Ellie -- look your girl in the eye as you think of this -- Many, many, many more dams are lost in inexperienced childbirth than they are in the vet's office being spayed. Do you really want to do that to her? The people you got her from think maybe she got with the male yorkie -- but what if it wasn't the yorkie or if it was the yorkie and ALSO a neighbor dog or two. If one of those was on the large side, those puppies could grow too big for her to have. Stand by for a C-section $$$$ and much danger to the girl. Also -- you can NOT ethically register the puppies if you did not see the mating and know it was the only one. Spay and enjoy your new puppy! I loved what Elle said -- let her be a Princess! |
