As for the reason i want to breed my yorkie, Well I think most people will think the same reason, to get the money back for the dog. I paid 500 for it and wouldn't mind getting 500 out of him.

I paid $450.00 for my Teddy (My 1st Yorkie and my 1 I used to bred Tiffanie to, he was/is around 6 lbs. in weight and it goes up and down, never over 6.5 lbs.)

I paid $500.00 for Tiffanie (10 lbs before being pregnant by Teddy and carring our litter of 4 and 6 puppies) my Breeding felmale and to me neither of these prices was high dollar.

Did I get my money back for the $950.00 I paid total for them through our 2 litters of puppies, why shoot NO, I have added every single penny we've spent on these 2 litters up and oh my U should see how much they costed us...Not a dime made from them, does it bother me? NO So U might want to rethink U making U're money back on U're Yorkie. I'm living proof there's no money to be made. At least not here in our home.

I have talked to many breeders and told them the same thing, and they totally agree. Ive talked to my vet and she said yorkiepoos are registered purebred, so for the people that say no, I will go with my vet on this one as she has been a vet for longer than i have been alive.

I have to agree with the last post, you guys were getting a little harsh.

1st off if U was talking to me about being harsh, I wasn't trying to be harsh at all, just asking questions and trying to let U know that we need "Pure Bred Yorkies" to keep our Yorkie Breed alive. & to let U know what I went through with my Yorkies. So please don't take it the wrong way. We're NOT picking on U at all.

I know that my male will make beautiful puppies with whatever he breeds, and im only going to breed him once. So what is the big deaL???

Well I "thought" too that my 2 we're going to make beautiful puppies and yes they did, U should see the coat that Tiffanie has, it's just beautiful and yes I can say only 1 I say 1 puppy out of 10 may have her coat that would be our Sofie!!! So I too threw 2 Yorkies together!!!! I learned my lesson, not to throw 2 Yorkies together.

As far as U breeding U're male only 1 time, what is the big deal?? Well U have tons just like me to learn, and just breeding once can cause very very sick puppies (By the Grace Of God) all of our 10 puppies were/is healthy! and what about U mating U're large male, what if he throws out all big puppies and then the female U bred him to ends up having a C-Section? That's gonna cost U a lot of money. So if I was U, I'd rethink breeding him just that one time.

If I didn't want to get into breeding yorkies, then I wouldn't have purchased such a expensive dog.

U shouldn't be looking at the price of U're Yorkie, U should be looking at the QUALITY of him, by this I mean is he up to the AKC Standards? What about the female U're going to bred him to? Is she up to the AKC Standards? Will they have AKC Standard Puppies?? It's not always the price U pay for a Yorkie it's the Quality of the Yorkie...And I do have to say this and please others don't take this the wrong way...But one lesson I've learned in Breeding Yorkies is that U do get what U pay for in Yorkies, so if U want a "Pet Quality Yorkie" to throw out "Pet Quality" Yorkies then U're gonna pay like $400.00 to maybe $600.00 (Going by prices here in our State), if U want "AKC Standard" or "Show Quality" Yorkies to throw out "AKC Standard" or "Show Quality" Yorkies then U're gonna pay well over at least $1000.00 and even higher prices then this.

I love my yorkie and I wouldn't ever trade him for anything. He is such a good dog, and loving dog, but I want to breed him, just like mymother wants to breed her teacup yorkie.

Please read here and learn about the "Teacup Yorkies" for one there isn't no such thing and I hope and pray to God U're not thinking about breeding (Not saying U are, just hope U're not) U're 8 lb. male to U're Mothers Yorkie, for if U do then U're more then likely gonna be looking at a C-Section or even kill U're Mothers' Yorkie and maybe some of their puppies.

Eventurally my breeder is going to help me get another female and i will do the same with her. I really dont see anything wrong with wanting to breed him. Have you ever seen yorki-poos. They are adorable. What do u all feel about the Morkies? they are mixed dogs also? But I dont see you complaining to the lady that owns morkies? just complaining on what i want to do with max

What do uthink im that stupid and not take my dog to a vet. I have two other dogs here at my house, both of them are mutts,but they are the most loving dogs ever, and Yes i take them to the vet also. I dont know much about you guys,

There is nothing wrong with having Mutts, I had one that came to our door and I kept him and loved him with all my heart until he got stolen out of our back yard 4 years ago, but I never bred my Mutt to have Mutt Puppies.

and if you guys are rich or not, but $500.00 for a dog is expensive to me.

