[Yorkiemom1]

The ONLY question you should be asking yourself prior to breeding your "precious" little female...."Do I want a litter of puppies from this female so desperately I am willing to sacrifice her life to get it." Her life is on the chopping block everytime you choose to breed a female. Unless you have a wonderful example of what a Yorkie is supposed to be, a fine example of the breed standard, unless you are COMPETENT in ALL aspects of breeding and whelping and emergent care of orphaned puppies, unless you will be at the very least, maintaining the breed standard with producing this litter, unlessw you have done the genetic testing of both dam and sire and are confident thru testing each dog is free from genetic diseases that you would be responsible for inflicting on a litter of puppies (plus the massive heartache and expense you will be passing along to eager, unsuspecting, unprepared new owners), unless you are confident in your thorough knowledge of both dog's pedigrees going back at least 12 generations......you don't need to even be considering doing this. Breeding is a crap shoot under all circumstances and should never be entered into without extensive knowledge in order to get it right....that is the very least you can do for the babies produced, the female that has NO voice in the breeding and depends entirely on YOU to keep her and her babies safe, and the people that buy these babies from you.
