Stickey post?
 

What do you guys think if I ask Admin to Sticky the Early S/N post? I think there is some good stuff on there. This is in the breeders forum and maybe would help breeders make the decision if they are considering it.

Great idea! :thumbup: :thumbup: Lots of info there.

I also wish we had a sticky about literature and websites that would give a first time breeder alot of good info. Its so hard for anyone to cover every little aspect completely. It would benefit those who have an "accident" that we hear alot about on here. Whether we like this kind of breeding or not, it does happen and its up to us to do the right thing and help anyone and their yorkie who may need us.

Honestly, I don't see the point. Most breeders who early breed know what they are doing. Those who let the new owners do this procedure have a lot of archives to search through! I don't see how it would help being a sticky, when you can search!

I don't see any harm in a sticky that would give a first time member or "viewer" of the forum a place to start when i know alot of folks are not always ready to just jump in, but are looking for info, fast!

I don't see why not! There is a lot of good info in there especially for any potential first time breeders.

With the Yorkie getting so diluted because of bad breeding (I'm always thinking of the mass amount of ads on puppyfind) I want to be somethign that new breeders shoudl also consider at least. It's too easy nowadays for someone to buy a puppy with 'limited' registration. I see some CKC puppies being sold for more than some AKC puppies. Beacuse CKC ignores AKC limited reg. I dont' know what you guys think, but I sure woudl like to see some control of this over populating.

I TOTALLY agree! When I see ads like that I wonder if I'm charging enough! ;)

I just don't understand what putting a sticky on something like that, has to due with irresponsible breeders. Seriously, I don't think that particular thread was started to help cut down on unscrupulous people with no morals. If I am wrong please correct me, but the thread starter said she wanted to know if this was healthy for a small young pup, not if it would stop cross registration of litters...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have wanted to start a thread about this for a while and it came up again tonight in a couple of threads with breeders rightfully concerned about protecting their lines.

I just wondered about how the procedure, for example, is different, if it is, for a puppy under 12 weeks, at what age or weight do they consider it safe, are the risks greater than for an older puppy, and that sort of thing? I know that the breeders who do this are concerned about the health and well being of their babies so I know they would not risk their health un reasonably but I know that I am petrified of putting my tiny dogs at 8 months under aneshtesia much less a young pup under a lb.

Hefner was under a lb when I got him at 12 weeks and he was already neutered.

My feelings on neutering are well known on here and I really am not looking for a debate about this but just the facts and any studies that anyone is aware of that prove this procedure is safe for young puppies.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

That's why I think it doesn't need a sticky! JMHO!!!

It has nothing to do with irresponsible breeders Monet. It went from a basically good idea to prices, registries, ect. Now I say forget it.

I have to agree, I think the OP of the Early S/N post thread is anti-spade/neuter. I don't think this thread would help with the issue of stopping bad breeding. JMO

here is the only early spay/neuter thread I found. :confused:

http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29229

The registries are just to show how breeders that feel they want to protect their puppies by asking for limited registration are not really protected. For examply, UKC from what I understand ignores AKC limited reg too. I could be wrong but when I heard that that's what prompted me to just spay and neuter. It really has nothing to do with prices or registries but the fact that puppies you produce are still at risk to be bred buy someone. They don't have to register with anything to still do the samething.

Ok don't sticky it. Just thought it would help those that wanted to know if it's safe or not.

It's just providing facts for those that were considering it nor not considering it.

I'm not real sure what a sticky is but am assuming it's a permanent place here for the thread. Since this question is brought up so much, I personally think it would be of benefit to have it handy somewhere that people could refer to.
