You have already been given good advice. The only thing I add is that unless you have two beautiful, show quality, HEALTHY dogs that meet the YTCA standard for a yorkie (NO MORE THAN 7 LBS.) and your female being 5lb or more is best, then you really have no buiness breeding. It sounds like your female came from a puppy mill or pretty close to it, her mother was prob. bred over and over and over again and suffered a long life in very unhealthy conditions and had to go through many dangerous pregnancies and whelps. Knowing that your baby girl came from something bad like this why would you even consider putting her through breeding?
I know everyone has to learn somewhere. I'm not against the idea of breeding but it has to be done because you want to better the breed and create beautiful dogs, NOT for money and NOT just because you think puppies are fun and cute.
If you are looking to breed a good place to start would be to go to the YTCA website and find a breeder near you. These are veteran breeders tried and true with beautiful walking perfections for the most part. They are the ones I would trust to teach you the right breeding practices. Remember a vet is a family doc. for dogs. NOT a breeding specialist and not the OBGYN. They don't know everything, they don't even claim to know everything, and for something like breeding all they can tell you is that the dog isn't sick at the moment so yes it can reproduce. That doesn't tell you it's entire lineage, it's entire health history, or it's actual chances of producing healthy, standard bred dogs.
Anyways good luck on your research and please spay and neuter your current dogs. Neither dog is a breeder according to standards so please fix them before you have an accident on your hands. |
