Eventurally my breeder is going to help me get another female and i will do the same with her. I really dont see anything wrong with wanting to breed him. Have you ever seen yorki-poos. They are adorable. What do u all feel about the Morkies? they are mixed dogs also? But I dont see you complaining to the lady that owns morkies? just complaining on what i want to do with max..

Trust me, I could really use the extra money too, but I would never jeopardize my dogs to do so. Would you make a young child go and get a job because money is tight (oh we have an extra person in our house, lets have them get some money)? I would hope not! Also, breeding changes their personality, he may no longer be the wonderful pet that he is now. What are you going to do when he starts marking everywhere and has other behavioral changes? Guess where that extra money is going to go too? Also, what about the expenses to prepare him to breed, such as testing and everything. I'm not a breeder, but from what I understand is that breeders rarely make money, and when they do, it usually goes back into their program for another litter. Also, wouldn't you only be getting a stud fee, or pick of the litter? You wouldn't be selling the puppies, the owner of the bitch would be.

There are tons of other ways to make extra money, I just hate when people use their poor defenseless pet to do so.

Sorry if my post comes off as rude, I'm not trying to be, I just think that wanting to make money is the wrong reason to want to get into breeding, there are so many other things that come with breeding besides $$. I am glad your doing your research though and not like some who think it's simple, from reading on here you can tell it's anything but!

I guess the way I see it is, it's her dog, her choice, she has to live with whatever she decides.

We can only give our opinions, whether the OP'er wants to hear it or not, she did come her to get advice and this is a public forum, so there is going to be nice opinions and not so nice opinions.

Either way, she is the one who knows what she wants to do and how she wants to do it. I feel we are here on this earth to learn life lessons, maybe this is one of those lessons.

If you didn't read What I just posted. I heard that breeding these types of dogs you could make some money, and I dont know if you are rich or what not, but everyone needs som extra money right now..

Max is totally worth the money I paid for him. I will love him unconditinally no matter if he breeds or not. Breeding is STILL UP IN THE AIR, If I dont find a female that he can breed he is getting fixed, and will be just a wonderful pet. Adventually when i get my own place, I will go into breeding, dont care what people have to say or not. Yes I want to make extra money.. Idont see that as a problem...
