I bet I would have hadalot of different reponses had I just talked about the one pup that passed away this moring. Would have been a whole different conversation.
Since as you stated above you do not plan to spay or neuter this becomes of utmost importance in adding to the Yorkie world. Not making assumptions about your Yorkies so I will just ask outright.

Where did you acquire them from and what are their breeding lines like?

Do you have rights for breeding?
Many dogs are sold on limited registration that does not allow breeding. Reputable breeders do not sell on open registration.

Are the AKC registered?

Do you have contact with the breeder?
You might want to turn to the breeder that sold you your pair for further assistance with breeding. Having a mentor would have eliminated most of the tragedy that occurred.

Do you know about the health and background of your Yorkies?

These are both very important questions that you need to address prior to breeding her/him again. Once again, you can find this information from the breeder that you purchased from.

I am assuming from your previous posts as well that you are the owner of both the male and female. Have they both been tested for LS in the very least? I'm not even sure of all of the other testing that a reputable breeder does prior to breeding but there is a long list of tests that breeders give prior to mating their dogs.

Are you aware of the genetics involved with breeding? Many of the breeders here do extensive testing to help to ensure quality and healthy puppies that they produce.


How old is your little one and how much does she weigh? This is also something that needs to be taken into consideration prior to another litter of puppies.
