I haven't seen alot of them and I don't know what they look like. If I do breed her, it wil be for myself.. I mean, I would keep the pups for myself. She would probably only have one or two tops.. Anyway, I have experience with breeding and it would only be a one time thing.. i just don't know what to do. Most of the yorkie poos I have seen pretty much look just like yorkies which seems to defeat the purpose.. ANy advice??? The attatched picture is Pottsy a few months ago. He isn't any bigger now.

She's had a litter before of yorkie poo's before I got her and the lady that had her before said she had 2 pups and they were the cutest thing ever. So who knows. I will have plenty of time deciding anyway because my boy is only 5 months old.

I'm not trying to mean but you said you have experience in breeding but in this thread you said it was your first litter. Is that the only experience you have?

Then, you say you won't worry about the pups going to shelters but you had a hard time selling your Yorkie pups just 2 months ago!

I'm sorry but you are what some would call a "backyard breeder". Do you have any information on the dogs you are breeding? Would they be passing on any diseases to their pups? Have you read any of the stories on here about the problems that can arise during labor and afterwards?

I'm not sure how old you are but these dogs can live a long time and even if you wouldn't be the one to send them to a shelter --- it could happen. What if something happened to you? Who would take all of these dogs then?

I think you love your dogs but I really think you're breeding for fun. Please don't do that. If you really want to get into breeding please do it the right way. You can find out anything you need to know right here on YT. Please read, ask questions and seek out an established, reputable breeder close to you.
