But I think it is quite a good project someone put a lot of work into to so they could make a point -- breeding can be a difficult experience for owner and potential parents. It is not for the uninformed, the weak at heart, or someone wanting to make a buck or experience "the miracle."

i have one in mind too. i am quite excited. and am looking forward to sharing my experiances. and asking questions and learing more.

I am looking for a yorkie male but I live on Long Island, NY and I don't know or heard of Moncton. My yorkie female will be 2 yrs old on April 9th but she has not gone into her second heat. She went into her first heat when she was 1 yr and 4 months. I am patiently waiting for this to happen. I have asked before if any one wanted to stud their baby in the Port Jefferson area of Long Island but I didn't keep on asking because nothing has happened.
I have attached a picture of Lexy, She is 10 pounds but a bundle of Love. As you can see she is very well taken care of. We have no children so we treat our pets like our children.

Awww, she's so pretty. You have a 10# bag of sugar for sure. I can't call my boy that anymore. He weighs 11# now. LOL

Jess is in Canada. About the only way to get your two together would be AI. Sylvia

Other 15 year olds are wanting to be doctors -- I hope they are not starting now either.

I wish her well in her future goals. I hope she chooses the right path to get to them.

I couldn't agree more. There are way, way better ways to get your foot in the door, including volunteering at your local vet clinic or animal shelter. Animal shelters do go through having pregnant bitches, and some even try to put the bitch in a foster home before she has the pups. I would NOT recommend taking in a pregnant bitch to experience whelping unless you have a vet that does house calls or an experienced breeder on call to help day or night. Volunteering with your vet would be the best first step you could take, and nothing will substitute for hands on work with a variety of animals (read: breeding your dogs isn't going to give you the experience you need). Call your local vets and animal shelters and ask them about volunteering. In my area, there's only one private shelter that allows volunteers under 18, but some of the other groups will let you volunteer at any age so long as an adult comes in with you to volunteer.

Take the steps now to learn the ethics of being a veterinarian. The Veterinarian Oath says: "I solemnly swear to use my scientific knowledge and skills for the benefit of society through the protection of animal health,
the relief of animal suffering..." Learn to benefit society by not contributing to overpopulation on your way to being a vet, and by protecting the health of the Yorkies you intend to breed and the pups they would have by not breeding dogs that aren't representative of their breed or health tested.

You might look into something like this, too: http://www.vetmed.wsu.edu/clubs_Ofv/

Very well put. If she doesn't come back on and see this I will tell her. Thank you. Sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees. Sylvia
