I want another baby like my Sammy! Hello all! I am pretty new around here but I have a few questions and thought this was the place to go first... I have a 4lb 8 month old yorkie male who is the love of my life. He is the sweetest puppy and I am considering getting another for him to play with and have a little companionship. I would really like the new baby to have similar color, size and disposition as my Sammy, so I s considering using him as a stud. He is just my perfect pet, no shows or anything but he does have his paperwork and is registered. Obviously if I were to stud him out I would want a pic of the litter rather than any stud fee, but I really don't know what to expect. Any advice would be helpful! Thanks!! |
the chances are about 1 in 1,000, that that will happen, you are better off going back to the breeder and getting a baby from the same parents.. hugs |
Hi and welcome to YT! Would it be possible to contact the breeder you got your baby from and see if he/she has another pup available for you? Possibly Sam's parents have had another litter? That away you could get what you want, a pup like Sam and not have to stud your little guy out and possibly not get what you are looking for in the end. Just a suggestion. Good Luck.:) |
Thanks for the advice! I am actually ashamed to say I saw Sammy in the window of a puppy store and I couldn't leave without him, but I don't want to contribute any more money to possible puppy mills... As a disclaimer I didn't know too much about the issue when I bought him but I feel guilty for contributing to the industry... Which is why I thought I might breed him and keep a puppy rather than buying another one from the store... Are there any good experiences people have had? |

More importantly, the only breeders you would want to work with on this would not consider breeding Sammy without knowing a lot about his background and having genetic testing done. If you have legitimate AKC papers, you have the means to find his breeder. I really think you would be better off looking for a pup from a good breeder. Much less hassle, and believe it or not, less costly. |
In your view of the situation, you are looking at two scenerios....you have a precious baby that you know is a puppy mill baby....so you want to breed this darling baby, so you can have another puppy, one that you did not contribute money to another puppy mill in order to get. The whole object of the game of breeding, is to, at the very least, maintain the breed standard of the Yorkshire Terrier. Hopefully, responsible, ethical breeders have done enough homework, know for generations, pedigrees and lines and know what can be crossed and mixed so that you get a litter of babies that, at the very least, meet the parameters of the breed standard. You are trying to get the ultimate show dog, as close to perfect as possible. That is not an easy task, and is taken very seriously by ethical breeders. To purchase a puppy from a puppy mill, and then want to breed this baby, not knowing even one generation of what is in the lines behind your baby, is doing the puppies born of such a breeding, and the breed as a whole, an injustice. You also have to be concerned about STD's in your dog and the dog you breed him to. You have to have a competent working knowledge of diseases transmitted by breeding, testing that is required prior to breeding, as well as backgrounds on any female you breed to. You are about to step off in way over your head here, and I think you will do better to find you a responsible breeder, not a puppy mill or a someone that just throws two dogs together and hopes for the best, and get you another baby. Even if you knew who produced your little male, dogs are like kids....they are not alike! and the chances of you getting a baby exactly like the one you have now, is slim. In any event, it is not responsible or ethical for you to breed a puppy from a puppy mill. What registry does your baby belong to? |
You should assume that any and all info your PET STORE gave you is inaccurate...don't breed a pup from a petshop/puppymill/broker/greeder etc., just don't...I'm sorry. Stiick around YT and read up about becoming a breeder if thats what you want. You really need to educate yourself and it is a looong process....take your time and do the right thing...you are not ready yet... Oh and welcome to YT, share some pics of your little guy....folks around here love pics!!!:) |
