I did it for bloodline - I want her daughter I have never had such a wonderful relationship with a dog and I wanted to extend the joy - However Yorkies act like babies their whole life. I never factored her age - she is 6 years old and that is 44 by size and I regret my ignorance. The Vet was more concerned with her mate who was 5lbs or slightly less and I have taken her to the VET every 2 weeks and Friday we will Xray for the babies - I pray my baby will be okay!!! but if your baby is less than 5lbs- The expert breeders will make you sign a commitment NOT to breed due to the danger of their size...I paid 2800 plus plane fare for my girl and she was intended to be less than 5lbs - The Vet verified 2 years ago that she was safe to breed I just should have made this decisions 2 years ago so NOW I am a nervous wreck!!! |
I really hope your baby and pups will be ok...keep us posted...
