I know I am still new to this site and Yorkies in general. You all have really good strong points but in reviewing some of Marlene's post she did state that Lexi's line threw big litters. It was a post where a fellow YT member was looking for a blonde. I've personally talked with Marlene on the phone and i was very comfortable about the information about the pups and their parents. Now just in general i thought was rule of thumb was not to breed until their second heat.. but there is no guarantee anywhere that there is to be a difference in one heat to the next. The only thing is the pup maybe to young. I think its up to the breeder and her vet if Lexi was in good standing/form to be able to breed. Now I have a son whois 7 months and he was born w/ a minor VSP and PFO in other words one of his valves was open and the blood flow was going the opposite way. The only long term issues if it was to cause a problem is he may have weight issues or feeding issues and would need to have medication to help. Now at 7mos they can no longer hear his heart murmur. In babies/puppies if the murmur is minor enough there are good chances they can close on their own within the first 6 months to a year. Anything after a year you would definately have it reevaluated or unless problems occur before hand. Now my son's murmur has closed on its own and you can no longer hear it. I will not have a second opinion taken unless he starts having issues in other areas that gives a sign there is still something open. This is standard w/ babies and murmurs.. Yes you can have a second opinion and when i was recently at the local ER the nurses and the Dr's treating my son could not hear his murmur and he had normal sinus rythm. You also need to understand that Marlene is a first time breeder.. You learn by trial and error. She is also a newly mother herself w/ a newborn just a few weeks old. How much harder is everyone going to be on her. I have learned a lot from this site in the last few weeks and will continue to learn. That is what we are all here for right?? Please remember its a learning experience not a war bashing hate.

Default Blonde female
Hi there I have what I would consider a Blonde. She just had her first little on 12/5/06. She had a total of 6 puppies...unfortunetly two didn't make it.
The breeder I bought her from told me that all females from her line tend to give out a big litter. If you are interested let me know if not I understand good luck on your search.
