Like the others said AKC does not reg. mixes, period. If she is a show breeder, the reason why you got your pup so cheap is that she meant to sell him as a PET ONLY, being he is not of show or breeding quality. Not as future stud to a poodle or any random female Yorkie out there. Big mistake by the breeder in giving full registration, in my opinion! Most people who have a Yorkie female looking for a a stud to bred with, will want to be within the AKC standard and would not choose to use a stud that is 8 lbs. And will also want you to have testing done on your male for liver shunt and knees etc. In my area the Yorkie market is so flooded now that breeders are selling purebred Yorkie males for $500. If you had a mixed litter for sale you might get a couple hunderd bucks each, but if you run into trouble you will spend 5 x that in vet bills for a C-sec should you need one. You will also have to give the puppy shots, vet exam, worming before they go to a new home. Another expense to take away from the possible profit. Not sure if you would tail dock or remove dews on a mix, but that would also be a expense. Heating pad and whelping box for mom and possible xrays before she whelps. Puppies aren't easy and you might have hand feed if something goes wrong ( every 2-4 hrs) no sleep, no cleaning the house etc. When the pup sare ready you have people coming to your house , phone calls, questions to answer about the parents, how to housebreak, how to feed, short schedule, the list goes on and on. In the end you might make enough $$ to fill your car with gas, BUT IF THINGS GO WRONG you can end up in the poor farm too. |
