Hey guys...
Been there! I decided to breed Chloe for several reasons:
1)she is a big girl (3 kg or almost 10 pounds)
2) selling her puppies will cover some (most) of the expenses that I have incured feeding and caring for her, which no matter how you look at it, helps.
3) i wanted to experience the thrill of having little puppies ( I bought Chloe at 11 mos. and missed so much!)
4) I wanted another yorkie and what better than the daughter of my beloved Chloe?
5) there is a great demand in Israel.
But I have gotten so much great advice and help from yorkietalk from breeders and just mothers like me...and they are 14 days old and I really haven't slept very well since...so good luck in whatever you decide, but you have alot of time to think about it, (if Chloe was a real 'mini'-under 5 lbs, I don't think I would have bred her, too dangerous and things can go wrong-we had a vet on call 24 hours when Chloe started labour) and we bred her at 3 years old. |
