Well okay, I am not afraid to answer..just kind of wanted others responses, as this wasn't about me, LOL..but here goes..
1. . Why did you choose to breed the bitch?
In each of the 3 litters I've had born, I have bred the bitch in hopes of a show prospect for myself.
2. How did you choose the male you bred her to? Looks, size, pedigree, etc?
Pedigree, working with lines I want to bring into what will eventually be my own, and picking the particular male to most compliment the particular bitch, while reducing the faults I want to eliminate.
3. What registry is your bitch, and sire registered with?
AKC Only
4. What is your intentions in breeding? As in: 1. Show prospects 2. Pet puppies 3. supplemental income 4. For the heck of it, etc. etc.
At this point I have only bred a litter in hopes of something for myself to either SHOW, or produce something that will be able to be brought back into the lines I'm working with to themselves produce something for my show "habit"..lol
5. What characteristics of both male and female did you hope to produce with your litter?
Well without going into detail about each litter I've bred, I guess I'll sum up my ultimate goal.. ultimately I want to produce a dog that is going to give me what I PERSONALLY view as the "perfect dog"..however perfect being always just out of reach, I try to produce sound health, solid balanced structure, color holding thick silk coat w/ good texture, and a pleasing head. Each breeding has worked towards one or more of those goals.
And lastly 6. How many puppies were produced and what sexes, what registries were those pups registered with? 1st litter, 2F, 1M (1 living F,)AKC, 2nd litter, 2M 1F (AKC) and 3rd litter 2 M 1F (1 living M, 1 living F) AKC
The other question I was going to ask was about health screenings in dogs bred, which my answer would be brucellosis, soundness of patellas and overall bone structure, clear heart, strong trachea, and bile acid for LS. Eventually I may incorporate thyroid as well.
So that's my answer!

What about yourself DazzlinYT?
Soemday I perosnally want to breed. But there ar emany thigns for me to do first, learn more! I still have no yorkies in site but I plan to show first. THen breed...many years down the road! But I learn as much as I can.
Why do I want to breed? Well I have two PET yorkies, I love these two like my kids (I have those too..) but they are what I call Super Pet quality, they have so many faults that it drives me crazy. I have looked, gone to shows, and there are very few good quality yorkies. I want to bring that to my part of the country. Plus I love yorkies.... |
