If I'm not mistaken you were helping me in my thread for advice when my Sabrina was going into labor the other night. I have to say that before Sabrina got pregnant (was not intended) I was going to purchase a standard size yorkie because I wanted to do some hobby breeding, maybe 1 litter every two years or so, but when Sabrina got pregnant all of that changed. I've never been so nervous in my life, I have to say that when Sabrina was in her last week of labor I didn't get any sleep maybe 5 hours of sleep throughout the whole week, and now that the baby's are here I haven't been getting any sleep, there is still alot of things to worry about and take care of. I never thought breeding could be this expensive, Sabrina needed a c-section $3500, in 2 more days the babies go to have there dew claws removed and there tails docked there are three babies $65 each baby for the removal of dew claws and tails docked $195, they get there first shots $41 dollars each puppy $123, not to mention the extra food supply for Sabrina, the Esbilac milk for the babies and all of the other things I've spent money on for this litter, all together I am so far in to the $4000 range and there is still a long way to go, I don't even think once my babies are big enough that I will make even half of my money back, I think you might want to really think twice before breeding I've definitely changed my mind, plus my nerves are no good for it. On top of all of that I'm find myself getting attached to babies I no I cannot keep and I know it's going to be hard to get rid of them because I refuse to give my babies to just anybody regardless to how much money they have, so that can become a big problem for me, who knows what I will do, probably keep them in the end.
