I am sorry you are missing my point. So I will try to keep it short point form.
1. I am trying to say, know what you are doing before breeding, know your lines, pedigrees, potential health issues, how to avoid them, be responsible for them if they do occur etc.
2. When you have an intact dog or bitch, behaviour will be different than an altered one. If you are going to keep it intact, you have to be aware of that and know how to manage it. If you own the bitch, you could end up with a neighbours intact male any breed dog or mix, camping on your doorstep while she is in season. Heck years ago a neighbour down the road had an intact chihuahua. New neighbours across the street moved in with an intact male rottweiler, who left huge gouges in their front door when the chi was in season. I don't know what the outcome of that one was, I moved. If you own an intact male you can also have a little escape artist with the potential of getting injured or killed if he gets out of the yard having gotten a whiff of a female somewhere in heat. Plus the territory marking behaviour of either sex.
3. Number of years breeding doesn't mean it is a good breeder, anyone contemplating getting into breeding and working with someone still has to do their homework. I know someone breeding 20+ years and still knows nothing and has sold a lot of health problem puppies and puppies that grew up to not look like Yorkies. And 'helped' a few others get into breeding. Not a good scenario.
That's all I am saying or trying to say do your homework and be aware of the pitfalls not only in breeding but also in managing your intact Yorkie.
Glad you found someone to work with. Hope it works out for you. |
