all the information has been great, i DOUBT i will ever get the chance to breed him. but my thought is that i have a young child who would not do well around a 3-4lbs dog, but i love yorkies..so i think that to have a larger yorkie is benefical to people that have famlies, no they are not standard by paper, but if the only thing wrong with them is size then that might be want some people want. i dont think that people should be limited to there dreams, mine being: to have yorkies. but i think if you are serious and you are showing and breeding for show, well thats what you should look for. but home and pet quality show also be bred in my opinion becuase like i said i would never have a tiny yorkie that my kid could accidently hurt, and i wouldnt want to lock either of them up so i could spend time with one or the other. i do have little girl who is 5.5lbs but i think she is too frail for my son to play with.
i know that i didnt get Remmie from a good breeder now, i also know that she was probably a broker. and i know he isnt perfect but i really want to see what he will look like full grown, the vet also set he had a lot of "puppy fat" (i dont know if i should put any stock in to that comment......lol) but i hope he is right. i was also told that remmie was done growing height wise because he is still smaller than my 5.5 pounder. and has been the same height for a long time now.
the lady was i thinking of breeding with is not the same person i got remmie from. she breeds standard and she breeds for people who want yorkies but have children, which again i think is good thing.
and a serious question, i am generaly curious as to WHY the male must be smaller? i understand that it probably keeps the puppies smaller, but i cant see how it would affect the female and the puppies being born, BECAUSE i do vol. rescue work and we have had smaller females that are pregnant by larger males and the 2 decades that i have been around this group, and i called and confirmed before posting have never had problem with the females giving birth to larger bred puppies. they have never needed c-section, now along with that i have heard of SOME females needing c-section for reg size puppies. so i just think thats the real factor. i think it is mainly to keep the size down, is that correct?
please i am not being condacening (spelling?) and i am generally curious and just what honest anwsers i am not trying to fluff feathers at all, because i really truly enjoy YT and i am on YT everyday and every night, and i appreciate everyones concerns and comments when posting.
please, please i am not trying to offend anyone or have anyone offend me!!!
Thank you everyone for your time on this issue. |
