that is bad, but not the end of the world. Show breeders do it all the time, they call it line breeding. If done right way, it can bring out the best in a line, but it can also bring out the bad. But it happens. But you never know what will come out of it. Long story short, when I 1st started breeding Maltese & Yorkies I started with 1 female of each and was useing others studs. After about 2 years I had become very good friends with the Yorkie studs owner. She had kept to many of her yorkie babies and her husband told her she had to down size, she called and wanted me to take one that loves kids and she did not have kids. She knew holly would love it here with my kids and she was right. She told me that she was breed and we would slit the litter. About 2 weeks later she come in heat, she had gotten missed up some how. I called her to see and she said she thought she had mated her to the stud I had been useing for my yorkie but had not, then she ask if I would her to bring the stud over. I told her I would meet her to pick him up. At this time I had Holly's AKC papers but had never look at them. I know not a good thing, after I breed her I went looking at the papers to find the stud I used was her daddy. I could not belive it. I could not belive she had forgot who her dad was. I call her and she said she thought the other male was her daddy. I told her that is not what is on the paper work. She get back looking at her paper work when the mom was breed and sure enough it was the same stud. She had 3 puppies 2 girls and 1 male. We lost the male the 2nd day he was the smallest I had ever seen. One puppy ended up being 6.5lbs and then there is Keylee, I kept her because she was growing to slow. She is a year old under a pound, and only 5" tall. So take is what can happen. I can never leave keylee over so many hours or her sugar can go low if she does not eat good. So good luck, maybe everything will work out. I am sure it will. |
