Thanks for your comment, but no thanks......

I agree. Just do all the research you can and be sure to have a vet that is ready to help in case something does go wrong. These are the kind of posts that had me so scared I could not sleep at night. Good luck with the puppies

She recommended the same thing for me when I posted Sadie's pregnant. I think NO!

No one was born knowing how to whelp puppies. Everyone had to start with their first litter and even experienced breeders lose Dams and puppies.

have you ever seen a dog that was pregant be spayed i have an it was because i was a vet tech an i saw the sac that they were in an they were fully formed an i do not agree with it at all the vet i worked for was a jerk an he knew she was carrying puppies it was all about money to him an that is why we parted ways as that is not why i became a vet tech i could not held seeing dogs murdered on a daily basic an dumped in garbage bags an then incernerated . If you are going to breed your animal you should be very responsible an be prepared for everything that can happen i am awaiting puppies an it scares the heck out of me as this is her first an only litter i will be so glad when it is over an done

I was very scared to but I am ok now. I have a mentor, a good vet and we had the ultra sound that let us know she is having three puppies. It does not help to hear about how your putting your dog in danger or the puppies could die. Try to stay positive and calm. remember dogs have been having puppies since the start of time. pm me if you need to talk.

Very well said. I do not think spaying a pregnant Yorkie, thereby causing the death of her puppies is good advice in this situation. It would truly be a horrible thing to ever have to do...my heart would go out to anyone who was in a situation that compelled this decision.

Her dog is already pregnant...I hope and pray her puppies and the momma make it through well. Just the same as I hope for everyone who posts about their dog being pregnant...regardless of if I agree about the decision to breed in the first place.

What a breath of fresh air to see intelligent non-argumentative helpful posts on such a controversial subject.

Thank you. for your comments, i was a little hurt when i seen the posting and couldnt believe my eyes when i read it. But I have to remember not everyone is on here to help. Some people have to be negative to get through life.

yorkietweetie, I wasn't just being horrible and pinickity; I have asked you questions in both threads that are relevant and helpful... Can you still get in touch with their breeders; if they are reputable, I imagine they will be more than willing to give you the info...
It was completely out of line for an automatic response to this particular situation to tell you to spay- but I have seen situations where it was, or would have been, the best option... To me, the life of the mother is always more important- but this isn't supposed to be an abortion debate and the father is a yorkie to so unless your girl is a tiny and him huge I doubt she'll Need a spay!

But I don't think we should take anything for granted when literally dealing with life or death and I Do think it is necessary to point out everything that can go wrong if the breeder hasn't already came across it...
Eg. There was a woman I know of a while back who bred her yorkie so her and her kids (4 and6 I think) could see the miracle of birth; out of a litter of 5 only one survived- 2 had no backend and where therefor Very stillborn, one was far too small and died a few hours later, and another (because she let the dog cut the cords) had the cord ripped off rather than cut and bled out from it's tummy... The mother then took infections and was in intensive care for weeks.

A horrible story I know, but she had assumed all would be textbook and had the worst day of her life, and it was only because she was told the signs of an infection in advance that she saved her girl. I didn't say this to be horrible or scare you, but you all have to realise (this isn't just directed at you yorkietweetie, but 1st time breeders on general) that so much can go wrong, an after countless years of breeding, the more experienced on this site have seen a lot and worry about what will go wrong from time to time to different members, and more importantly, their dogs- (hopefully Never again to the extent above) so make sure to read up on everything that could go wrong- with any luck if you know it all, you won't need it!

After-all, if I want a sunny day, I just need to take a big bulky umbrella with me!!

And a sidenote- bitsy, hats off to you!
