Yes! Finally sitting down at my computer so I can reply. :P
Okay because I'm behind on replies, I'm gonna make this easy on myself, everyone who strictly gave advice, thank you so much, whether it was the scary but truthful stuff, or the good resources stuff! All great input. Now, for those that asked me questions I'll try to answer them all! Here we go...
@Tcarnagie: Why would anyone want to breed their yorkie if that's your question... right? I really do love her, and that's why I am asking all of these questions and getting info NOW while I still have a year and a half before I'd even breed her or start looking to. And after a lot of these posts, I definitely don't know if I could bare to lose her, although I will be saving money up for this if I decide to do it, and if not well then LOTS of money for me and her to go shopping on haha!... although at this point I'm at about 70% not going to just because I would hate hate hate to lose her, she's only been here 5 days and I'm seriously in love with her!
And thanks for the mentoring idea, lots have people have mentioned that, I definitely would NOT do it on my own. I've birthed German Shorthair's with my uncle as he used to breed registered/ great hunting lines, but those are a lot diff. type of dog haha.
@FLDebra I'm not sure why she is not registered... a lot of puppies are sold like that in Alberta... the ad will read "CKC [or AKC] registered parents with parents and papers on site, pups not registered" Some people will even not register the pups with the option for you to pay extra for them to register... I'm not really sure why she isn't. If her parents are does that mean I should be able to register her myself? Does it really cost that much that people wouldn't do it unless the buyer pays for it?
She was seven pounds when I brought her home, I took her into the vet for a weigh and for a diet plan from the vet as she didn't come with food or a meal plan, just her vet papers with all her info from Aug-Dec. He said she could stand to loose a pound. So I have her on a meal plan, once at 7 or 8am and again at 5 or 6pm She's at about 6.45 right now. I believe her bowl was just kept full at her old home and that she scarfed it every time. We'll see what happens in the months to come! If she does mature over 7lbs even if her parents are registered does that mean she can't be? As far as her body goes you can look at my album and I have some full body shots of her
My previous dogs "history":
I got my first dog when I was about 9 or 10, I brought him home from a guy that was giving away puppies outside of the school haha... yes he gave me a little 9/10 yr old a small 8 week old puppy no problem no questions lol. He was a HUGE black lab I loved him so much but he was stolen from our yard during that summer
My second dog was when I was 16, a boyfriend surprised me with a chuggle, Guapo, from his aunt's litter [longhairedchiXpuggle] a year later he ran out my front door when my brother was watching him, he ran across the street to greet a walker and a car hit him, at 17 I spent my savings to save him even when the vet said less than 50% chance of survival, he indeed died.
And then three years ago I got two brothers from a Beagle/Maltese litter, Charlie and Snoopy and when I got married I had to leave them with my family as they were too big for out apartment and had become family dogs, not just mine, and my parents divoriced this past July [week before my wedding] so they are with my dad. Still love those guys!
And now there's Pooter, a rescue I received this past October and he's been so much work and such a great little guy, he went from knowing nothing and in three weeks I had him doing sit, paw, down, up, dance, highfive, and BANG! him and Tikka are just in love with eachother... in a good way. He's neutered and doesn't even know what to do with a girl. But she licks his face and he loves wrestling her.
All of those dogs were paid for and taken care of by my, even at 9 when I obviously couldn't work... my parents paid for the food and treats, but I had to walk/feed/water/excersize him. Same with Guapo, and Charlie and Snoopy... even tho those two were more family bets I had to pay for the food, toys, treats, etc because I was the one that wanted them. I did learn from Guapo NEVER leave my dogs with someone not used to treating a dog like a child... he was also a one of kind little guy.
@Gemy I guess I'm confused as to why she isn't registered now too... although I wasn't at first because a lot of dogs are sold non registered from two registered parents up here.
But I am trying to get a hold of the family I bought her from so I can get a hold of the breeder to 1. let her know I bought the dog. 2. make sure the previous owner didn't fail to tell me about a spay contract and 3. to find out about her parents/family/registration
Also, I'm a stay at home wife, I am a photographer, but that only keeps me away for maybe an hour a day 2-3 times a week... so I'm home 99% of the time as far as taking time off for a litter. Lol but at this point... I'm leaning more towards no. She is just the perfect little girl for me, the complete opposite of Pooter, although he is amazing too. She is such a cuddler/attention seeker and loooves to play and sleep with me.... if I lost her... I'd be devestated.
And there is your novel everyone haha! I'll try to stay on top of the replies better
