Female advice needed I have a (BIG) boy, he is 9lbs.:) I want to get a female yorkie, so I can breed (and so my boy's got company) What weight would you recommend her to be? I know if she's too small, its way too risky. |
What is the weight standard for the Yorkshire Terrier in your country? |

Its 7lbs, so he is slightly over :) |
Your boy is a good bit over the standard (not to exceed 7 lbs). So chances are, any girl you breed to him would be as well. You would be breeding dogs that are considerably off standard-- NOT recommended. The size of a female alone would not decrease the "risk" factors. There are lots and lots of factors that make breeding "risky." I would suggest that you just be happy with the loving dog that I'm sure your boy is and enjoy him, and any companion you decide to add as PETS. |
You would want to get a female in the 10 to 12 pound range...but breeding Yorkies in this size range will produce even larger Yorkies..so expect 12 to 14 pounders..basically doubt the standard.... |

It is best not to breed him to a bitch. As mentioned earlier, size is not the only issue here. As far as I know, Yorkies standard weight range is between 4 and 7 pounds. It is hard to find a female bigger than your male. Besides, you may have to find a good line to breed. So just enjoy your little boy, have him neutered and love him all you can:) |
I recommend getting him neutered as well, enjoy him as your pet. If you breed him, he'll change from your little boy and turn into a "man"...and who would want that? Enjoy him as a pet :D |
