| How should we go about studding out our Yorkie? We have a one year old Yorkie, and we would like to stud him out once or twice before we get him fixed. We're just looking for some advice about how to go about finding a breeder in the San Diego area. Help! |

| Why do you want to stud him out? Most of the time after they become "studs" they are very hard to housebreak and will hike their leg on evrything. Is he breeder quality? Has he been cleared of genetic problems? Do you want to be respnsible for the visiting girl for the week or so that she is at your house being bred? Just a few things to think about. |

| There are alot of things to consider before putting your boy up for stud. Study his pedigree carefully, have him evaluated by an experienced handler or breeder, have genetic, physical, and temperment testing done. Make sure that any pups that he throws will be good examples of the yorkie and will be healthy and happy. It's a big responsibility because of the future impact on the breed. So many pups now days don't even look like yorkies anymore because people just want the money and don't care about the future of the breed, you wouldn't want to add to the problem.

| stud My best advise is to roll up a newspaper and smack yourself in the head a few dozen times...these things look good on paper, but rarely work well for the non-professional...best wishes |

| Nah, just a funny way of telling the blunt truth. If someone 'just wants to stud a dog out a few times' then they probably assume they are going to have a well behaved pet male back when he's had his fun, which isn't always the case. Breeding has a huge affect on males too--not just the gals. Those effects aren't exactly enjoyable and many times the male owners don't consider those things, thinking they've got the easy end of the deal. In general, breeding a male (or female for that matter) isn't something you 'just do' for fun. |

too funny. just remember.....once a stud, always a stud. no matter if you get him fixed or not. once they stud, they run away looking for their next female, they loose all common sence (like men . they will mark all over the house. just make sure you know what you are getting into.

If you delay neutering your little man he will become a peeing machine.. marking everywhere, everything you treasure, including you! Its not worth it in the long run...you will ruin a perfectly trained pet!

| stud I wish someone had told me many years ago what to expect from my dog breeding ideas..LOL seriously, information gives you the insight to make wise choices. I learned everything first hand. Aside from the fact it is almost impossible to have a stud and a pet...another huge problem can be actually dealing with other non-professionals..and that person happens to own the female...a professional will not be interested. You need a contract whether it is a fee or puppy...and realize not everyone honors contracts..just read the archives to see hwo many get ripped off. Your male is not proven..he may breed fine, he may not...he may have genetic problems he can pass on, he may not..so you need to have a vet, well informed into breeding test him...the cost of testing will prolong his stud career so you can recoup the money. Unless, he is a well known stud, how many requests do you feel you will get in a year? If you decide on a fee and it does not result in puppies..the reputable breeder gives another free stud service..in the mean time, you will not be able to neuter him until you fulfill the contract. I wasn't fond of stud service for the reason some people are not careful where they place puppies...they are too trusting...nothing sadder then finding out one of your boys puppies is in a puppymill etc..so have some agreement about how and where to place puppies...spay/neuter pet homes etc..best wishes |

| I usually don't respond to these because the first response that comes to my mind is what Pat (YorkieRose) said. BUT that's because of my own personal experience. I was SO inexperienced and naive about the studding procedure when I decided to go that route with my toy poodle, Daxton. I advertised his stud service and the rest is something I'd rather forget. Yes, I had to put up with the female in my house for a week - causing Dax to be a total basket case (he even tore up carpet trying to get to her). Then, we found out that a couple of the puppies had luxating patella (not sure to which degree) but I felt pretty bad because I knew that Dax had a very mild case of it in one leg. THEN I had to deal with him marking everywhere after that! Just that ordeal alone has turned me off of not only having a male again but I would never have a stud in the house again. Please..... if you want your baby to remain a "pet" and not have to keep belly bands on him 24/7, think about this decision really, really hard. Good luck with whatever you decide. I wish I would have had a support group like this when I was making that decision with Dax.
