Hi.
I have a female I would love to breed. She's AKC registered and her pedigree has champions all over it. She's a good representative of the breed, carries herself well, moves like oil on water, has personality plus, no health issues, and is a total love bug. On walks, she'll stop and 'point' at squirrels (hysterical), she loves the outdoors, and wants to be with me constantly, until she sees another squirrel.
Tried to find a stud for her. The ones I liked, the owners would not risk breeding their dog to a dog they don't know. Never got past a phone call. In the meantime, I decided that I love her too much to lose her, and that I was being selfish wanting to bring more puppies into the world, even if they did have her traits. There's way too many needing homes already.
I own 3 other dogs, two Yorkies and a Biewer. They each have different, but super personalities. I have come to the conclusion that all Yorkies have great personalities, it takes a good owner to bring it out in some though, as some are tougher than others... they all have their little quirks.
I am a retired Vet tech, and I don't think I would have too much difficulty with whelping a litter and caring for the pups, and I've worked with vets on too many C-sections.
I just cannot bring myself to put this little girl through this, it would rip my heart out if something happened to her and she would die. I could never forgive myself. So I have resigned myself to looking at the breeders and showdogs here on YT, and watching their pups grow up.
Sorry I responded, I am not an experienced breeder, but an experienced wanna-be breeder. I hope hearing my story helps you to make a decision. Good Luck. |
