. What if you only get one or two? Are you just going to keep breeding until she fulfills everyone "need"? It would be much better and healthier for your bitch if you waited till she was at least 18 months old. Yorkies don't mature as some of the larger breeds and she will basically still be a child. That would mean going through another season or two and as you have discovered, it's difficult.
