Breeding is not bad at all..........as to why do people do it-there are many reasons. Some to improve the breed or a line, some breed for themselves looking for their next championship. Others to make money, others because "they want babies from his/her dog", then you have the ones who mix breeds and sell "designer dogs" and the list goes on and on. You are just starting. Get all the education out of the way and be successful. What are the benefits you ask? For the show breeders/exhibitors-making a difference in maintaining, improving and protecting the breed, getting their next CH. For the BYB and Puppymills........$$$$$ |

I think you guys need to stop being so harsh, worry about the people out there breeding yorkie with chihuahua or other "Designer" pups. She stated she is not breeding for show quility and the pups could be sold as afordable PETS! I wanted a yorkie for the longest time and could not afford one till I found mine for $500. I wasn't looking for a show dog but for a pet. There is a BIG difference and you all know that with ANY! breeding you may not get that perfect pup. and you also know that there are health concerns with any Dog and any breeding is dangerous! Even us as humans are in danger when we decide to have a child! BUT WE ALL STILL DO IT! Cause to benefits out wiegh the risks! As long as she is breeding within standards then pick on someone else! I however will find the perfect line and best background as posable cause I want to start Showing the breed, Not breeding for money, Breeding for show quality pups.!!!!! |

I don't feel anyone was being harsh, just factual. Anyone considering breeding should begin with the idea of breeding the best, whether show breeder or not. |

If you did your research as you claim, then I am sure you are also aware of this: You state that the breeding pair that produced your male also produced a 22 pound dog? Hmmm...that kind of genetic background isn't what you want in a stud. That could very easily put the life of the female you want to breed to at risk. But of course, you knew that, right?;) |

She thinks it's cool that I really want to begin showing, but when I told her that I want to find a mentor and start going to shows regularly, she didn't even understand why. Lol, to her they are 'just dogs', you brush them -- do some training, and that's about it. (or at least that's all she thinks should be involved.) She loves them, but she's not passionate, does that make sense?? :) |

Perfect sense.....I don't agree with her way of thinking, but I do understand it. |

Secondly, the pair that made my baby is not the same pair that made the 22 pound yorkie. (Just the dad is the same and he is tiny). Plus the owner of that big puppy feeds him way too much. It is not all genetic. I knew that girls normally went into heat twice a year. I just wanted to know if any of your own babies only did once a year, but I guess I won't bother with any questions on here anymore---thanks for helping out a fellow yorkie owner...:mad: |

BamaFan121 was attempting to help you and provide you input. You called her untruthful when she questioned you. She or anybody would not stand back and allow that.. Sorry you didn't get the answers you were expecting. But, if you were looking for sugar coating, the questions shouldn't have been asked. You said that you knew that females come into Season twice a year, but in your original question you didn't know.....every yorkie female is different, some every 6, some 8, some 10, some once a year. There is no difference in saving money for a new yorkie and breeding one to aquire one. You should have enough money put away for an unexpected emergency vet trip in the middle of the night to have those puppies delivered or to save the dam's life......Sometimes alot more money than buying a new puppy. The difference is you aren't the one risking the females life. 22 pound yorkie, 15 pounds over the maximum weight for a standard yorkie is not just a bit overweight due to being overfed, the yorkie is huge..... People here are more than willing to help if you really want to go about breeding the right way |

And yes Mardelin, I agree. There is NO way a Yorkie is 15 lb over the limit only because it is overfed.:rolleyes: |
