Hey everyone,
I am in need of some advice. As most of you know I aqquried a male puppy from my mentor to later breed with my bitch. Well he has been growing much faster than either of us expected, at 12 weeks he is nearly 3 lbs. Now this causes a problem because Bridget at 5.5 months is the same size as Xander, which could cause complications later like c section and so on. The vet has estimated that Xander will more than likely be a 6.5-8 lb dog very possibly out of breed standard (problem #2 because we want to show) and Bridget should by 4.5 to 5 lbs fully grown. I guess I would just like some other advice, my mentor strongly suggest selling him and finding a replacement pup. I love him already, but I know that if I keep him he will most likely not be what we needed for showing and breeding. Should I sell him and look for a smaller male? If I keep him and neuter him I am still obligated to replace a female later (not an issue really in my oppinion) It just isnt something I could afford to buy yet another (3rd) yorkie to care for and hope he will be show quality. If I sell him, part of me feels really bad. I do know this was not something we expected, and the whole point was for us to have eventlly 2 show dogs and maybe a breeding pair. Any thoughts?
