I want to stud my male yorkie How long r there in heat for? And does anyone have any tips for a sucessful breeding x |
Males don't go into heat...they are always ready. Be aware some really hard to break habits come with intact males. He'd make a much better pet if neutered. |

Do some research. Sometimes it is not as easy as putting them together. |

Depends on the male, but it is not uncommon for males that are used as stud to become territorial, even aggressive at times, or for them to begin to mark anything that will stand still in your house. Some experience pretty significant behavioral issues. One of my studs would pace and whine and pant and refuse to eat, either when one of the girls (who did not even live in the same house) was in heat or just sporatically for no reason. And the problems may be alleviated after neuter, maybe not. A stud's actions and overall behavioral is something that should be seriously considered when thinking about breeding...it can be a pretty serious set of consequences to take on and I wouldn't consider it "worth it" in a lot of instances. |
There is also the trying to get out at all costs if a female in heat is anywhere close by. That can be very dangerous. I also remember a story on here about a male who was seriously injured while being bred just one time. The woman doing it didn't know what she was doing and he hurt his back, I think. I would seriously think twice. I know my Gizmo is sweet, but I want him to stay sweet. That's why we chose to have him neutered. :) |

Ultimately you know what's best, so I can only say what I would do. First, Gizmo has never been a tiny pup. He's always been hearty, and we've never had any issues with sugar. That said, I would do some research on vets. I would find one in my area who has done a lot of neuters on toy breeds, and who will do the extra tests ahead of time. I know that it's a tough decision, but it could make him healthier and you all happier in the long run. I have also read that it reduces the chances of some kinds of cancer, so it may even increase his life span. After checking into all of that, I would go with my heart. I know what a tough decision it can be. :hug: |
