What would happen if..... Hi, I have a wonderful registered Yorkie girl 6 month old puppy. I have thought of breeding her but have not come to any definate decisions as yet. My question is I have looked as to what the cost for studs were and came across a biewer stud Yorkie that is regestered ibc germany. And I had a though what would happen if you bred a typical Yorkie with a biewer? Is this something that is a complete no no? I live in the UK and just happen to be near a town where there is a biewer breeder she always seems to have a couple of puppies for sale, they are very expensive and had thought that I would get a puppy from her at a later date if she was still breeding in a couple of years. This was more of a curiosity question then anything. I appreciate your responses.... Thanks. |

I'm sorry what does bump mean? :) |
The Biewer is a separate breed from the Yorkshire terrier. If you bred the two the pups would probably look like a yorkie but I don't think they could be registered with either registry. In the United States we have parti-yorkies that look like the Biewer but they are actually registered as Yorkshire Terriers. It gets complicated. |

Some believe in breeding biewer to biewer and some use yorkies. While the pups couldn't be registered as yorkies they would have to be registered as biewers. Sound like you need to speak to other biewer breeders to see which registries would register them. |
First off, why do you truly want to breed your girl? Do you know her lineage? Are you prepared to have all of the proper health tests done? Genetic testing? Do you have a breeder mentor? Do you have any experience with the birth process? These are just a few important questions that you'll want to have positive answers for. There is SO much more involved with being a proper breeder than just saying "I have a cute, well behaved female who isn't fixed an I know someone with a cute male- we should make puppies!" I know that there are reputable breeders on this forum who would be able to help you with more of the neccessary details but there is a heads up on some things to think about. Welcome to YT and congrats on your new pup! :) |
http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/bre...t-breeder.html http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/bre...-answered.html Here are two articles found in our YT library that might help you to clarify your thinking on this subject. And it is refreshing to hear you are doing your research first! Breeding is not for the "faint of heart" for sure. The emotional cost is very high, particularly if your bitch has problems, young newborns die after doing all you can for that wee soul. There is no preparation for the pain you will experience, all you can do is your ultimate best to insure a safe, healthy whelp and puppy rearing. And all you can do covers a whole lot of territory, as the above articles reference. Are you a member of the Yorkshire Terrier Breed club in England? If not, why not? You are thinking of breeding, therefor go to the breeder experts who are members of this club. The breeder who sold you this gal; did they do so with the understanding you "might like to breed her'? At six months old she is just ready to be evaluated by judges and breed experts to see if she is worthy of being bred. Have you done the preliminary health screening, which at this point would include BATS. Also does your current vet think she is clear of LP? There are many more tests to come; some of which can not be done until she is at least 2 yrs old. I do know England doesn't have the expanse of health registries we have in NOrth America, but IMO you need to breed healthy to healthy at the minimum. And their is the health lineage to consider as well. Show breeders will tell you that there is no reason to breed other than to improve the breed! If you want to know about the health problems of Yorkies just go to our Sick and Emergency Forum to educate yourself. As a breeder when you sell your puppies to future buyers, are you prepared to support that buyer over the lifetime of your puppy? What happens when one of your puppies gets ill after being in their new home for only a few weeks. It is a congenital heart, or hip, or liver condition. |
