How much do your dogs weigh?

Keep them separated, and get them fixed!

Please have them spayed and neutered. Why would you want to breed mixed breed dogs?

a lot of people breed mixed dogs, my sister used to breed, but she always bred morkies, never had a problem selling them..you know there is only one purebred dog that was never bred with something else to get purebreds, and that is a maltese..If I was going to breed, it would strictly be yorkie to yorkie though...

Just because you have no problem selling them doesn't make it right. And people breeding mixes aren't trying to create a new breed - they're just breeding. Those who mixed to develop breeds did so with a goal and purpose

She can physically concieve with her first heat, which could be at any time given her age. And as mentioned, I wouldn't advocate breeding two dogs that were not of the same breed.

And BTW, ALL Yorkies are considered to be 'toys.' Yorkies are classifed in the 'toy group.'

And just out of curiosity, what happened to the 1 year old agressive male you had in May and the 2 new Chi pups you had then that you were considering breeding....?

Doesn't sound like this person knows the breed or even knows what signs to look for when a dog goes into heat...if you don't even know those things, you do NOT need to be breeding. There is a LOT you need to know before even thinking about breeding

But there are a lot of people that only want the mixed..Just because we don't, don't mean other people don't..there are a lot of people that want a small dog, but can't afford the price of a yorkie or maltese..My sister before she started breeding, did a lot of studying, she's not a stupid person, she's very well educated with a degree in psychology..Anyway, out of the 4-5 litters she ended up having(she no longer breeds), every puppy was sold very fast..She would not sell to people she didn't know, as she wanted to make sure they had good homes. Mixed breed dogs don't seem to have the problems that purebred have is another plus..but, I am saying, if you don't know what you're doing, when it comes to breeding, then you shouldn't breed. there have been a lot of people that have lost all the puppies on top of losing the mother dogs..is it worth that to you?

Is this something that has been proven with written documentation and study or just rumors that mixed breeders like to tell potential buyers to make their dogs sound more valuable?

You can't take two purebred dogs (with problems as you say

) and end up with puppies with no problems.

Tempermants are another issue that people who have bought "designer" pups have had to deal with. Maybe that's why there are so many "designer" dogs at the pound.
