I saw a beautiful little girl last night with a pedigree from Ozmilion (Osman Sameja), who bred the outright champion at Crufts in '97. The Lady breeder had 3 beautiful girls and two 6 week old gems. She knows Sameja and his Dog was the stud. Home conditions were absolutely spotless and the pups reflected all the very obvious love and attention they were getting.
The little girl I saw weighed 2lbs at 6 weeks, so she should come out just over 6lbs, fully grown? That said she could eat for the world, much to her brother's chagrin! The mum was 6lbs and had beautiful slender lines and a rich lissom coat.
Are pups safe to go at 10 weeks? - I thought 12 was the safe minimum. My late wife bred Burmese cats and the kittens normally went at 10 weeks plus as the Moms got fed up with them by then normally and they were right handfuls to control - especially one litter of 7 I remember. I also have a friend who breeds miniature Doxies and they have a litter of three at the moment too, so I'm off a bit later to see them as well. I'm a bit worried here about PRA, a condition Doxies are especially prevalent too, but I've not heard of Yorkies suffering from this genital disorder inheritance? |
