Is this okay? Okay, I posted earlier that Fancy was in heat. She has been bleeding all day, but now there is no thing. Is this normal? Is she suppose to bleed continuous or off and on? |
For most females, they start to come into standing heat once the bleeding stops. Are you sure she just started going into heat today or has she been in heat for a while? Some females don't bleed at all and I'm sure others bleed so lightly that they keep themselves clean and its not noticeable. I asked this in your other thread but you haven't responded. Have you already had her and the male tested and screened for everything? You really need to do this before you breed them. |
Let me just say...if she is in standing heat, your male will KNOW. ;) |

I don't want to sound harsh but it sounds like you have alot more homework to do before you consider becoming a breeder. I would suggest that you skip this heat and do some more studying so that you will be better prepared for this endeavor. Breeding these angels is very serious business, you could be adding to the overpopulation problem, putting your gals life in danger and could even be adding to the downfall of this breed. Make sure that your dogs are excellent examples of the breed, that they and their ancesters are free from genetic issues, and that you know all that you need to know to ensure that your gal and her pups have a safe and healthy whelping. |
Arent't you the lady that was keeping the dogs outside? Sorry if I am mistaken but based on those threads I feel you really need to do a lot of research before you jump right in and start breeding. There is a whole lot more to it than just letting them be together. Again, I apoligize if I am wrong. |

You two ladies said what ALOT of others are thinking! I couldn't agree more! I hope all is not falling on deaf ears, but I'm afraid that might be the case. (This is one of those situation where I am really having to sit on my hands here.:( ) |

Aren't we supposed to be helping?! Wasn't it agreed that it's better to be helpful because she's asking questions and trying to learn. It shouldn't matter if she's a hobby breeder or backyard breeder, she's asking for help on something that she'll do with or without YT. Sorry, you couldn't hear what I was saying - had to use the fingers! |

I believe this person has recieved a great deal of "help" and "answers" and "advice" from people here already...what she chooses to do with that info is up to her. |

Is seems that most everyone here is already against me and will not answer my questions so I will continue to talk to the ones that are friendly and will answer my questions and not continue to bash me...It is so sad that alot of people on here doesn't have a life and all they have to do is bash everyone's questions..because they know EVERYTHING!!!!! And it wasn't last week when I came on here either it has been about 3 weeks.... |
I just REALLY hope you health screen these dogs first...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do this. It is not fair to bring unhealthy dogs into this world. It's not fair for the dog or the new owner. PLEASE make sure your dogs are 100% healthy and sound BEFORE you breed. If that means skipping this heat to get it done first, please do that. |

the advise from some very experienced breeders have giving you advise to just sit back and learn before you jump into this. this is probably the best advise you have been given. but since you do not like this advise, you will ignore it and go about doing what you are going to do. so with that being said, why would we give you any more advise if you are just going to ignore the best advise you have been given? |
I was always told bright red blood, not ready, no blood, fertile. |
But you're supposed to count the days when the blood starts. |

:thumbs up :yeahthat: Agree 100%! Generally speaking, for me it's not only that, but I don't generally make a habit out of supporting something I don't agree with, nor do I encourage or coach or advise people if I don't agree with their breeding ethics. I would never encourage anyone who has done little to no reasearch to put their dogs' lives at risk nor would I help them by advising them on how to do so...even if they are going to do it regardless. |
I just re-read "Sticky: The Breeder Talk Section! Why It Is Here" and I obviously interpret it differently that others. Admin, please accept my apologies. |
I've sat on my fingers long enough LOL...yes this is the same person that bought breeding females and had them outside...obiviously this person isn't going to take advice that she doesn't agree with and take the offensive approach to our answers, so, with that said......I refuse to help "backyard breeders" it goes against my ethics and especially when one is not at least trying to take advice from responsible and ethical breeders! I wash my hands of this person! Donna Bird Brooklynn's Yorkshire Terriers |

To the OP - it really seemed like you had listened to some of the advice given...you were even asking about health screening and costs. I just hope you'll sit this one out (and not allow any "accidents" to happen) and learn more and find out about the health of your dogs before you consider breeding. I really hope you take the advice given here. Please breed responsibly |

To be honest, I wouldn't even consider breeding these dogs because it doesn't sound like you have their history. What if one of their great grandparents had a liver shunt? That isn't going to show up by testing the parents but the puppies could still end up with this problem. For the sake of the dogs, please health screen, STUDY THE LINES and make sure they are standard before going any farther. |

PLEASE take this advice. I just got back from the vet after spending $375. to find out my 9 month old girl has Leggs Perthes, now she will have to undergo a painful surgery and long recovery because of a breeder that did not screen her dogs. The surgery will cost me more than I paid for her, which I don't care about, I just want her to stop hurting. The heart ache I feel right now could have been prevented. Learn the history of your breeding stock, PLEASE. |

To the OP...You will receive both very passionate postive and negative responses in an open forum. Please read with care and be a responsible breeder. Make sure you do your back ground research, proper health screening, and blood work before jumping into anything. To be a responsible breeder means going the extra mile to make sure you are producing healthy, happy puppies without genetic faults. I know you would want to better the breed and make sure you are following the true standard!! |

Thanks...I PM'd you. |
You have REALLY gotten some GREAT advice here. Most everyone has been kind and helpful to you. Have you done your research this quickly? It took me YEARS......... Hopefully you did bring them inside. Hopefully you did take them all to the vet Hopefully you did get health screening done on all of them. If not....Poor mama's ...Poor babies ...and Poor future heatbroken owners :( sad |
