Anyone breed their male yorkie and keep one of pups Hey I am considering getting another yorkie in the future. Wondering if anyone breed their yorkie male and kept of of the males from the litter. I think it would be adorable to have his son ( if there is a male in the litter) if so how do they get along? Is this a bad idea? |

A lot more goes into breeding then just getting a pup. The male can start marking all over the house and have other issues from being bred. Also only excellent examples of the breed that you know the lines of should be bred. My opinion is to just buy another pup. |

I have 2 male pups from my Sydney (he's 11 yrs.) that I ended up keeping from my 2 girls. Sage is 5 yrs. and Skittles is 3 yrs. If you are hoping that they will be good buddies, don't count on it. Syd does not care for any of the other dogs, my 3 girls either, he's pretty grouchy, does not like sharing beds, food, anything. When Sage was a pup, he pretty much put him in his place, then one day Sage realized, hey I'm twice as big as him, so the fight was on. Sage is about 8lbs. and Syd is only 4, so now they have to be kept separated at all times, since Syd always starts it with his growling at Sage. For some reason, he has always tolerated Skittles, not friendly but pretty much ignores him, maybe because Skittles is almost identical to his dad, even weighing the exact same amount. Now Sage and Skittles are good buddies, being half brothers, they play, sleep in a bed together and get along just fine, so you never know how it will work out. |
I think the idea of having father and son is appealing when you look at it from a human point of view. In reality, I do not think that dogs (and especially males) recognize their children after a certain amount of time. For example, if a male dog sires a litter and is removed from that litter for a matter of weeks, it will not then recognize its offspring upon reintroduction. There may be someone who knows more about this than me and will jump in to clarify or correct, but that is my understanding. Therefore, as tempting as it sounds, I would not entertain breeding my dog for the purpose of having its offspring around. I would be more inclined to consider the purchase of another dog from different lines. There is just no guarantee that animals will get along so it is always a gamble when introducing new animals to existing! It takes a brave soul! |
