The whelping is just the beginning, your work really begins after the litter is born. Keeping your dam healthy is the best insurance you have of raising a healthy litter. The first week after a litter is born is the most dangerous for the pups. You'll have no sleep. Then of course worrying your girl is eating, not developing mastitis, or eclampsia. Keeping the whelping area clean. Making sure your girl isn't compromised by parasites. Making sure that you keep her as clean as possible before putting her back in with her pups. I hope you have deep pockets.... |
:thumbdown:thumbdown:thumbdown so tired of these type of threads. i wish more people would realize that breeding isn't about money, OR the "i just really wanted one of her pups" there's a lot more to it than those reasons and i'm just so sick of people who don't know what they are doing breeding dogs and then asking why things are going well for them. see this every day in a vet's office and it makes me SICK:mad: |

but here's the thing. i would NEVER EVER EVER want to breed baby Sadie. i don't want to do that to her beautiful body. i don't want to risk her life on my own hands that everything will be just fine and she'll live through it. i'm not OK with trying that out on her. her life means more to mean than some people's do. (that's saying a lot) i would never live with myself if i ruined her life or mine by breeding her. but that's just me. i'm not into breeding for "i want a puppy from her" i think breeding for pureness of the breed and show is amazing and i defin. respect those that can do it. but breeding just for the he!! of it is stupid, ignorant, and animal abuse if you ask me. you should know what you are doing or not do it at all. |
breeding ok i'm done everyone has bashed me enough for today and everyone has got me wrong i did it for the experience and to keep a pup but i research did i say books no as even though i wanted to be a vet i know a lot about animals and whether you want to put your dog through this or not i don't give a damn i heard of ppl bashing never seen it but i saw the vet prior and got x-ray to make everything is ok she is my baby my god ppl read what ppl have wrote before you bashed and think you know what they r say when you don't have a clue go get your eyes check geez my god can't believe some ppl's nerves...i'm done |

To breed any dog, for the "experience" is not a concept that will go over well with the many dedicated and experienced breeders here. Go skydive, or scuba for experience, don't risk the life of a beloved dog for "your" experience. So you saw a vet and got an Xray to be sure she was okay. Did you do all the recommended health checks on her? Was the sire health checked as well? Is she and the sire a good representative of the breed? What about their lines? What is the health of the lines like? Incidence of LP, liver shunt, PRA, hip or elbow dysplasia. Are you aware of all the health concerns of yorkies? i'm sure glad your done with breeding. |

Like I said to the OP. If she expected everyone on YT to sit around and say "HIP HIP HOORAY! More puppies in the world!" I'm sorry but that is just not going to happen. I love this breed. I will admit that breeding did cross my mind, everyone loves puppies! But, the more I learned about it, it is not something should be taken on so lightheartedly. |

Furthermore, anytime someone is discussing breeding and their knowledge of the overall seems to be lacking, as has been done in this thread, you will generally see people voicing concern if they feel someone is breeding without being adequately prepared. Generally, the well being of the dog comes first, and people's feelings and egos come later. Also, just to point out, in general, the point of having an x-ray or sonar is not so that you will know in advance how many puppies to expect. :rolleyes: |

thanks, |
all that being said...i would really love to sit in on a whelp of a very well researching and amazing breeder just to see them at work and stand back in awe of the experience. no one denies that puppies are amazing and i myself have helped out barn cats in the whelping process as young as 10 years old, but those were strays that happened upon my porch and had kittens, NOT my beautiful yorkshire terrier baby girl and her life at stake, i just wouldn't do that to her, but i'd love it if anyone in the area would offer to let me see what they do, not to learn breeding just to see for amazement. DEB SILLARS WHERE ARE YOU?? ;) |

Hey Sasha good luck with the next week and enjoy the quietness for now...LOL...Diamond is going back to the vet next week for a x-ray to do measurments to ensure that she can birth the pups and that evrything is ok and then we will also get a accurate count! She is currently 8.6 lbs and yeah she only weighed 6 lbs starting off. We are on day 47 right now and I did post a new belly pic today! Keep in touch and good luck my friend! |

Then there was the time I went to Baltimore to help Johnny Bradley with a litter...she actually had two due about 3 days a part..we were up all night, needed the vet and had to go out in an ice storm..came home with 3 nice pups and a sectioned mom..both of us were dead on our feet...and the other bitch got in her box and started pushing as we went in the bedroom.....we were up the rest of the day...all went well... I could sure write a book about crazy whelpings... |
Pat that is one book I would definitely buy. |
