I hope that you get all the answers you need because regardless whether I agree with you or not, I am glad that you are informing yourself about what to expect and what to be prepared to do......

My grandaughter has a Maltese that usually has 4 or 5 puppies, but there's always one or two from the litter that doesn't make it. So she wants to try my smaller male Yorkie with her female Maltese, because she likes the breed combination and hopes that all the puppies will survive if they are smaller. Good Luck with your puppies?

Sorry, but, it's not always the mom being the maltese and dad yorkie, it can be turned around too..

Yuppers!

There are way too many Yorkie mixes in shelters all across the US. They needs home very badly. Why would you add more to that?

I can understand that you want puppies from your dog but is your dog perfectly healthy? Have you done all the testing that is supposed to be done? Are you going to make sure these puppies don't have puppies themselves?

As for a website I think you can get one at godaddy.com for about 9.99+.

If you are truly serious about breeding, then you need to start out by getting yourself some good books on the topic of breeding yorkies, specifically. Then you need to sit down to read, read, read -everything you can get your hands on. Next, if you still think you need to follow through with your plan to breed, you'll need to find yourself an ethical, experienced breeder as a mentor. I am an old farm girl, so breeding, raising, and training animals has always been a major part of my life. HOWEVER, when I decided to breed my yorkies, I bought every "breed specific" book I could get my hands on, not just books about breeding or whelping, but about the whole biological yorkie as a breed. Then I found myself an excellent "breed specific" mentor (not just someone who has a dog that has had a litter or two) and we went from there. Before you do this, please call your vet and get an idea of what tests you need to have done for your dogs before breeding, and the cost of those tests. Then, inquire as to the expense of tests, ultrasounds, x-rays, and whelping materials that you will need to acquire during pregnancy. Finally, you will also need to find out what expenses are involved with a possible c-section, and obviously post-delivery care for mom and her puppies, i.e., dew claw removal, tail docking, and various immunization shots. Now, what I am about to say is meant to be taken in the sweetest possible way, I don't want to offend anyone here as I love my YT family. But, based on your original question, you probably weren't aware of the items that I've listed here for you to ponder which means you need to begin at square one, so head on over to the library or major pet supply store and get yourself some good books and enjoy reading about your sweet little furry kids.

Yeah... I'm just going to hold my tongue for now... It might become a war zone in here. To the OP... Good luck to you! Whatever floats your boat!

I hope your rich, and if you were that rich would someone want to breed a mixed breed??

[lilsnowboo]

I've seen some breeders have ultra sound machines you know what a ultra sound machine is don't you but I can go the vet but it's unnessary to an ultra sound machine. I saw it on this tv show on animal planet calle that's my baby this woman had a st. berard and she had an ultra sound machine looking at the puppies counting them she was at her house with it .........but never mind lol it was just a though

I wanna thank everyone I don't care about the mean comments cause they actually made me think more and I wanna just say thanks to eveyone that commented
