But, the rule is you can't advertise them until they are 10 weeks of age.......Puppies shouldn't leave the breeder's house or their mothers until 12 weeks of age. Minimum of 2 innoculations, plenty of time for socialization, vet checks, etc. |
mardelin, yes you are right, i can understand where your coming from. but no i am not here just to sell pups, as a matter of fact when i joined the site i had no interest in breeding. and when i did decided to breed my girl, it wasnt to make easy money or anything, it was cause my girl is beautiful and i knew she would make beautiful babies, and i think the more yorkies in the world the merrier. :) |

you think you should only breed a yorkie if there showdog capable? what about just having a family member? i mean i know what you mean, but i dont think dixie is show dog material but i love her very much. |
these pups will go to good homes though. cause if i dont find them a home, i will keep them. i had already decided that before i bred my girl. |

The market is saturated with Yorkie puppies from backyard breeders that are far from the standard and may be carrying genetic time bombs because their breeder didn't do any health testing and knew nothing about genetics. Finding good homes for the puppies is only part of the equation. Did you know Yorkies are 36 times more likely to be born with a liver shunt than all other breeds combined? Did both parents have a bile acids test? Do you know if their lines are free from shunts at least five generations back? More importantly, if one of these puppies should be diagnosed with a liver shunt, are you prepared to be financially responsible for the thousands of dollars surgery to correct the shunt will cost? Just read through our Sick and Injured and Heath sections and you will read many not-so-merry posts about Yorkies battling serious inherited conditions like liver shunts and Legg Perthes. :mad: |
ok, this is going to be my last post of the subject. so look, i know about all the yorkies and all dogs in general that are out there that dont have any homes. and i hate that also (i have a heart to), sure id love to adopt them ALL, but obviously i cannot. and i know you think im trash for being a "backyard breeder, or whatever you want to call me". but i love my girl dixie (who i got from a backyard breeder) and i love the pups and like i said before if i cant find a home for them, i will keep them myself, because i brought them into this world, so im going to make sure they have a wonderful time in this world. and to be honest and dont take this the wrong way, but you appear to be a very negative person, try to lighten up a little huh? :) |
She is not being negative. Everything she has stated is pure fact. The truth about our beloved yorkies is scary and sad. The fact that you admit your Dixie is from a byb is more reason for you to not have bred her. You don't know her background. All we are saying is you don't know what genetic disorders you may have passed onto her pups. If they need liver shunt surgery are you prepared for the expenses? I'm glad the mommy made it through and the pups survived, but if you read around the breeders forum here, you will see the majority is not as lucky. That is why we err on the safe side, even though perhaps some newbies may see it as being mean or rude. Stick around and you will see we are very passionate about the well being of the breed and the future of the breed. |
I also wanted to add. We had originally intended to breed Uni when we got her. After lots of informal research, I decided against it, even though I love her and I think she is the coolest, smartest, most beautiful yorkie ever. But the FACT is, she is not a good candidate for breeding. She has LP grade 3. LP is usually not detected in young pups, it usually is diagnosed at 6mo and up (if I"m not mistaken). She also has very long legs, big ears, too light coloring. Just b/c I love my dog and think she's beautiful is not a good reason to breed her. Believe me, I have had plenty of people randomly come up to me and ask if i wanted to breed her with their male. They did not even ask anything about her. What a shame for their dog. |
