I have always been a fan of spaying/neutering when it comes to my pets, but due to all of the health risks with an unplanned breeding of a yorkie, I think it's even more important to spay these little ones if you aren't a reputable breeder who's planning on breeding.. If a yorkie is too small to breed, there can be issues. If it accidentally gets bred to a dog too big(which really doesn't take much), there can be issues.
I haven't been on here too long, but I've been on here long enough to see plenty of unplanned pregnancies by people who have chosen not to spay their pets, yet had no intentions of breeding them. I wouldn't consider most of these people irresponsible pet owners. They were owners who made a mistake or took their eyes off their pup for one quick second and it happened and they, and their dogs ended up paying the price for it.
IMO, unless you are prepared to take responsibility and deal with an unplanned pregnancy, which can not only be dangerous and life threatening for your dog, but also very financially draining, it's best to spay your little girl so there's not even a remote possibility of an "oopsies" happening. |
