With my first yorkie, I initially regreted having her spayed, because I ignorantly thought maybe I should have bred her so I could have had another yorkie or two. Then, at about 2 years of age she showed signs of having a collapsing trachea. I worked like crazy with behavior modification training, so that she wouldn't get over-excited...like when the doorbell rang, or people came over and exercised her daily & kept her at a lean weight, so that her breathing problems were minimized. After seeing her gasping for breath even one time, I was SO glad I'd spayed her and not bred her.
Now, I'm a firm believer in spaying/neutering pets and leaving the breeding to those qualified to do so.