We're not rich by no means. When we adopted Sage we just knew we needed to improve our lines and knew we had to adopt a new Yorkie in order to make this happen, and let me tell U that our Sage did cost more than our Tiffanie and Teddy costed us total (No offense Tammy and YES, she was/is well worth what we paid to adopt her) So therefor I know we won't make anything off of her and Galahads' puppies, but I don't care, we're not in breeding Yorkies for the money it's because we LOVE the Yorkie Breed and want to do them honor by getting to the AKC Standards & maybe one day we can have Show Quality Puppies.

Im a stay at home mother of two, and we have income coming into the house weekly, and its hard to make ends meet sometimes. So yes the main reason we purchased "MAX" Was to breed him and see if we could get extra money. As we are living in NYS and we are in a severe depression now, and money is hard to come by right now. If i can at least make 500 for max, then i would be happy, and then get him neutered. Im not the type of person to just keep breeding and breeding him. Ive done some research, and the main reason i came to this site was to further my research. So for the people that are being harsh, then I advise you to see how low-income people survive, and understand that money is tight to come by, and we need everybit that comes even if that means breeding him out to a poodle.

We live in Indiana & own our own Construction Company building and framing houses, my hubby hadn't worked from the 1st of Jan until April 8, 2008 so U wanna talk hard times, we've got them here in our house. We're by NO means RICH and yes our bills are behind.

I could breed Sage and Galahad NOW the WRONG way with this being her 1st heat and throw out some puppies that wouldn't be born until like July (Haven't done the math to see when they would be born if I mated them now) but how in the world would that help me NOW??? We have a 05' Mustang and we might have to let it go back but U know what that don't matter to me for I know I've done my Yorkies right by waiting and my Hubby don't expect our Yorkies to make us money he knows we've went in the hole with them.

I feel that maybe U didn't/don't know how much it could cost to have a litter of pups and now U need to rethink making any money off any litter of dogs. For U're talking Vet expences, tails docked, dew claws (For the Yorkie Breed, I don't know nothing about the poodles or any mix breeding what they may have to have done to them when born.) to be removed and shots on each of puppy U have. Do U have the money put back for all of this if not U're gonna HAVE to come up with ALL this MONEY by the time U're female has this litter of pups. If U have gotten U're Yorkie from a breeder or talked to many breeders then they should of been more then willing to tell U the "TRUTH" about not making any money off of Breeding Yorkies unless they are not adopting out good quality AKC Yorkies (I don't know). But I know as a breeder of Yorkies if I was to ever (All our puppies was adopted out on a spay/neuter Strict Contracts) adopt any of ours out for breeding stock I sure would tell them there's NO money to be MADE breeding Yorkies and NONE of my Yorkies will NEVER be adopted for this reason!!!

I think U should go read this

http://www.21stcenturycares.org/backyardbreeders.htm

& don't take it the wrong way, but U are from U're own statements out to make money from U're Yorkie and this is so sad to me for U're gonna suffer, U're Yorkie is gonna suffer, U're puppies is gonna suffer and the families that adopt U're puppies are gonna suffer, for U're in breeding to make money and there for the quality of U're puppies (No matter what breed, mixed or pure bred) are not going to be what they should by AKC Standards.

I'm sorry if U took anything I had to say the wrong way or think I'm being harsh toward U (Most of the time those new ones here that think we're being harsh to others are feeling this way because maybe U haven't walked in our shoes, down the path we have already taken & down deep they maybe have a thought that what they are doing might be wrong and their hearts are telling them they could be going about breeding for the wrong reasons but yet their head/mind is saying oh, don't listen to them U can make money at this and it won't hurt the puppies or U're males or females, so maybe U all need to start listening to U're hearts not U're heads/minds) but all I've said is MY Personal Experiences and I just want others NOT to go through what I have.
