Some people say CKC will register any dog and they accept breeds such as "yorkiepoos" etc, unlike AKC.
Since you are unsure about breeding let me post sometimething I had replied to someone else on a different website. The part I think you should read the most is in bold. That is what changed my mind about breeding. I just look into Brandy's eyes and I would feel sooo guilty if anything ever happened. I know you love your yorkiebaby too as so many others on this site do. I know it might sound silly, but sometimes I look at her and I wonder what I would do if she were gone. Good luck to you and your little girl.

original post:
I am not selling my dog.

Does anyone have any advice on breeding a dog? I have a toy pomeranian female and I am thinking of breeding her. My other dog (the male) is a chihuahua and
he's fixed.

I don't even know where to start or what kind of things to look out for. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations. I am only looking for advice at this point.

I guess my response to you is another question. Why do you want to breed her? If money is the number one reason, then it's not a very good one. There is alot of money involved in breeding dogs to do it right and you have to know alot about them. First of all, there is no dispute that dogs live longer, happier lives if they are sprayed.
One of the first costs is to get your dog tested for congenital defects. In California, if it is found that you breed anyways and sold a puppy with one such as a hernia, the buyer can sue you for a full refund or keep for 75% refund and getting reimburst for vet bills not exceeding 150% the value of the dog. Breeding dogs is not a huge profit. To break even you would have to have at least 12 puppies and I have news for you, small dogs have small litters. Are you prepared to put your dog's life at risk for your own financial gain? How guilty would you feel rushing her to the emergency room vet at night for a c-section and lose her, all of her pups and still have to pay hundreds in vet bills?
