| Males are capable of producing pups at about 5 or 6 months, but AKC won't accept a litter to be registered unless the male is at least 7 months. In my experience, they don't really have a clue what they're doing until about 15 months and some don't even act interested in a female until they are at least a year. Here's a website with a lot of information about studing, breeding, whelping, etc. www.debbiejensen.com |

| There is a whole raft of info you would need before you think about offering this boy for stud. Is he registered either American Kennel Club or Canadian Kennel Club if you got him in Canada or the US? How big is he and what are his best qualities that he should be reproducing offspring? What are the worst? Does he have any health problems such as slipping patella's, heart problems, and has he been bile acid tested for liver shunt? What does his pedigree look like? Has he been shown to a championship and what about his parents and further back? Do you know the questions to ask the owner of a bitch about their bitch? Are both your male and the female who may be looking for stud service, tested for brucellosis? Ever heard of Canine Herpes or other STD's in dogs that can end your breeding program right now and/or cause illness in your male? |

Most breeders have their own studs. But, there are other things to consider. What I'm about to say, you've already heard.....but, here it goes anyway. Does your stud meet the Yorkshire Terrier Standard. Is he AKC registered, are you completely familiar with his pedigree? Have you had all required tests performed on him, ie. Eyes, ears, heart and blood tested? X-rays performed on his hips and knees? Bile Acids completed? Completely tested for STDs? The female you stud him to must meet all the above too. Are you prepared to assit the owner of the female in the whelping process. Are you prepared to assit the owner in placing any pups should she have difficulty in doing so? Are you prepared to take back any pups that have been placed and the pups need to be rehomed? In addition you must have a good stud contract before studding your dog out. Hope this helps.

| I see that your little guy is only about 4 months old? Luckily you have plenty of time to get the info you need before you decide to stud him out. I would start by finding an experienced mentor who will help you evaluate him as he matures so that you can determine if he even should be used for breeding. Also, there will be a string of tests and screenings you will need to have performed on him first. I would start now by researching stud contracts. Males (and females) shouldn't be used for breeding until they have fully matured as adults and you can evaluate how, as adults, they match up to the standard of the breed. |

| Hello I have been a member for some time, just never posted before. I finally got a yorkie after losing our Judy back in September. He is an absolute joy!! And I'd forgotten what a handful a puppy is. He was born January 25, 2010 so he's almost 5 mths old. His name is Dudley DoRight, however, Dudley is doing wrong here lately,,lolll....I just wanted to introduce myself and my Dud! to everyone. If I can figure out how to put his pic with my profile I will. I came in here looking for "When they can start studding" because omg, he loves his stuffed toys lately. And OUR SHOES!! Can anyone tell me or advise me on how to break him from tearing my shoes apart? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. |

| Hmmm... First of all welcome to YT. I am glad you came her and are asking questions first. Well, you asked so here is an honest answer... Sounds like you have things mixed up if you think he is ready to be used as a stud. Unfortunetly there is a lot to it than just having him hook up with a female in heat. Did you know that the stud owner is just as much responsible for the health outcome of the pups. So if you have one born with say a heart problem and the baby needs an operation, you as the stud owner should come to the help and pay for 50% of it. Yes!! That is right. You just do not collect your stud money and that is it. Secondly, he is way too young to determine if he has the qualities to be bred. As others have stated, he needs to be tested first to make sure he is completly healthy (more than just the usually vet check up is not enough). He needs a full gamit of tests and these are not cheap. Then you need to make sure what his pedigree is. And you need to know the yorkshire terrer standard to see how he measures up to it. Not to mention getting him evaluated by experts. Not to mention that spraying and crying they make while a female is in heat. I would get him neutered!!

| I know many new posters must think we are all snobbish about newbies breeding...but when you love a breed so much you want to do all possible to keep it from being destroyed. Yorkies were number 14 on the AKC list when I started...they are now number 2...I would love to see the Yorkie become 15 again and 25 would make crazy happy!!!...the breed needs protection, it is being bred with anything and everything... |
