I need to find...... can you help? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

ruskeerm · 10-05-2006, 02:39 AM

Who is to say that I'm a new owner! I have two yorkies Lily is 3 and 1/2 lbs and Daisy who is 7 lbs. I love them very much so I really don't appreciate all the negative talk as if I don't know how to care for my yorkies! Lily obviously would die if impregnated this is why I don't own a stud! And to me 3 1/2 lbs. qualifies a teacup! So what if my terminology isn't up to your standards. How snooty are you guys anyways? I thought this was a forum for those who love their Yorkies!? Not a forum full of yuppies! Anyway Daisy looks like she would like to have some company cause lily is much older, so I thought she might like to have some pups. This is the reason why I asked my simple initial question..... Does anyone know of a breeder here in southern California? Daisy does have all of her papers so of course a stud withpapers and healthy would be the only choice. So help or don't help, but don't mock my intensions! I care a great deal for my babies and just cause I'm not too keen on your terminology and breeding techniques doesn't mean that I don't take proper care of my girls!

This is a forum for people who love their yorkies. As with any forum you have different personalities that will respond to posts in different manners. I don't think anyone thought you were a bad mom, just not as informed as you really need to be . I apologize if you've been offended by what was posted in response to your question. Do a search on this subject and see what has been posted before and it might give you some insight as to why people responded in the manner they did.

It is posted here often about the term teacup yorkie. What they were saying is true. When someone refers to a yorkie as a teacup (with regard to breeding) it is obvious they haven't done much research. Breeding any animal is a big decision and should not be approached with a cavalier attitude.

If your reason for breeding is to have a companion for Daisy there are other solutions for this. Besides, unless you planned on keeping a puppy at some point they would all go to good homes and Daisy would be back to square one. If you are going to keep a pup as her companion why not just get another pup instead of putting her through a pregnancy? Just a suggestion.

Sorry, I am having a chuckle at your expense...you thought she might like to have some pups??? Seriously?

You have stated you know what you are doing but I think you are not thinking clearly. Even at 7 1/2 lbs you are still putting her life at risk.
Instead of putting up the cost of a stud fee, health testing, vet bills (possible c-section) and whelping supply, why don't you just purchase another yorkie?

Reading back on the posts; no one stated you were a new yorkie owner, but new to breeding. Yes, this is a forum of yorkie lovers, but also here to assit and educate new and existing forum members.

At times people on YT can become very intense on certain subjects (the term Teacups being one such subject,breeding responsibly is another.) Please, please compile all the information you can on this subject, before you attempt breeding, if you haven't already, find a mentor. There are long time reputable breeders on YT that are very experienced, plan every breeding scientifically, studying pedigrees, spend countless hours determining which stud will best compliment their female to improve the breed, but still fear the whelping time for their matrons. So many things can go wrong. Are you really prepared to lose your female and/or puppies. This can happen with the most healthy female.

I agree... why not just purchase another puppy rather than go through all that.

And if it's just companionship that you're specifically looking for for your younger dog, why would you ask specifically for a teacup male for stud?

there is the thread

LOL Now THAT'S a teacup yorkie!!

ruskeerm · 10-05-2006, 05:38 PM

Maybe I should just search out another Yorkie and just buy another instead of breading. I was planning on keeping one or even two of the puppies. we have a big house so there is plenty of room. I guess I was and am still really interested to see what Daisy's pups would look like! She is a beautiful girl and would probably (if mixed with the right lineage) have beautiful babies. Many human families can adopt children as well..... yet they still choose to go through the birthing proccess. I guess I just want to give my girl the same opportunity. Where can I go for breeding research? I still haven't recieved any legitemate info on where I can research different studs in california.?

Thanks

Researching studs and pedigrees is not an easy process. It takes a lot of time, effort and networking. Most reputable breeders/exhibitors use their studs in their own breeding program and if they stud them out it is done on approved bitches. This is done to protect their lines and dogs.

AKC is the place to research pedigrees however, you must have akc registration numbers to do that.

There are several books out on breeding, if you go to AMAZON.Com you can find several there.

Sorry you were jumped on. We all have to learn somewhere. I too love my Baby, but after I read all the work that goes into breeding, and after reading too many stories of how so many furbaby females lost their life shortly after giving birth I said NO WAY! I didn't want to put Baby in that circumstance.

You can search YT (there's a button up top) for TONS of breeding info. I know that Sylvan has posted lots of great info on breeding. If you read it you might think twice!

Whatever you decided, good luck!

I am sorry the everyone one here is such a expert that they have to jump on you for your question....I agree that the term teacup is not such a thing...but guys she ask a question and you would think you could at least have the kindness to just answer what you think with out jumpin or judging her....

Heres one big question to ponder....... Im sure you love her with all your heart but.... Just to see how her pups would look if she had them really worth risking her life? She can die during whelp, she can die from eclampsia, she can die from just about anything that can go wrong.
I have been into yorkies for 17 years no I am not a breeder but I do show, I cant imagine putting any of my girls at risk for puppies, which I can happily buy from a reputable breeder.
Just please think long and hard about doing this.. Is it worth it?
Start your research on breeding by a reputatble breeder that is willing to mentor you.

C'mon yous guys gotta think BIGGER, why just a BIS yorkie when you can get yourself a BISS yorkie.

Try the "Regional" forum section here on this website. I think you can narrow your search down to the California area.

Hope that helps.

Oh, and please read the responses above with a "tough-love" kind of attitude, because they really don't mean harm (although a few of them were a little rude, in my opinion - - poking fun). They just want you to be totally and completely informed before breeding.

Best of luck to you!

I have to add my opinion that all of us pet owners should have our pets spayed/neutered to help control the pet overpopulation problem and lessen the number of unfortunate pets that are being neglected, abandoned, abused and/or euthanized every year.
