Breeding Coco.... I really want to breed coco she will be in heat again in another 8 months lol i know its a bit early to be thinking about this but i want to be prepared my aunt just got a yorkie he is a really good representation of the breed he was to small to show so they sold him to my auntie!!! he has a real nice top-line ears are perfect so is his head and face!!! i have a few pics of them together but there not that good lol its hard to snap pictures of them when there playing but yea what would be the first steps in preparing them for breeding? What genetics tests do they need? price? and can anyone help me with making a contract for selling the pups??? And i know this is a dumb question i always ask lol when she comes into heat she bleeds is that when they should be put together and tie or is it the days after when she is still swollen but not bleeding??? |
I would have both male and female checked by the vet and screened for liver shunts, legg perthes, and patella luxation. Do you know of any background health problems in the pedigrees? How are the bites? Does the male have both testicles? Are they both good representatives of the breed? Do you know anything about both pedigrees? Silk coat, black coat, soft coat? What size dogs are in the background? Just because the male is tiny, doesnt mean his puppies will be. Are you prepared for this undertaking including an emergency c-section? Any particular reason why you want to breed? These are just some of the questions I would answer before I got into contracts and prices. Good luck!!!! |

Considering the problems you've had with Cocos' breeder and the fact that you aren't 100% sure of where she came from I would not do it. There could be genetic defaults in Cocos line that you do not know about. |

I would really think about this somemore before attempting to breed. I believe you would be an excellent breeder because you are doing your research. I don't think Coco would be a good candidate for breeding though. You can always do the Wisdon Panel and that is great but that only shows if she is a full Yorkie or not. It says nothing about her great great great grandparents. You would have no idea if liver shunt has been in her line (it could be up to 10 generations back) or LP. How will you know if she came from a line of free whelpers? Maybe you could just keep Coco as a pet and get another one to breed? |
The days after when shes swollen. |

Hey, Alex! I would not breed her if I were you. I would find another female that meets the standard more and is a better representation of the breed. Coco is your baby and you should let her stay that way. I can even help you find a female if you want. after a year of looking around and learning about breeding you kind of find hundreds of places, some good but you want the best! pm me and i can suggest places/things... But if you go along with it, I can help out at the least by letting you know that yorkiegetthesmiles (sp?) has a whelping video up for grabs. You can see what happens.. |
I put mine together on days 7-9 after bleeding starts, while she is still bleeding. I have had great success with this. She will also flag very strong on these days, showing you her readiness. Like everyone else, I caution you on breeding her. Not because she is purebred or all that other stuff, but because you love her and bad things can happen to girls when they are pregnant and during birth. Also, whelping and caring for pups is not just her job, it's yours. If you work, it will be hard. I have my own business and can take off the first week or two and then take babies in with me. You may also be up a lot at night. My girl doesn't like to sleep with the pups all night, so I have to put a very low heating pad under the box to help the pups stay warm. This can mean getting up every couple hours to check on them, let mom nurse, and reset the heating pad. Raising babies is a lot more work than you might think. Do lots of reading and preparing and know that pups are a LOT of work to do right. Good luck to you and coco. |
