I'm not a breeder, but just someone who has been reading the threads at Yorkietalk for several years, I can tell you I have read so many stories of heartbreak, even experienced breeders often run into difficulties, but when this happens to someone who really hasn't researched the subject thoroughly, they tend to blame themselves for the loss of the mother or puppies. If you lose your beloved dog, and know it was your fault because you have not researched thoroughly, the pain is often unbearable. So many experienced breeders say they are scared every single time they breed, and this should tell you to not take the breeding lightly. If you decide to breed your little girl, it's very important to read everything you can on the subject. You have to be prepared for all emergencies. She is depending on you to make her decisions wisely. I agree with the others, don't breed a dog under 5 pounds, she could be the smallest of a line, and her puppies could be huge, and too big for her to deliver, that's why experienced breeders study the line, on all sides. Best of luck. |
