I would spare no money on my pups health. Whatever money was needed to keep them in good health would be no problem. I'm not going to do this for a profit, just for the experience. I would like to become a great breeder one day. I love YT for having so many experienced yorkie lovers on here. I especially respect YorkieRose (Pat). She is so knowledgable. Thanks for the information. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! |
Did your Vet give you an idea of when to breed her?
I am asking this cause if he didn't suggest waiting till atleast 18 months, I would question him/her. In my experience most Vets specialize in big breeds than toys. Toys are a specialty all their own.
There was a thread about a few weeks back about breeding.
I think Snow yorkie was the one, anyways she commented about breeding and risks, preferred size etc. If I find it I;ll PM you
Check out the Breeder talk Forum it may be there.
There is alot of good advice from all the breeders that participate.
I do not want to sound stern, but last Sept I almost lost my Lily during whelping. She is 6lb 7 oz and her pup who was stuck in the birth canal was only 4oz. She had to have an emergency C-Section .
I almost lost Lily and her 3 pups, that is how serious it was.
