Can I just add something to what these very knowledgeable and experienced members have already said? Breeding to give your daughter a free puppy isn't really a great reason and here is why. Many breeders tell you that they are out money or break even when having a litter. There are so many variables to doing it right and safely and if you aren't a pro your baby could get into trouble before your head can spin. It might sound cheaper in theory than spending money on a puppy but as someone who just had an "oops" pregnancy before I found YT and just spent $1600 on a c-section they had the potential to be very dangerous I can assure you this is not the cheaper way to go in acquiring a puppy! And then once the puppies are born there is the added expense of not just one puppy having all the vet visits, shots, tail docking etc but however many you have in the litter! Why not leave it to the professionals, keep your baby safe and when your daughter is ready find a good and knowledgeable breeder to buy her puppy from? Along with the money, yorkie pups require round the clock care 24/7. It's a full time job! There are jugs easier and more inexpensive ways of acquiring a puppy than putting your baby through a litter and spending a ton of time and money in the process! I just Want to spare you from experiencing what I had to go through because I didn't have knowledgeable people like the ones who have commented above helping me make the right decision. Also just an FYI...my Paris went into heat at 7 months and showed no visible signs and while I understand that is early for most yorkies to go into heat and not the norm I am living proof it can happen and she got pregnant from one oops tying! Just be careful and get someone fixed pronto! U won't be sorry you did it! If there are any other questions I can answer about what happened to me I'd be glad to chat with you! Good luck! Have a great night! |
