Not in regards to breeding, but just topics in general, I believe you when you mix thousands of people together there is bound to be disagreement and arguments. Some people are very passionate about their opinions almost to the point that they cant possibly consider other's opinions or ideas. So, over the years, I have learned if there is anything I want to say to offer assistance, i do it via pm from a fear of being bashed. Although that has never happened to me here I see it alot! Which i guess in the long run is very sad since this is a format where we are supposed to share ideas and learn from each other. Isnt it ironic?:D |

I use to just keep on attempting to answer their questions by responding with my answers in different ways, it hopes that my responses weren't getting through because of the way I was communicating. Now, when that happens, I know that I won't continue attempting to change their minds and contribute to a newbie's irresponsible breeding practices. I respond with "I'm done", go the top and unsubscribe to that particular thread. |

Do you know the statistics on birthing problems within this breed? The incidence of genetic defects within this breed? If you go into breeding this girl, then go into it with your eyes wide open. There will not be much joy for you or potential new owners of your pups with problems such as LS, MVD, Leggs Perthe, LP, and all sorts of other conditions that could present. We are the caretakers and guardians of every dog we own, it is our responsibility to keep them out of harm's way, to nuture, to love these amazing creatures. And know this that breeding any female, no matter how healthy put's them at risk. I hope that you stay on this site to read and learn, to re-evaluate and constantly question your desire to breed. |

Sasha I'm confused. Do you mean that you are breeding your female because you want another Yorkie? If this is true, why not adopt a rescue? There are so many Yorkies all over North America looking for a loving and good home. It would be so great if you could do that. The costs of adoption are so reasonable, and you to a large extent know what you are getting. All health checks done, upto date on shots, etc. Then no need to risk your female with breeding her, just neuter, and adopt and have two Yorkies to love and pamper. Truly it is so much more economical to adopt, then to go through the risky and expensive process of breeding. |

[I was one of those people that came wanting to learn. My Yorkies are my life, And I am very grateful to the responsible breeders on this site and my mentors.] I too am very thankful for this website. I did a load of reading and talking with breeders and going to shows before acquiring my little ones..... but things still come up that you haven't encountered before and it is great to have this site to come & be able to ask if others have had similar experiences. I however do sometimes hesitate to post ...... but in the end - I would hate to lose this resource. It's invaluable. |

Hey Stranger, What have you been up to? How are your girls? Have you started showing yet? |

Anyway to clear up something I said reputable breeders find good homes for their females. I have only had to rehome one of my females and that was due to keeping her from attacking and possibly seriously hurting my other Yorkies. She lost an entire litter because of a vets ignorance. She is now very happy being the only dog in her new home. Personally My female that I have now there is no way I would ever let her go anywhere even after she is done breeding. I hope the best for your female and the pups your expecting. I really hope all goes well for you also. But as far as I am concerned I am done with this discussion and for now on will only reply to people who are serious about breeding for the betterment of the breed and not for personal needs. |

I hope that those kind of breeders DO read the strong responses and think twice before posting. Or even better yet, that it comes across so strongly that they think twice before breeding their dog without proper preparation and breeding education. |

Sasha in this same thread you posted that you would love to breed her, and that you have already bred her. Which is it? You seem to be making it up as you go along. Disingenuous at the minimum . You have got lots of advice whatever the "truth" of the situation is. I am done with this thread - prevaricators are not worth the time of my day, |
Quote:
Sasha, you say that you didn't know the risks and you didn't find out until after you bred her, but then in another post you turn around and claim that you have experience, a mentor and have done your research. If the latter is true, then you would have been aware of the risks. Then you change again stating that you learn as you go and everyone starts somewhere. It seems to be quite contradictory, depending on which point you are trying to make at the time. |
Here's what I have never been able to figure out. When people post about something we view as mistreatment of their dogs--leaving them outside during extreme heat/cold, not getting them proper vet care or medical treatment when needed, everyone gets upset and is quick to jump in. Because ultimately, it could result in the dog's death or cause pain and suffering. And that's OK, because it's in the best interest of the dog. UNTIL it comes to breeding. Then it's not OK to speak up for the dog. Same risks are there, but then and only then, we should bite our tongues and keep quiet. :confused: Now explain that logic. I'd be willing to be that if someone came on here posting about how they beat their dog, or left them out in freezing conditions, you wouldn't see these same comments saying "just be nice...the damage is already done." |

There is no logic to it. Nevva a scintilla of reason. I think that somehow despite our educated mindset, there is the nature thing. Ya know - how wonderfull to let and even encourage animals to be animals. Get a female pregnant no worries, after all Nature will take care of everything. Somehow there are no risks in anyones' mind about getting a female dog pregnant. Everthing will go as Nature intended. Somehow the reasoning that posters present, oh she is so lovely/beautifull/precious, I just "want" her to experience giving birth, "I" want her to experience puppies and to have another precious puppy just like her, I want my kids to experience birth, I want , I want , I want. I want as if that is Justification for putting your female dog at so much risk. I want as if that is reason enough to put into this world puppies, that need so much, that need to find a home after the whelping is done. I WANT is no NO reason to breed. |

That's another of those 'excuses' that magically only seems to apply when it's convenient to justify breeding your dog. Wonder how many of the other aspects of the dog's life, or the owner's life they use that logic to dictate. Not many I'm guessing. |

WOW I sure miss alot when I'm gone to a dog show.... What I see is this......for those of us that are passionate and love this breed probably more than our own life is to say it's ok for one to do what one wants with their dog...well I for one will always be an advocate for this breed and if you don't like what others or I have to say or think we're rude then just put me and the others on ignore BUT when you do, it's not us or our dogs that lose valuable information and or advice it's you and your yorkies that will suffer. These are living and breathing creatures that need to be put first just like our human kids and if one thinks harm is coming their way then by goodness expect a mother to protect their young! I, for one, will protect this breed with passion and heart and if you don't like what advice is given then move on. I'm tired of playing nice like some want us to do...I will continue to say exactly what I think and take it or leave it PERIOD!!! Donna |

Sasha my apologies on the misquote. |
Is it just me, or does it seem that there has been an up tick in the number of people coming on here and their first post is a question about breeding? Does no one buy or rescue a dog just to be a pet anymore? |
