| Interested In Breeding my year old male yorkie Hi Ya'll. Im from Central NY, Around the Utica/Albany area. I have a year old Male yorkie that weighs between 7-8 pounds. Both the Dam and Sire of my boy weighed not even 5 pounds, and My boy is a little large, but hey that happens. He will be turning a Year on June 9th, and Im really debating rather or not I should use him as a stud, and how i go about doing that? Does anyone know of some good advertising on the net that will allow me to advertise him as a stud. I have had him tested for everythign just to make sure he would be a good stud, and the vet said he would be perfect. Being that most of his relatives are small, then i really dont have much to worry about him producing larger dogs. Well the more information I have the better it is, so im willing to learn and take advice from anyone and everyone.. Proud Owner of Max Age 1 June 9th, 2008( |

| Most breeders would not recommend breeding a male over 7 lbs unless he is of superior quality and has a lot to offer to ones breeding program. Do you have pictures of your male? Have you had him evaluated by a knowledgeable person that could tell if he is sound conformation wise? What kind of coat does he have? I can tell you honestly that few people will want to breed to a male over 7 lbs. |

BANNED FOR NOT MAILING PRODUCTS PURCHASED | When a male is used as a stud, he will start marking, he also may get aggressive. These are some things to consider. IMO he sounds to to large to be a stud. Good luck with your decision. |

| My breeder that I had gotten max from is a well known breeder in our area, She has over 30 yorkies that she deals with breeding and studding out. She herself told me that max would be fine to breed to another yorkie being that he was just one large puppy doens't mean he will just continusly produce large puppies. Everyone has the chance of producing a large puppy no matter how hard they try to keep them small. he has had his testing done, and they all have told me he would be excellent. He is blk and gold, and with some silver in him. His coat is very soft and silky, a overall beautiful well mannered dog.. |

| I saw something on another post that I wanted to respond to... but the thread was closed in the process.... it was a little off topic over there anyway, but I think it applies here... Quote:
In searching for "the ones", I found myself CONSTANTLY passing up opportunities because of even small "faults" - - - until I researched a little more and came to the mindset that with a grounded program, these faults can "bred out" or "improved" with each mating. Am I correct in my thinking? Or, no? For example.... one has a bit of a longer muzzle than I'd like... her parents are beautiful, healthy, well-rounded little ones but I'd have passed her up in a heartbeat 6 months ago, just because of that one thing I didn't quite like about her.... but knowing that we can improve this trait with a short muzzled, more of a "baby faced" male - I think she will otherwise make a wonderful mom and hopefully produce nice representations of the Yorkie breed! Another example.... a 10 lb dad and a 10 lb mom won't necessarily have 10 lb babies..... I would have NEVER thought about bringing in dogs of that size to breed with, but IF in researching their lines you find that they are from consistently standard size dogs... and have thrown standard size pups in the past.... I for one, wouldn't "write that dog off" as "unbreedable" based on size alone. Anyway, I suppose I just wanted to make a point to those who only condone breeding of NO LESS than the defined representation of the standard. All too often I've seen people here being reprimanded for considering the mating of their "less than perfect" Yorkie... and ideally, the ONLY dogs of ANY breed EVER mated by ANYONE would be PERFECT REPRESENTATIONS of that breed.... (it would be law that only Champion animals may be allowed to reproduce!) - But if that were the case... how many breeders would be "out of business"? I don't believe that one should set out initially to merely produce "pet quality" animals.... (as those who say, "I breed for pets, not show, so what does it matter?" - those people erk me...) - - but I sure would miss the little faces in the world who may not "make the grade" for show but have been some of the best friends we could ever know!

Yea my opinion is I think so, but all her dogs are registered with the AKC and all come from a great pedigree and most if not all are champion blood lines. Alot of her dogs are also show quality dogs. She doest just do Yorkies, she does those taco bell dogs haha, can't spell the right name, and pugs, but her better line of dogs are yorkies. She sells most of her dogs for 1500.00 some she has gotten 2000.00 for | |

| A 7lb. male yorkie may be too large to breed unless he has some outstanding qualities. Take a look at his pedigree and check out the past 3 to 5 generations and see what size his ancestors are. It helps to study his background and see what kind of puppies he would throw (size, typiness, ear set, frame, temperament etc.) He may happen to be an exception and be large, but if after studying his ancestry, you happen to find that to be the normal size, then it may not be a good idea. Even small males can sometimes produce large pups because it's in their background. Time to do some homework, if you are serious. Personally, I prefer to breed top quality dogs and produce something for show. Last edited by Litllam88; 05-21-2008 at 02:08 PM. |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I thought you might be interested in this recent thread: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...-breeding.html It tells of some of the behavioral changes that occur after breeding.
