We all know that yorkies are a very risky breed to breed so breeders should be as prepared as possible and use every possible resouce available to them. I know that several breeders on here came forward and said that they use reproductive specialists after I posted about them but not all did. That surprises me but maybe it is a new specialty or something.  |
I did consult a reproductive vet, but I already had her bred- but I did have my regular vet check her out, do all the tests ect- I just felt better having a specialist do an ultrasound, and answer more specific questions....
If most breeders here use a reproductive vet, then why the interest in mine?
I am not going to pm you- no offense but if you did call, they are going to know exactly how you got the information, because I don't think that this is a conversation they have daily- generally people who breed have enough common sense to check out their dogs to make sure they are able to carry and deliver- those that don't, don't care about the dogs are breeding too small of dogs and won't fork out the extra money it costs to have a specialist.
You would benifit more from making an apt with a specialist in your area, to talk to them and get their advice- you can report it here or not, it doesn't matter to me- I believe what I was told, mostly because I do not agree with breeding tinies in the first place, which until this forum I thought no one would do that to begin with....
Make an apt with one in your area- that is my best advice.
Now, just so everyone knows, if I see a post from someone from mn wanting to breed- I will give them the information- the vet here is a great one and highly recomended.
at the same time, I am feeling like it was better when I just stoped in once and awhile and read, and didn't post.... I posted what I was told and feel I should of just kept my mouth shut, I said I would call and see if they would allow me to post their information- they said no (which most people would abide to, if they had a web site I would post it, because that means they want their information out there on the web for anyone to contact them) - which in a way I am glad, because honestly they don't need someone calling with these questions, and possibly arguing why it is fine to breed tinies (that is the feeling I am getting)
If you want your questioned answered socal.... call a vet in your area for a consult- I am sure they would be willing to help you.... I am not willing to. I also put up the number for the place that female vet is from that you keep quoting.
Someone already stated that they don't need a professional to tell them it is wrong, they have their morals and values that already do that... I agree.
