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. |
There is no such thing as a "pet" standard. The standard is the standard for all to consider, whether or not they want to breed to the standard.
I don't know where you got that idea; but it is incorrect that there is a pet "standard" and a show standard. Is the show standard with-out fault of course not.
But have you done the genetic testing - breed specific for the Yorkshire Terrier"?? BATS, LP, HD, PRA. to name just a few tests that should be done prior to breeding your bitch.
In fact I would agitate for a "Standard" that requries passes on all the above prior to having a Championship issued. As well as a pass on Temperament testing.
