I wasted 10 years, then got smart...find a couple tip top bitches and buy champion stud service..you will never regret starting on a solid foundation..have you ever heard the song.."a WISE MAN BUILDS HIS HOUSE UPON THE ROCK"? Well, it holds true for dog breeding also...best wishes
Yeah, I knew that is the case. I've been breeding Dachshunds for 5 years and I already knew the male is suppose to be smaller. The lady I got Gizmo from said he weighed 7 pounds, which would have been O.K., but when I got home and weighed him, he actually weighed 8 1/2. I can eye ball a Dachshund and tell you how much they weigh but the Yorkies are more harder for me to guess the weight because of all the hair. I will have to find another male to breed. You are so right, I got want I paid for. He is a GREAT dog and fits in good, but I can only have 3-4 Yorkies. 3 females and one male. I guess I will have to sell him.
