 breeding
Can I ask why you're wanting to breed? I'm not sure if you know this, so I'm not trying to offend you. I just wanted to let you know that alot of dogs sold at the petstore tend to be the "pet quality" or in other words don't go towards the standard, that is how they end up there. Just last week I saw one in a pet shop window that had legs so long it reminded me of a black lab. Maybe you could find a mentor so you could find out if she would be good for breeding?
I would just advise you to weigh all of the risks and look up lots of information on breeding. Try to see the whole picture. Breeding is a full time job. A 24 hour job that if done right people rarely make money on. I think they say that a dog has to have 12 puppies in order to just break even. Well, we all know that yorkies have small litters. Just make sure you have the money to put into it like for an emergency c-section, special food, other supplies for welping such as an x-pen, blankets, puppy pads, toys, nutri-cal, shots, vet checks worming, etc. And if you work, be prepared to take a couple days off and lose some sleep. Oh, and look up the puppy lemon laws and such in your state.
I agree that people would not pay as much for a puppy that is not AKC registered. What ever you choose to do, it is your choice. Good luck! *Cher hugs her trashy pug* |
