Yorkies in heat My baby is a boy but I have a friend who has a little girl that is 1 1/2. She went into heat last summer so we thought sometime this winter she would again and we could introduce our two, but she still hasn't...do some only go into heat once a year, or not at all? What's up with her? We want puppies! :) |
Yes, some only cycle once a year but there are other things to consider than the fact that you and your friend "want puppies". that is entirely the wrong reason to breed. Have both these dogs been tested for any possible genetic faults that might be in their background? Do you know anything about parents, grandparents and etc. What will happen to these babies once you and your friend get yours? Are you prepared to mentor the person that might buy one for the rest of the dogs life? Are you prepared for the changes your male will have once bred? Is your friend prepared to possibly lose her female during the birthing process? |
Hi, Sugars mom,what do you mean changes to the male after breeding,you just struck a nerve with me about Paddy,he used to be fine with all dogs but then he changed not long after he did the naughty thing with my girl Megan, now hes a pain in the a*** when he sees another dog,hes so aggresive! |
Lot's of times after studding, males tend to become more territorial, aggressive--especially with other males, they may begin leg lifting to pee on everything in site. Anytime my female was in heat--despite not even living in the same house as our male--the male would sit by the door or window, wouldn't eat, would pace, pee, shake, whine, and got snappy with the other male--not at all fun. When we were sure his time as a stud was done, we had him neutered ASAP. I also have to agree with another point made...'wanting pupppies' is not reason enough to breed. There is ALOT more to consider before breeding, as mentioned already. I see that you want to breed him just so that you can "get another puppy for free?":( My advice: bite the bullet, save up and buy another one...you will come out ahead in the end. |

We both know there is a lot to consider and we have already considered all of it-I don't know why it was assumed that we hadn't. Anyway, thanks for the answer. |

When you had that little guy neutered did that take care of the problem? I had posted a question a few days ago. My friend, Debbie, has decided to breed her Westies, when I went to visit the other day (Wiggles, the female is in heat) they had had successful ties throughout the weekend. Wiggles made it clear she wanted nothing to do with the poor little guy, and went into her igloo bed to nap. The entire time the poor little guy, Teddy, sat on my lap, and would cry and shake. I was concerned about him, but my friend didn't think it was a big deal. Now Debbie says he's following her around crying and shaking constantly (also he starts yapping at any noise, strange or common), Wiggles is finishing up her heat and will have nothing to do with him. Anyway, she's worried this was going to be a permanent personality change in him. So basically that's why I'm asking if neutering him will turn him back into the sweet, laid-back Teddy Bear he used to be? :) |

No one is saying breeding is bad, but don't enter lightly. You said you've considered all of it, but you didn't know the changes that could very well happen in a stud. Do you know that you pick your stud, by studying, his pedigree, knowing every dog that is behind that stud and what he can improve on the female... Do you know that the flaws that you see in your female, even with the stud that can improve on those flaws, it will take 10 generations overcome the flaws. |

The end a female cyle seems to affect boys the most....I know my boys go wacko, go off food, can't concentrate, do the shaking thing and have one thing on their mind.....They usually settle back after the female comes totally out of their cycle......and are the sweet boys they usually are......Right now I have 3 in Season.....1 bred and 2 too young....My one boy that hasn't been used for stud has no problem (he doesn't know what he's missing)....my other boy, well he's a stud....is back to being wacko...... |
i can tell you my stud started peeing everywhere. i could not catch him doing it, i would just see it and smell it. it was aweful. i tried everything to get him to stop but he wouldn't. it is true they do change. |
I don't really understand how everyone figures I don't know what I am doing...When did I say I didn't know what could happen to the male? I got my baby from two dogs I already know. Plus I am not looking for a show dog. But I do know that we need healthy dogs. |

and another thing. he used to be so good outside in the front yard and play with the neighbors and listen to all of his commands....well after getting some sweet little girl pregnant, his great listening skills went right out the door. he started running away. now that sweet little boy who use to have the privilege of going out in the front yard is confined to the back yard when he goes outside. |

I'll let Debbie know; I think this is the first and last time she breeds, lol. Teddy is absolutely driving her insane. She said she can't even have people over, and that's always been her big thing -- inviting people over for coffee. :) Jess |

Paddysmom asked about the changes, not luvtif. |

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