TigerLily! THANK YOU!
That was very well put.
If I was going to breed yorkies - I F - I would beg one of these great breeders here to let me be an apprentice. Then and ONLY then would I even attempt it and then only under their guidance. There are just too many things to consider and no one should do it without all the facts and information they need. Oh, and a big wad of cash.
I would love to have another little yorkie like Adie and maybe breeding her would have produced a little duplicate but instead I got her brother. Same mother totally different dogs. LOL.
Another point I want to make is that the size of the litter doesn't always meet the economical demands. Shots vet bills etc. The there are the emergencies. What happens if the bitch only has one or two puppies? My Gracie was used as a breeder and never successfully raised an entire litter. Only one puppy would survive out of two being born. (Adie and then Skeeter) The breeder didn't want her any more because she wasn't making any money on her. Cold huh? Well now I have her little stud and she is out of business! Yeah.
I know I am rambling and I apologize to the group. I just get riled up and talkative I guess. |
