| The Right Mate For My Doggie I Wanted To Mate My Dog For The First Time. He Is 17 Months Old And About 5 Or 6 Pounds. Is There A Certain Age And/or Weight Range I Should Look For In A Mate For Him?

| I've just spent 3 sleepless nights with my stud and just wanted to ask are you sure you want to do this? I would suggest you invest in belly bands and a good enzyme cleaner. Have your male evaluated by a toy judge or a yorkie exhibitor and health screened. Study his pedigree for at least 3 generations, if he is an excellent, healthy representation of the breed and you are willing for your pet to become a hormone driven pain in the butt than look for a gal who has met the same qualifications. Go to a show and see what is in your area, meet the excellent yorkies and their owners and see if any would be interested in your male.

| Have you had him evaluated to see if he represents the breed in a manner that should be bred? What health screenings have you had done one him? Telling you what kind of female will compliment him as a mate is not something that can really be done on the internet...it differs from dog to dog and depends on MANY factors, not just weigh and age. I would recommend that you find a reputable, experienced breeder in your area that can train you on what to look for and guide you through the process. Also, research the behavioral changes normally associated with studs and determine if that is something you are willing to accept. |
