Hi, I do not live too far from moncton, where did you get your yorkie? I have two that came from Riverview, only mins from you. There are MANY, MANY, MNAY yorkshire terrier breeders, in New Brunswick, Canada (quite a few even in Moncton). There are very few show breeders, which is true. (I am hoping to add to that number someday).
There is a few problems with breeding your yorkie...health testing is pricey, a lot pricier then you may realize. There are tons of yorkie pups in NB to choose from, what if you cannot sell yours?? DO you know what makes a great yorkie? I can tell you that buyers are getting smarter (hard to believe somedays but true) they want a good quality pup and the proof that it is agood quality pup, not just your word.
What if you cannot sell the pup at your asking price? SO you lower the price..but now you are in the red...are you prepared for that.
I already know the prices of vets in Moncton and a c-section is scary, espeically because it could be an emergency and that is $$$$$.
I groom in Frederciton, and St. Stephen and I see tons of yorkies, all from breeders here in NB and 99% I would NEVER reccommend! Luxatting patellas, nasty temperments, bad coats, roached backs....the list goes on. There are so many people like you who give me their story of how they bred their yorkie, to make cute pupies, a little money, great dogs cause everyone just LOVES their dog...yeah...do you mean that dog with the matted, cottony coat or the one with the thin straggley coat? The wrong coloring? The nasty temper they show other people once their owners are out of sight?
My favorite story is of a client who bred who yorkie, 8 lbs...healthy she said, the vet said it was healthy too...well she passed away a during labor, both pups died too. The lady is distraught and completly confused...actually she was 100% ignorant of the risks or she ignored them.
If you are every interested in talking yorkies give me a shout, I can talk yorkies a blue streak...I actually am starting to know quite a bit (thanks to this wonderful people on this board) and I am still learning.
Give me a shout, I do not want to douse your hope of breeding but in our quiet little province there is a some serious yorkie debates going on, I work and live in the doggy world and hear it all.
