| is there such thing as a Stud service at their home? Basically, I am wondering if there is such thing as a stud service where they take my female yorkie and they care for it, and hopefully the stud service's male yorkie impregnates my female yorkie, and they also handle the pregancy & birth. The thing is I don't have much time to handle my yorkie's birth and be at her side for 9 straight weeks. I know it might sound cruel, but my work work work bogs down about 12 hours of a day. Yet, I really want my Chestnut to have babies - just once. Then, I'm spaying. Can anyone help me out with this info? I know i probably didn't word it too well, but i hope you understand me. thanks!

YT 1000 Club Member | I don't think you should be breeding... If you don't have time for the birth what about the puppies. And you have to realize many people will comment about the 'just once' thing. Some people understand it but others will not.... |

Stud owner provides stud service and that is it.....as far as caring and whelping of a litter too, it's not gonna happen. If you have no time to care for your female, whelp a litter and make sure that the litter is raised properly.....then Don't Breed Her..... Breeding is a big responsibility.....

There is nothing like the pain of watching your female hit with that first contraction and being a woman that has had 2 children....know exactly the pain she is going through to bring life into the world.....It brings tears to my eyes everytime it happens.

| I was also thinking that if you do decide to breed her, she would probably much rather be at home caring for them...not at someone else's house. Taking the female to the stud to breed is one thing...but spending months somewhere that's not "home" to raise a 1st litter, may not make for a happy, relaxed mommy. Just a thought.

BANNED! | To me it doesn't sound like you have the time needed to be a responsible breeder. I also would suggest if you do decide to go ahead and breed her, it's best to keep her in your home after her pregnancy. She will be way to stressed at someone else's house with hormones, morning sickness(possibly), and the birthing and caring for her babies. |

| i am just wondering....Why are you breeding her? it doesn't seem like you are going to be around for any of it. puppies are a huge responsiblity. it is constant changing pee pads, feedings, vets, socializing, playing, loving. my babies keep me busy all day long. i just can't see leaving puppies alone. they will walk through their own pee and poo. who will be there to clean them up? i am sorry but i do have to agree with everyone else and NOT DO IT! there are too many people out there breeding yorkies. most of the yorkies being bred don't even look like yorkies. my advise to you is to read all you can in this breeding section. see how many puppies have died over the last few weeks. go back even further and you will see the loss of mothers and whole litters. you have to understand, we see the bad and the sad. people come on this forum all of the time and ask "HELP" they did not have the knowledge of breeding or know what the warning signs are. whatever you decide to do, make sure you are doing it for the right reason and learn all you can.

| Did you know you can eliminate Chestnut's chances of ever getting mammary cancer if you spay her before her first heat? In dogs, a female spayed before her first heat will have a near-zero chance of developing mammary cancer. After the first heat, this incidence climbs to 7 percent, and after the second heat, the risk is 25 percent. If your pet has already gone through one or more heats, we still recommend spaying. Spaying can help shrink mammary cysts and prevents pyometra. http://www.cvm.umn.edu/vmc/forclient...rbenefits.html Please do not breed her. You don't have the time or the right reasons for doing so. Breeding should be left to the experts. |

Have chestnut spayed. You will lessen her chances of getting mammary cancer, ovarian cancer, or pyometra.

YT 1000 Club Member | I don't think she's worring about that (because she may have already passed her first heat? I may be wrong), but there are many breeders (show ones also) that breed their yorkies and don't get cancer. It's a risk all breeders take and for some reason everyone mentions cancer to breeders that don't show, as if they never did their research on breeding.... Also, I don't think she stated her reason for breeding. Just that she wants to do it 1 time. We have no idea why that is... |

| cancer Like the others, I wonder why you want a litter also? The first 9 weeks is the easy part...it is the next 12 weeks and taking care of mom and the litter that wears me out.. I took a trip once and left my husband with a litter of five pups who were 8 weeks old...it was ONLY TWO days...when I returned I asked what he did while I was away..he said all he did for 48 hrs was take care of puppies. |

| Bringing puppies into the world is a huge commitment. A responsible breeder will take a dog back at any time time during it's lifetime if for some reason the owner can no longer keep it. Are you prepared to do that? Also, a responsible breeder will provide a health guarantee for at least a year. What if one of your puppies needs expensive surgery for a liver shunt or luxating patellas? Can you afford that? Unless you can answer "yes" to those questions, you should not even consider breeding your female. |
