Default Mixed Breeding

Have you had all the health test done on both dogs........livershunt is the number one health risk in yorkies and if yours does not have it, she very well could be a carrier and you could produce it with a breeding.........and the maltese is running a close second to having livershunt in the line........you need to be very careful with your choices......are you prepared to have the surgery done on the puppies if they have livershunt.......close to 2000 dollars per puppy..........breeding needs to be left to the experienced......bringing puppies into this world for selfish reasons is not the answer........go to a shelter or get on some rescue sites and foster puppies for awhile and learn about the heartbreak that they have to endure.......I know we all need to learn to be experienced but we don't just buy a yorkie and breed.......we buy a quality yorkie for show and and I don't mean you have to show but why spend bucks for the quality and not show it off..........show dogs are bred for quality or they should be.......good stifles......good bites.........livershunt tested......trachea checked........good toplines.........these are things to consider and off course losing the mom during whelping is heart breaking and remember is she dies and the pups live........can you tube feed to keep the pups alive????????........your reason is not enough to breed
