I am really upset over this, I am a dog groomer and i do have some really wonderful clients. I groom so many yorkies and see every shape and size, people with yorkies usually come to me cause I have two and ADORE the breed...
Well I am also a big believer that unless you have a mentor, understand 'breeding ethics', understand the importance of health testing, etc then do not breed...just my opinion.

I had a client who came very 5 weeks with her little yorkie, she weighed maybe 6 lbs, sweet little thing (just don't hit a snarl!!). She decided she was going to breed her yorkie, I asked her to really look into it, gave her my advice and even gave this websites address and told her that these people will give her the advice she needs...but she was so sure she would be fine...

She called me tonight at home (my shop is commercial and in another town) crying. Her yorkie passed away this afternoon, she was at work and she went into labour, the by the time she got home and raced her to the vet it was too late. Both pups died a few hours later (I am assuming she had a c-section, she was crying very hard).
I don't know all the details or what went wrong but it was a risk I had warned her about and I feel horrid because this dog meant so much to her.


We cried together on the phone, I have been grooming this dog for over a year. It is just really, really sad.
I just wanted to share because I cannot imagine going through this, I know we say it 'can' happen, well today it did happen.
