There is only one baby....and we bred our male soley for the purpose of adding a new member to the family. My daughter who is a sophmore in high school has been asking for a yorkie of her own for a long while. So, in answer to your questions, he is not being sold, but will be brought up and loved by my family. (We only have the one other male) it was never our intension to use either dog for breeding, just as our babies. |
They weren't referring to the pup in this current breeding, the blue born one that you are keeping.
As stated previously, in order for this pup to be blue born, it had to get the gene from both parents, so both your male and this female should be spayed/neutered and not used again for breeding so as not to pass along this gene again.
You also said that your male had been used in a previous breeding. Since your male is now known to be a carrier, the pups in the FIRST breeding will have a 50% chance of inheriting the bad gene from him, so they should not be used for breeding, either. Whoever ended up with those pups needs to know so that they do not breed them and risk passing on this gene.
