| Is her yorkie to standard? Is she a good example of the breed? Did you ask her why she wants to breed her female? Has she ever bred before?

| reply her female from what she said is like 3 lbs and she didnt say if her female was registered or not. i dont think she has ever bred before because she told me that this was her first female. She told me she just wanted puppies and that she was willing to pay. |

| Adding to that, have they both been tested for genetic diseases? STDs? Studding your dog out to a lady from work is more responsibility than just "how much should I charge?" You are willingly bringing more life into this world, your as responsible as the female's owner for every single puppy produced, whether healthy, sick, or special needs.

| Oh my. 3 lbs is WAY too small to breed. She could die during the birthing process. Or need an emergency c section. Many times the stud's owner will get a stud fee or pick of the litter, but what if the female dies or if there is only one in the litter? I would not do it, esp since she is also inexperienced. Just politely tell her no. Also, once your male has mated, he will be consumed by it. If you do not get him neutered after he has mated he will try to run away everytime there is a female in heat nearby. And by nearby I mean she could be miles away. He will also mark like crazy. He will no longer be your little baby. No amount of money would be worth it to me. eta: my Uni is 5 lbs and I think she is super tiny. Now imagine one almost HALF her size!

| If the female is 3 lbs, and I'm assuming she's full grown, she is way way WAY to small to breed. The owner of the female is putting her dog's life at risk just to have puppies.

| maybe, maybe not. We've changed people's minds before. The op doesn't seem dead set on it, so I think we have a chance to educate here.

I just wanted to share this story with you. Once I had a woman come into my shop (where Uni is every day with me). She told me she breeds yorkies and if I ever wanted to breed Uni she has a tiny stud. I said, "No I'm not going to breed Uni bc other than her not being that close to standard, she also has LP grade 3." You know what the woman responded with? "What's LP?" If she didn't know what LP is (luxating patella) she should NOT be breeding. But she was!
