Need any kind of advice! I HAVE A MALE YORKIE RIGHT NOW AND HE WILL BE A YEAR OLD ON 10-15:) AND HE IS 7 LBS AND I AM WANTING TO GET A FEMALE AND START BREEDING THEM.. I WAS WONDERING WHAT SIZE WOULD BE BEST TO MATE HIM WITH.. THE SAME SIZE HE IS OR WOULD SMALLER BE A PROBLEM!!!:confused: |
Why do you want to start breeding? |
Most like the male to be smaller, although that is not necessary. You should not go bigger because she would be above standard. I would get one that will be 5 to 6 pounds. |
Thanks! |
There's so much more to breeding than size. Please do your research first before even considering buying another one for this purpose. There's a lot of helpful information here if you do a search. |
The size of your male alone is not a good indicator of what size female would be best for him as a mate. You have to take into account the size of the other dogs in both his and her lines as their genetics attribute to what is passed on to litters as well. (That's without even delving into all the many aspects that need to be taken into consideration when contemplating breeding.) If you are aspiring to breed your little one and striving toward being an ethical breeder as oppose to your run of the mill BYBer, then you no doubt have a breeding mentor that you are working with at this point to help prepare you for what lies ahead. My advice would be to utilize his/her knowledge while you can! As you are just starting out, your mentor will be a valuable asset in helping you to select a good match for your guy and learning what to look for when pairing up dogs . |
just a thought thinking you should have a smaller male like maybe 2.5 to 3.5 pounds but thats just a thought:) |
