Let's see, you have cussed folks here for their opinions in January, February, and now April. (I may have missed some.) I don't think people are being snotty and it all does have to do with the subject at hand. You asked for opinions. I sort of feel like you were setting us all up so you could lash out. There is a word for when people post a question they really have no interest in getting input, but instead are waiting for someone to comment, so they can pounce and spew their own preplanned agenda. It's called trolling. But I don't know if that is what you are doing or you just had your mind already made up and were hoping everyone would agree with you or what. Either way.... not looking good.
On the off chance that you really are interested, my "opinion" is -- don't breed her or him. You have another thread going about the crackling sound in your male yorkie's hind leg! And another thread about not having papers on your dogs (parents of this male)because getting papers when you bought them cost more and now you don't even remember who you got them from!?!?. Another thread where you say the male was a rescue. But there was the thread in December where you said the puppies were "...
CKC registered, and just pet quality" -- not sure how that happened if the adults were not registered, and I think you are saying they were not registered in this confusing thread. Oh and then there was the post where you wondered: "
Two of my yorkie pups have white on the tips of their left hind toes. I'm worred now that my rat a poo got to her while she was in heat. " If that was even a possibility......well I'm sure you know where that thought is going.
If you are wanting to breed just to keep them for yourself, why would you not have kept more from the last litter you sold what a little over a month ago? And where are the parents from that litter? I saw that you got the female when she was a year and a half old and is she now resold again? Because, I noticed you said you "had" a 7 pound yorkie that gave birth to the litter that this little guy is from. And I guess you sold the male from reading here:
http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...sgusted-3.html for $175, and later in that thread it says you got him as a rescue! Bought or rescued? And that he sired a litter of pups at the new home already! Don't rescues require dogs to be neutered? Are you just acquiring dogs to breed and then resell? Non-registered dogs that you are now looking for ways to get papers on? Did you get rid of those two because their pups were hard to sell? Do any of the dogs you are talking about have actual registration papers with AKC or even one of the other registries? Just asking not accusing.....
Another point: You now say you are an experienced breeder but just 2/19/2009 you posted "
Ok glad you all think they're cute. This is my first litter and I have been franctic on this site ever since my girl was pregnant. I am not an "experienced" breeder and other than a few little things like the ears I missed,.... " One litter does not make you experienced -- believe me! We do have to start somewhere but we are novices for several years at least! You also said back in February "
I am guilty of breeding.. I bred my female once, which I have pups now from, but she was two, and I'm having her fixed.. I just did it once, never again.. ...I have learned my lesson....." I guess you just meant you weren't going to breed her again, but would start with another dog, another breed? And did you spay her?
There are too many red flags here!! Please do not tell me this is all off topic either, because when you ask if you should breed dogs, EVERYTHING else you have been doing with animals comes into play. All of the animals: 4 cats, a rat-a-poo, two yorkies, a litter of 5 puppies -- one kept, and now a poodle, that is what I know of from a handful of posts I read, may be more, IDK. It all shows what type of breeder you are and that is a huge factor in whether or not you should breed any two dogs -- not just the poodle and yorkie you are talking about. You can't try to make this an issue of whether mixed breed dogs are as good as pure-bred. That is not what this is about. You can't act like you are breeding to standard when you aren't aware of your dogs origins! So, please just don't do it.
If you do, I guess we'll find your posts on a Poodle or Yorkie Poo forum a few months from now saying you are once again having a hard time selling your puppies. And new folks who haven't heard all the history will say, "Ah, it's the economy. You have beautiful pups." and you can start this whole thing all over again.
