We have a nice healthy male dog that weights right at 3 lbs. I have been told finding a smaller male is important. We do not know what the usual fashion is though as for the "stud fee". they may want pick of the liter which is fine, as long as she has more than 1 - if she only has one it is for my daughter. How do we work this out? D we say pick unless there's only one and then we give you $? If so, how much? I'd appreciate any and all info/advice you can give. Thanks.  |
If you have a reputable breeder that you purchased this pair from my suggestion would be to refer back to her. If you are not able to do this them I would say that it would not be a wise decision to even consider breeding. I am wondering where/who you purchased both your female and male from? Do you know their background and lines? Regardless of their size it is very important to know the background of your dogs prior to even considering to breed. Are there any health issues in their background such as LP, shunts, defects~these are all questions that need to be thought about prior to breeding? What happens if your little girl needs assistance during the birth or even a c-section are you going to be prepared to birth (whelp) a litter of puppies? Are you prepared for large vet bills if a csection is needed? Are you prepared to become a surrogate mother if something were to happen and the mom refused to nurse or god forbid died?
After contemplating all of this are you willing to take a risk to give your daughter a puppy. It would be much less risky to have them both spayed/neutered and purchase a new puppy from a very experienced reputable breeder that you can find right here on YT. There are WAY too many complications that can arise when a novice like yourself decides to breed tiny dogs like Yorkies to give a puppy to a family member.
There was a post just last week about this happening and it was a very sad and upsetting outcome.
