Look at this sweet girl. She was 6-6.5 lbs. She had 5 beautiful puppies on 2/28/09 -- 3 days later she was gone, a complication of childbirth. I miss her so much and wish I had not bred her. I thought I was all ready for breeding. That was going to be my retirement challenge. Breed for a line of beautiful Yorkies! But I failed to take the risk to my girl as serious as it is. If you breed, no matter the size or health you are risking losing your precious family member. Can you take that risk? |
i am so sorry about your baby girl. but thank you so much for sharing your experience. when i was asking for advice about possibly breeding my baby milu, it was also other breeders' sad experiences that really helped me put things in perspective and understand what i would be risking if i decided to breed milu.
i think it's important for people to understand what they are getting themselves into, and what risks there are. that way they can make a informed decision and not take breeding dogs lightly.
