Too many things that can go wrong with breeding small dogs like Yorkies. I used to breed Lhasas, so I know about breeding, and whelping puppies. But no way in Hades would I ever attempt to breed Yorkies or any other toy breeds. Breeding Lhasas was problematic at times.
Like humans, no two pregnancies and births are the same.
You have to be prepared for everything. The life of the mother and puppies are in your hands.
With all this, you honestly believe you are going to be able to give Jorja the attention she needs??? Not to mention the stress all the above is going to add to Jorja's life? |
Gone out and bought another puppy? Perhaps.
Oh, I definitely agree with you on being prepared for everything. You're right that no two pregnancies are the same. And, yes, I realize that the life of Jorja and her pups are in my hands.
And no, with all of "this" going on I do not believe I can give her all the attention she needs. That's why I have the vet and the "mentorship" (if that's what you want to call it) of a friend who has bred and whelped Yorkies in the past. My ideal situation would be to sit and hold her and stroke her all day long. My ideal situation would be to create a calm and quiet whelping area for her. I will do what I can to the best of my ability with the help from the people (IRL) who have agreed to see us through this. The thing is is that it's taking place a few months before we were planning on it.
