If this is something you want to do, just know that there are all of the same risks in having puppies as there are with having a baby yourself. (I'm sure you know that.) Sadly, as much as I want to love this forum because I am a yorkie lover and keep trying to find the good posts, I've not seen much "love" to new comers with different wants/views.  Stick to the "fluff" posts about clothing and potty training. |
The point many of us are trying to make in this thread is that the risks are much higher for the dog than they are for most humans.
In addition, the majority of humans in the US have costly professional medical care during delivery and for the baby/babies.
Sorry if this is not what the original poster is looking for, but it would be irresponsible and untrue to tell her that breeding Yorkies is a lovely experience. Almost every single breeder/exhibitor who has posted in this forum in the years that I have been reading has written that whelping is their least favorite thing to do.
