 Breeding
Very good information here. My friend breeds and shows her Yorkies. She started about 7 yrs. ago and still considers herself a "beginner" . I have been involved assisting her for 3 yrs, and I can attest to the statement that breeding is not a good thing to do on a "whim". My friend and I are both nurses in big city hospitals, and let me say that we prepare for whelping as if it were a human being's birth! We have all the information we can get, and all the safeguards possible, at the ready, with a vet on call.
Even so, we've had a few bad experiences, that can make you wonder if you have the heart for it. You need to have passion for the breed and a large desire. Yorkies do not deliver their own pups. There's so much to know and research and still you learn with each experience.
It's hard work and sometimes dirty and smelly, and bloody. You have to clean, clean, clean. You have to love these little bubbas as much as your own children. Indeed, it is a passion. GreatScottsYorkies.com |
