Ouch! I saw nothing wrong with the advice she gave you. She was just telling the honest truth. Breeding is not something to be taken lightly and the facts aren't always what you want to hear or pleasant. What she said was very good advice from a very experienced, respected breeder.

I wasn't being condescending nor childish just giving my opinion to an "open" forum. If my opinion is not what you want to hear then so be it but when it's on an open and public forum I guess you leave yourself open to all kinds of advice wanted or not In my opinion the yorkie in question is too young to have a litter of puppies and should be spayed to avoid another accident. Again not condescending but this breeder's opinion

Thank you Bama! Oh well, if good advice falls on deaf ears nothing more I can do

its not that i do not appreciate advice, i do! otherwise i wouldn`t be on here... but putting "by mistake" in inverted comma`s makes it condescending, if its just incorrect use of grammar and that isn`t what you meant then thats different.

[Sugar's Mom]

You shouldn't bee upset by the advice you have been given and comma's don't always mean condescending. For instance, we see far too many "mistakes" here on this board and that is all I am going to say about it. Take it as you will.

To the OP, talk to your vet about the shot. I know that I talked to my vet about it once because of the question that was asked on here and he deals with small breed dogs all the time and is VERY open/honest and knowledgable.

He does NOT recommend the shot to yorkies (or other small breeds) because he said the shot can actually kill some dogs.

Some vets will give it and some will not.
Dont know what my vet would do about it if it was one of mine ,never had an accident happen to me.
But I do know he gave a missmate to a small rat terrier (7 pounds) last year she was bred by a blue healer.Seen the owner this year they live right by the vets,and she had a litter of little rat terriers this summer. I do know it is the same dose for a small dog as a large one.

The commas were not a mis use of grammar "mistake" is what it was I'm assuming by your post and still my advice is to spay the yorkie, pregnant at 8 months is too young period! And the reason I picked this quote is because Sugar would be correct

I was just going to post what you said...glad I decided to go back and read everything....

Yes, the shot has been known to cause adverse reactions; death, render a bitch sterile, etce.....Donna's recommendation of spaying on a bitch this young would be my action.....(nothing condesending at all, just the best recommendation for a young one such as this).

[Mardelin]

Don't know what everyone was so upset about those Inverted Comas are quotation marks.... and Donna was stating her opinion and wanted to be quoted.

Hmmm...that's exactly what I was thinking. I've always known them to be quotation marks and I'm sitting here scratching my head wondering if someone changed the name from quotation marks to "inverted commas"!
