Breeding Information Wanted - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Tail docking is a debatable subject. I know cutting/stitching is painful..mine screamed and it was a bloody mess. I learned the English method of clamp and twist..the pup has very little reaction and there is no blood lost at all. Using a rubber band is painful also.
Vet fees are no doubt reasonable in your area, but puppy prices are also lower..it evens out.

WhitneyM- Hey i was just curious where you lived, I go to Pitt State. There are a few breeders that live around here I could give you there phone numbers or e-mail addresses, to possibly get info from them. If you want this information just PM me okay.

luvdorkyyorkies · 02-10-2005, 04:02 AM

I went to my vet and he taught me to dock tails and remove dewclaws......in fact he encourage me to do it myself instead of bringing them out and exposing the pups.
Truth is I hate this part of breeding!! I will never ever get used to it! Why cant they be born with short tails?............lol Be as sterile as possible, or very clean about it. Have a vet show you with your first litter.
Nothing pretty about this procedure. I found docking their tails at 2 days is better then 6 days. They seem to feel more later. Yes They do feel it for sure.
C secs here in Illinois for me run 150 to 200, as of yet (knock on wood) no need for the service.
THe english meothod? They dont react? Gotta know how its done, I hate the reaction I get! WIth the cut method.

I know this is highly ignorant, but why do their tails need to be docked?? Is it necessary even if you arent going to show the dog?? And what about the dew claws?

feminvstr · 02-28-2005, 04:01 PM

tail docking is a tradition show of the breed standard in the US and Great Britain.

The dew claws are removed for sanitary and safety. That back nail if not removed can catch on things indoors and out and get caught up, get infected or even worse get ripped off.

lovefor3yorkies · 03-10-2005, 05:24 PM

Please spay your male as he is above standad. REsponsible breeders AT LEAST breed for the standard york. A 8-9 pound male is definatley not standard and would require a larger female to breed with. Way off. =)

lovefor3yorkies · 03-10-2005, 05:35 PM

The English method----please explain---no litters to date. To be honest I just want to know if I can handle it. And HOW do you remove dew claws? My Lexi is 4.8 pounds and I just bought a male out of a line of 3-4 pounders so I am hoping he will be smaller. I will breed but probably her 3rd heat. I'm just taking in a lot of info right now. My vet will DEFINATLEY do these the first time but IF I can handle it, I might try.

YorkieRose · 03-11-2005, 06:27 AM

Lexi's mom..why not let the vet do it the first few times until you find your sea legs. You will be stressed out with the whelping..best wishes

MgM · 03-12-2005, 03:13 PM

Hello,
I was wondering if any of you sell dogs for breeding purposes....
I'm having alot of trouble in my area finding someone without a breeding contract.

Can someone give me some info?

Thanks

lovefor3yorkies · 03-12-2005, 03:17 PM

Oh, trust me. I will. I just thought hearing the details may stamper my interest in trying it alone. If I do it i will probably be at the vet's in case I can't handle it. I'm a big softy. =)

lovefor3yorkies · 03-12-2005, 03:21 PM

MgM- Don't just breed. Do research first, look at pedigrees then think about it beofre just buying 2 dogs and breeding them. I HATE THAT! I am buying from a breeder in Texas with full- breeding rights for 1240 but they won't just sell to anybody. If I refered you--they'd be so mad at me. If you e-mail me with your intentions I may but please research this first. These are man made dogs and sometimes you run into a jam with the delivery or other things. I would be happy to help my e-mail is lovefor3yorkies@aol.com. I will try to answer any questions you have. =)

MgM · 03-12-2005, 05:21 PM

my intentions are to care for a yorkie but not be limited to just that since they are sooo expensive.... i would not mix breeds, and not just intending on whipping 2 dogs together(yorkies) just to make some dough..
But later on, who knows, i may want to try to breed and with a contract against it they would penalize me and + they would not be recognized as purebread in canada due to the breach of contract.
At this moment I am still researching them, I'll email you when im fully informed.

by the way,
Thanks
(people here are pretty friendly)

lovefor3yorkies · 03-12-2005, 06:00 PM

Fair enough. =) Just shoot me a private e-mail when you feel you're ready. The males are 1240 which includes shipping and the females are 1500 includes shipping also. These puppies will be between 2-5 pounds.

So thats means just different blood lines, correct?
Im still a noobie so any help is greatly appreciated.

lovefor3yorkies · 03-12-2005, 06:49 PM

NO--You need different "good" bloodlines. Also genetics plays a big role. Your pups will need to be tested for many different things in order to be a respectable breeder at least. The most important I feel being prtalsystemic shunt (liver shut). Line-breeder is sometimes a good thing but too much is bad. Just depends on the lines. There's a lot more invloved than people are aware of. And when you don't do all the necessary stuff you take big chances. You need a contract and an adoption process that potential buyers must go through. This is very important if you care about the dogs and their offspring--you should never put a pup on this earth and not know where it is! IMO
