| New to breeding I am wanting to get started breeding yorkies. I have searched all over the internet and I can't find any helpful websites about breeding and running a kenel. If anybody knows of one or can give me some advice on what I need to do to run one, please help! Thanks! |

| How many dogs do you plan to breed? How many different breeds?

| New to breeding Hi! Sorry it has taken so long to respond. Computer problems... Anyway, I have never bred before but I have been "watching and learning" from another breeder friend of mine. Right now I only want to do Yorkies. If I see I can handle it, I may go into other breeds, but not right away. I'm in love with Yorkies and its the breed that makes me want to do it. I have been researching since way before I bought my baby 2 years ago. The only thing I really haven't done is help with a whelping. I hope to get to soon, though. I want my babies inside definitely. That's a problem, though, I have a small house, so I don't know yet where I would put them. Any other questions? I will take any advice I can get! Thanks so much! |

| I would suggest you scroll back through some threads here on the breeder's forum. There have been some great discussions in the last month or so. You'll see some threads about Yorkie health issues, whelping preparation and many things to watch for during pregnancy, whelping and after. There really is a lot to consider and it ain't all fun and games....just read some of the recent tragic threads then ask yourself do you still want to do it? Don't count on breeding Yorkies being simple. You must be prepared for any number of things and most of all, you must be there when whelping time comes. Toy breeds can have a much more difficult time than other breeds. The list goes on and on. Do some more research and when you have a specific question, you can get some great advice here. Two good books to get are The New Complete Yorkshire Terrier by Joan Gordon and The Joy of Breeding Your Own Show Dog by Ann Serane. |
