Of course there are a few risks to spaying but the benefits really do outweigh them for most dogs.
Breeding is a lot of work and it takes a lot of money to do health screenings and possibly getting an emergency c-section done, so just study all you can before you decide. 
The youngest a Yorkie should be bred is second heat or 18 months and the first tme breeding shouldn't be done after three years. |
I guess there really is a whole lot for me to learn. I love the breed and I just want to make sure I'm doing everything correctly.
