Breeding yorkie Hello all just bought two female Yorkies to breed I currently have a male yorkie who’s gonna be 1 this month what’s the best way to get the two females pregnant? The male is 11 pounds and looks like the females are half the size any tips would be great. |
Spay and neuter. If you have to ask this question you should not be breeder. Your male is to large. Breeding should be done to better the breed meaning the songs you breed should be perfect examples of the breed. If you don’t know what you are doing you are risking your females life. The male should also be smaller then the females and genetic testing should be done. Although I highly doubt you want advise and are here to upset. |
Have you ever done any breeding? Doesn’t sound like it I don’t think people should breed teacups Yorkies should be much bigger making them much more healthier 16 lbs was the average weight before breeders starting breeding to make teacup Yorkies |

I wouldn't allow the females to be in the same home as the male, until he has been fixed. Ditto, any other male dogs in the home. The females and the male can be severely injured in the mating process. Yorkie mamas can and do have a hard time giving birth. To reduce the loss of life, folks who do breed, match smaller males with larger females. Even when the male and female are properly sized for mating, the result is too often devastating. Here's a thread you should read--all the way to the end. YorkieX, "40 days in and I feel like she's way too big??" |
May I ask why do you want to breed them? |
I believe I could breed larger Yorkies not as show dogs but more for companionship hopefully sell them for a good price to put money down on a nice acreage where I can have more room to breed more dogs |

You wanted advice and you have been given the best advice there is. You may not want to listen to this advice because it will not bring you the financial rewards you are seeking. But think about where you asked for this advice. No offense meant but we don't give a rat's rear end about your acreage. This advice is in the absolute best interest of the yorkies. It is given by extremely knowledgeable people who have seen the cruel effects of what you want to do. It is advice not given to hurt you but given to help the poor yorkies you want to benefit from. They are not machines to be used and tossed to the side. They are sentient beings who feel happiness, pain, loneliness, jealousy and the whole gamut of emotions. I hope you listen to the people here. They are not saying do not breed. They are saying to please do this in a responsible and humane manner. A male twice the size of the female is just plain cruel. There are many threads on this site that discuss breeding and give excellent advice. Find a mentor. Know what to expect during the whelping process. I hope you do the right thing for the dogs' sake. |

Everyone is ganging up well I see the true colours of people when asked for help Why crucify someone who is trying to start a legitimate business I’ve been open and honest I think it’s good to buy a acreage because it will be harder to breed Yorkies from my 1 bedroom apartment I have to keep them in a crate at all times and with a acreage they will be free to roam please try to support my endeavours with honest and thoughtful advice |

We have been very honest and very thoughtful. Keeping a dog in a crate at all times? Now I am confused. Are you just trying to raise the ire of the good people on this board? Or are you really a rotten SOB? Either way you are being blocked so I will never have to hear from you again. |

2 Attachment(s) I wasn't going to reply, but this thread is getting kinda "wonky" and it doesn't appear that any breeders have posted. Since I did breed a few litters many years ago, I thought I'd take the plunge. Several years ago, I bred a few litters - I started off like many - I had a healthy AKC bitch that met the AKC standard in both size and color and bought a male that also met the standard. I was lucky, in that I never lost a mom or a pup. At that time there were many active AKC "show" breeders who very much looked down upon hobby breeders like myself. I was also lucky in that I was only ignorant and not stupid. You see, ignorance can be fixed through education, but stupid is forever and is terminal. Once I learned through the many wonderful breeders that used to frequent YT the REAL reason for breeding -- to better the breed -- I stopped breeding my pets, and had them spayed. Shelters are full of "pets" including yorkies because of irresponsible and uneducated breeders who just want to have pups. THE GOAL OF ALL BREEDING SHOULD BE TO BETTER THE BREED and to stay within breed standards. I was also lucky in that I had a neighbor who had contacts with some of the top Yorkie Breeders in the USA - Vicki Meadows and Anna Stringer became two of my mentors. I started over, doing things the right way this time. I started with one female, Lollie, (whose father, Jack, was the #1 yorkie in America the year she was born) - spent the time and big bucks to finish her conformation championship which was just the first step in proving her worth as a breeding animal. After health tests determined that she was in fact fit to breed, my Lollie was bred to a male who was also a champion. Lollie was bred twice, had 3 female pups and 3 male pups out of which 4 are champions and two are cherished pets. My second bitch, Lacie was out of the last litter of a male named Trip - one of the top champion producing Yorkies EVER. After finishing Lacie's championship, I chose to not breed her as my life had changed. All of that to make the following points. In order to be a responsible and ethical breeder you should first: 1) Educate yourself in regards to the entire process, from selecting appropriate breeding stock, testing, the actual breeding process, taking care of both gravid bitches and breeding males. You also need to be well educated on the birthing process and taking care of the pups. 2) You need a mentor to help you through #1 above. 3) Understand that the many hours spent, is a labor of love and you stand to lose your bitch and the pups and will very well wind up losing $$ in the process. If you have to ask about how to get your bitches pregnant, you simply are not ready to have a pregnant bitch. Below are two pics of my Lacie - she is a prime example of quality breeding stock. |
Clarification.... Sometimes it is very easy to give folks the wrong impression when using the written word. I want to be perfectly clear so that there aren't any misunderstandings..... I love all yorkies - big, small, registered or not, meeting the AKC standard or not. The whole point behind my post was 100% entirely and completely about the suitability and selection for breeding. When I learned I was doing things the wrong way, I stopped, regathered and got myself on the right track so that I could breed Yorkies in a responsible manner. Then I came to understand, that even though my girls were "proven" to be suitable for breeding, it was still WRONG to product more pups to add to the dog over-population. |
Thank you for your reply I’ll take that into consideration you have been very courteous where I’m from we don’t have a overpopulation of stray dogs it is very hard to adopt any because they are picked up quickly I believe if I start breeding myself I can help the market I believe there is a shortage of dogs especially Yorkies and they do fetch for a pretty penny I’ll start small with the two bitches and shoot for a litter a year and as I sell I’ll purchase a few more bitches to breed hopefully I’ll have more space then like a acreage where I’ll be able to open a much larger breeding facility producing 5-7 litters a year. |

Educate yourself about the entire process -- if you don't know how to get your females pregnant, you are NOT ready to start a breeding operation. Please be part of the solution and NOT part of the problem. |
No no no not a puppy mill I detest those more of a one stop Yorkie facility where I can make adopting a yorkie easier cut through the red tape |

And if you haven't done your research, had your breeding stock evaluated and tested for suitability, then it is simply a way to make $$ off of this glorious breed. Either be part of the solution or part of the problem. |
Those breeders can make it hard for people to purchase Yorkies with their rules and high prices I would like to cut through that red tape and streamline so that if you got the money you can have your choice of yorkie the screening process for the other process is a deterrent to people plus they charge triple the amount for the same product |

Like I said before here there is no problem with overpopulation of dogs they sell for a premium I’ve had a lot of interest in this and it does bring a healthy profit |

If a dog gets sick the owners need to take it to a vet it’s insane to blame the breeder I will only breed healthy dogs |
