I don't understand why you can't spay. Even though you obtain a breeding girl, the final decision on when to breed her is yours. The contract/registration gives you the option to breed, and usually doesn't mandate that you breed. |
Thanks for replying I know you are well versed in breeding. So here's the story behind how I got my baby girl. I had been searching for a chocolate yorkie (not to breed just to have) for about 3 years. I stumbled upon Ella a few times but only saw baby pictures so I figured if it was meant to be she'd be available in a month or two. And sure enough she was. Well long story short, I convinced the breeder to let me have her at a lowered price (MUCH lower than even her pet asking price) but I had to promise to responsibly breed her. At this point I'd be happy with fixing her, no papers or anything (since she is a biro/chocolate biewer I can't do anything show wise anyways. But the problem is that had not given the breeder a dime towards the puppy in 4months. So I feel guilty for asking her if we can terminate part of our agreement. Should I just pay her more for the pet price? She is an amazingly trusting WONDERFUL lady. She works with another lady and they breed biewers and other animals. They each own their own farm, it is gorgeous there (that's coming from a city girl).
When should I expect the swelling to go down? I felt her nipples today (I was just rubbing her belly when I noticed ...) some of the nipples were hardish mass in them. Is this normal? I feel so nervous. I've kept the boys as separate as I can. I NEVER leave them by themselves (always crated when I'm gone, not in the room someone boys or girl are crated). I have NEVER seen them tie.
