| I need to find...... can you help? I need to find a tea cup yorkie stud for my yorkie. She is a full size and I wanted to breed her with a tea cup. Does anyone know where I could find a male tea cup stud here in southern california? What do stud fees normally run? Thanks |

Stud fees can vary from region to region and the quality of the stud, it's linage/pedigree/championship. There is much more to breeding that just finding a stud for your girl. Your girl must be genetically free of any STD diseases and free from genetic defects that could very well be passed on to her offspring. The same with the stud.

| There is no such thing as a tea cup. IMO, if you are unaware of that and what stud fees normally include, you are a long way from where you need to be BEFORE you consider breeding your female. |

Just to point one thing out though, you can't qualify yourself enough just by reading on YT. If this person doesn't know there is no such thing as a tea cup, honestly, how much research do you think has been done so far? Enough to be actively looking for a stud for breeding purposes? I wouldn't think so. I know alot of time sthe 'teacup' issue is blown out of hand. And when you are a Yorkie lover and even owner, I really don't give it a second thought, but when you are breeding and you refer to them that way...kind of makes you step back and think, know what I mean? I guess maybe my answer was a bit harsh sounding? Sorry if it was, I guess it was just too 'to the point.' I'm sure I will be flamed for it, not that anyone will dispute what I said, just how I said it more than likely. | |

| Stud Well its obvious we have another one that thinks cause you have a female if you find a tiny male and breed then you have great tiny Yorkies- WRONG- IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT It takes years of researching and doing to know how to match a stud dog to the right female- Pedigrees are what matter. Well one of the things that matter. A tiny stud DOES NOT guarantee tiny dogs- it just doesn't!!!!!!! I have one boy that weighs just over 5 lbs and every litter of his has puppies that mature to 3 lbs and usually one that is 5+ lbs- Have a 3 lb boy that has nothing but 5 to 7 lb babies. Both throw great confirmation, coat and color but to breed for size is wrong. I wish the poster good luck but do wish that more research and the using of a mentor would be the way to go. This is just my opinion but I really get fired up when someone contacts me and asks if they can use my studs case " they have this darling girl and they want one litter " By the way- before you comment on that let me say - For a number of reasons I do not breed any dogs but my own- health wise and pedigree wise.

It angers me when I hear people say they want to breed to recoup their money they shelled out to purchase their dog. Or, they want to have puppies so their kids can learn about the birthing process, or so their friends/family can have a puppy, PLEASE..........If they only knew what it takes to ensure their breeding stock is healthy, assist in the whelping, and rearing of a new litter. The lack of sleep and maybe the heartache of loosing your matron and/or puppies. The other thing that bothers me is when perspective new owners contact me and ask for specifics on a dog......like you can press a button and out pops exactly what you want. Heck! I have my pups freeze dried on a shelf, with specifics labled and water it when someone asks for those specifics. If only I could......Heck! I'd water one for myself......labled BEST IN SHOW.

The best call was one my breeder received just a couple of weeks ago. The person was inquiring if she had any pups available. My breeder informed her it would be approximately 12-14 weeks before she had anything available, as she had a matron ready to whelp in the next couple of days. The person asked her how much the puppy would weigh at adult hood. Now think, my breeder has been breeding yorkies for 35+ years, she's good, but I don't think she's that good to be able to estimate the puppies weight before it is born.

| From what I've read, breeding a tiny male to a larger female, odds are you'll be getting tiny females and larger males. You don't get "in between" sizes. Having tiny females is no pic-nic if you plan to sell them. Everyone wants them, but if they're bred, it's usually very dangerous to the female (and the babies). Also, even of they're NOT bred, not many people can't resist giving them tidbits of people food that their little systems cannot handle. Trust me, if you breed, you'll fall in love with every puppy you have and worry about how they're being cared for. There are several good books on breeding toy dogs and they could save you a ton of money and heartache. Hope this helped a bit. |

| Yorkies referred to as allegedly teacups by uninformed and not very reputable breeders are actually undersized representatives of the breed. No true Yorkie fancier would ever consider purposely breeding them or breeding for them nor using them for stud. An undersized dog of any breed and particularly a toy breed such as the Yorkie, will most of the time present with a myriad of health problems causing astronomical Vet bills. Some live a long life many don't. Here is more info from the Yorkshire Terrier parent club Yorkshire Terrier Club of America. http://www.ytca.org/faq.html#A I agree with many of the posts here, you better be well versed in what you are doing before you ever begin to think of breeding your girl. The risks to her life are always there when a bitch is bred and whelping a litter. You have to be prepared in the event of losing your bitch, losing bitch and puppies, problems in rearing meaning you are up tending to puppies around the clock every 90 minutes for about three weeks. There is a large responsibility in breeding responsibly. |
