she comes from a mother of 11 pounds and a father of 9 pounds.
Is she a good representative of the breed?
She has standard yorkie markings
Have you done all the health screening?
This is the stuff i wonder about. Do i just ask my vet for some sort of standard pre-breeding check-up? What about the stud i find, what paperwork do i need to see on him?
Do you have the time and money in case you need a c=section or have to hand raise the littler?
I am a Navy Officers wife (meening we have cash flow) and will spend any amount to save my dog or her puppies life. I am also a stay at home mommy and have the time to take care of my girl and any of her pups as necessary.
Are you willing to risk the life of your pet if there are complications?
I hate to think of this idea. I love my baby so very much, but much like a human giving birth, complications do happen and i will just have to understand that bad things do happen if it comes to that.
I need to know more about health screening info, how to do the AKC registering stuff for puppies as a breeder, and how to find reputable breeders for the stud service in my area as well as what do i look for in a studs size and weight since my girl is so much smaller than her parents?? |
I would have a vet examine her patellas, have him do blood work for liver shunt and check her hips for Legge Perthes(I know I spelled that wrong). Maybe have a knowlegable breeder/exhibitor check her conformation(top-line, bite, type of hair) to see if she is a good example of the breed.
Go to a dog show in your area!! They are really fun to see and you might meet some good breeders there. You can look up shows on infodog.com. Also check out the breeders on YTCA in your area. Best of luck!!!
