I made the comment about no defense of replies because I'd rather than other threads Where are other breeders would put the original poster down and make him look like an idiot When all he had was a simple question. It was obvious the original poster did not know the 500 answers to the Breeders 500 questions so why even reply?
I think the point of my regional question was mis read. Let's not get breeding standards and pet standards confused. Correct me if I'm wrong. Show standard states that yorkie should not be no more than 7 pounds. Hey Yorkshire should not be no more than 10 pounds not for show. We should never breed a female under 5.
Let's not forget that AKC and all the other organizations are based for show not pet breeds. You can have to show quality dogs and still have offsprings that do not me show standards. The Off spring could have more health problems than any other puppy. I thought the point was to improve the nreed.
The original question was if it was safe because of her being almost nine pounds. This is pet not show.
The point is to carry on her legacy. She is akc and I do have her pedigree.
If you must know why I want to do this well here you go.
She is my ex wife's dog. My wife loves her very much she is smart and intelligent. She is everything a dog could be very playful and happy lovable just gorgeous. She is in very good health. My wife loves this dog very much. My wife has passed. She was killed in a car accident by drunk driver. My Molly is all I have left of her. Molly could die tomorrow. Getting another puppy to satisfy me is not the option or the point. |
I have never read that a Yorkie should not exceed 10 pounds and I have read a lot about Yorkies so I would like to know where you got that info? Breeding is to better the breed and that means only excellent examples of the breed should be bred and if its an excellent example of the breed then it follows all the rules of a show Yorkie. She could also die giving birth and lose all the puppies as well then your left with nothing. I doubt your wife would have wanted you to risk her life. Just because a dog is a certain way and has a certain attitude does not mean the pups will too. We had our first dog she was a lab mix and my best friend we never bred her but eventually we got a beagle mix pup who she taught the pup a lot of her mannerisms and things she did and when he was 2 she had to be put down and the beagle mix carried her mannerisms for life and even taught my moms rescue Yorkie she got a few years ago some of the same things and when he had to be put down because of cancer it's still like having a little piece of all of them in this rescue yorkie. No dog will ever be the same as another and will never carry the same memories as another. They are all so different and that's what's so great about them. Please think about fixing your girl and then getting her a friend or brother or sister. I am very sorry about your wife.
