I can not believe you do not think that breeding, pregnancy, and whelping is not hard on a female. That is very false it is hard on there bodies and it does hurt. I am guessing you have not had a baby and I suggest you do to know the pain and that it is there. This is another reason I think to many people are breeding because they absolutely do not think about the female dog and the pain and stuff. If you breed a female under 5 pounds it also becomes extremely risky and that's a fact too. I am sorry you didn't look at both sides before breeding and that it went great for you but its not necessarily like that in the real world to every one. Yorkies are not dogs of the wild they are very far from wild dogs we made the breed and the breed has to have help doing certain things like whelping maybe some might make it on there own but a lot would not and a lot would die. I don't think you are comprehending that millions are being put to sleep yearly over here not just a few a million dogs who never asked to be brought into this world and who never asked to be unloved and die alone. There are also millions of dogs being breed for just the heck of it or just for money that are sick and suffer and most of the time die. I'm guessing Spain does not have greedy people but we do and most of them breed yorkies or other high priced breeds and then sell them all for the money never caring about the dog or the puppies. There is a way to start breeding the right way you get a mentor and learn from them and eventually they will trust you enough to let you breed with there help one of there dogs from there lines that are healthy and lacking in genetic illness. That is how you start. We have many many posts of people asking if there yorkie looks like a pure yorkie if people stopped breeding sick and unhealthy yorkies or just yorkies who look nothing like a yorkie then this would not happen as much. If you are determined to breed your dog anyway you should do health testing available, you should know the lines of your dogs to know if they have genetic illness. If every one who bred a dog took responsibility for the puppies THEY made it might not be so much of an issue but they don't and they are not willing to pay for the genetic illness that pop up two years down the line that cost thousands of dollars that most people can't afford so they have to give there dog up to either a rescue or they just take it to the pound. Breeding is dangerous and you ALWAYS have the chance of losing your dog and or the puppies not every one is lucky. Please take time to read the sick and injured section about the puppies who where to young to leave there mom and be sold but they where and many have died and many have survived but had the breeder been better that would not have happened. Read the story's about the young puppies who had many issues non health related but due to bad breeders not keeping them long enough. I speak and post for the dogs not for other people so yeah maybe sometimes my posts are harsh because it is ALWAYS about the dogs to me and there are many people like that here.

I actually have 3 children (16, 14 and 5 years old) Was it hard on me? Yes.Pregnancy is! But our bodies are made to do it and made to handle it, that is just the way it is.Females (of all species) breed and procreate and whilst there are always risks, its what we are designed to do and it´s how we keep the world populated.

How do you know I did not look at both sides of breeding? You are seriously implying that I do not care for my dog? Milo and Bella are my 5th and 6th yorkies and I have been researching breeding for over 8 years (with a mentor), and the reason I didnt do it before is because I didnt feel that I was ready and because I wanted a the perfect female to do so.Bella was that female.Bellas pups are also going to be staying at home with me.
As usual, you (in general) are asuming

I used a stud that my mentor allowed me to use (free of charge, nothing in return) and although my vet had no idea why she needed it, Bella was tested for a long list of things that I felt was neccesary for my own peace of mind.
Again, you are asuming I did none of the above..this is a mistake made from 90% of the people on this forum.The asumptions.You don´t ask questions, but you are all very quick to judge or roll your eyes and whisper "idiot".

Instead of lashing out with a "I SURE HOPE YOU WILL SPAY YOUR DOG!!" or "Oh no..I am sick of seeing posts like this!", maybe a few questions to get to know the person would be nice...and if the dog is already pregnant, why not just awnser the questions instead of patronising the member to the point where she leaves and never gets the info she may very well need.
Nagging doesnt get people to listen to what you have to say, because once you offend someone, the walls come up and your words go in one ear and out the other.

People who come in here for information do so because they DO care for their dogs.They could just put two dogs together and not give a toss about what happens next, but the majority don´t..they care enough to ask and gather information, even if the breeding has already taken place, and they come here thinking that this is the perfect place for that.
They are looking for advice because they want to do the best possible job they can weather that be at feeding, breeding or just being a regular pet owner.So please stop asuming that when someone comes in here asking about breeding their dog for the first time, that they are lame pet owners who do not care about what happens to their dog and that they don´t care about the breed.
I asure you that you wont find puppymillers on here asking questions about breeding, so why treat everyone as if they are? Yes, it´s always about the dogs, that is why people come here.
