Hey everyone...kind of a specific question here. I see some people post flyers around saying "I specialize in dog breeding -- check out my poodles, yorkies, yorkie-poos, shih tzus, maltese, and pugs!" And everyone, especially me, shake their heads in sadness at that!!!
however, i have a female yorkie that i plan on not getting fixed (shes only 6 months old now) in CASE i choose to breed her in life. Please do not preach to me about this, or try to talk me out of it. I'll tell you that i LOVE raising animals, i've raised things from kittens to deer. I understand the goal in improving the breed. I would never breed any animal with genetic defaults! My yorkie does not have a champion bloodline and she's not even registered with the AKC! (she is with DRA). But i love her, and enjoy the hobby of raising animals for PETS. Obviously, you won't have to sell your kidney to get a puppy from me. That doesn't mean i'm going to cut corners and "do the shots myself" or attempt to sell them as show dogs. Making a profit should NEVER be the goal.
Anywho, i've done my research THOUROUGHLY and don't intend to stop learning more everyday about yorkies, the breed standard, breeding, and puppy care.
I ALSO have a BEAUTIFUL male Chinese Crested. I bought him as mostly a playmate for Asia while i was at work., and intending on neutering as soon as he is of age. The more books i bought on the cresteds, the more i fell in LOVE with the breed! The puppies are more diverse than anything i;ve ever seen. I'm CONSIDERING buying a female crested and raising cresteds as well.
Breeding both will take a LOT of time and effort. I may have to cut back work hours to donate my time to ensuring quality home-raised puppies. I'm not saying i'm going to pump out those puppies -- Asia and Rooney are my furbabies! (well, Rooney is a hairless, so he has NO hair!
)
Ahhh to make a short story long, my point is:
how do i prevent getting ChineseYorkies?? Is there anyone else out there that breeds two different breeds of dogs? I know there are a lot of ways to do it...plan the bitches seasons, kennel the males....any tricks, suggestions, comments???
