Question
 

I have been reading how people dont like it when someone trys to breed who does not know what they are doing.

Well I had someone come up to me the other day while I was walking Rascal in the park. She also had a yorkie, well she asked me if I would be willing to stud out Rascal? She said she had been looking for awhile for a male yorkie in wichita and has not found one willing to stud them out.

I told her I was not for sure and that I had to think about it. She gave me her phone number and asked me to keep in touch. She asked me how old Rascal was and when I told her he was only 4 months old she said that was too soon to breed but that she was in no hurry and was willing to wait untill Rascal was old enough.

My question is how do you go about studing out your yorkies? I have not read up on it just because of the fact I never considered studing him out.

How old do they need to be before you start studing them out?
Does it cause any problems when you do start studing them? like for instance do they start humping everything in site after that?
How choosy do you need to be about who you stud your yorkies to?
What are you suppose to charge for doing this?

I have tons more questions but I dont want this to be too long of a post. Can anyone give me advice on what to do??

I always thought about breeding yorkies, but I didnt and dont plan on starting any time soon. I wanted to wait till I knew for sure what I was doing.
I dont plan on breeding for years to come seeing as I am only 23yrs old.
I just dont know what to do about this lady. Should I stud Rascal out to her?? Any advise would be most appreciated as long as it does not cause contraverse. I am not starting this thread to cause a problem I generaly want to know and am looking for someone to guide me through this

Un-neutered males are much more likely to develop health problems and will 'mark' everything in your home, even if housebroken. Neutering at 6 months reduces or elimates this problem. Is he an outstanding example of the standard that you feel will improve the breed quality? Does he have CH bloodlines and are you aware of the health history of his pedigree back several generations? Might he be carrying recessive traits for genetic disorders that you are not aware of? What about her dog? What are her reasons for wanting to breed? Why has she been unable to find a stud to service her dog, if it is of excellent breeding potential? There are many inferior dogs produced out of ignorance and for all the wrong reasons that are perpetuating inherent genetic disorders that thoughtful breeders are trying to eliminate. I applaud your request for advice and suggest that you start by searching this forum for more information and learning basic genetics. There is a good thread for info on this subject- I want to breed . I am sure you will also get great responses from some of the experienced breeders on the site. Best of luck, Stacy
