IS THIS TRUE??? |
I is often said that if a female does have a litter within 2 years of age she is less likely to have cancer, but if the female is over 2 years old it doesnīt matter if she has a litter or not, she has the same risk of cancer as females that never have puppies. BUT this is no rule and I don't think anyone has proven this.
It is usially better for the female NOT to have puppies, too many risks that comes with breeding her, might even end up with no dog, no female and no puppies if something goes wrong.
I would only breed a female if I think that she could contribute alot to the Yorkshire Terrier breeding and then I would be aware of the risks and prepare to deal with them if that should happen.
It is easier to just spay the female that is not intended to breed because then you are not tempted to breed her, because you canīt, its not an option
