Tell me I have been doing a lot of looking into the yorkie breed! Have read a lot about teacups to small to breed- but I have never seen, what size a female should be to breed! I am not a breeder- never had a yorkie- just was wanting the rest of the info! |
From what I've read... Yorkies arent really classified as teacups, toy etc... Thats just something some breeders/sellers do to lure a buyer wanting a "really" small pup... By far not an expert though... But, I was told that females should be 4 lbs or more to breed. |
There is no such thing as a teacup anything. A yorkie is a toy breed that should be 7lbs or under. I've seen from reputable breeders on here that a female should be at least 5lbs to be bred. But size of the female and male is not the only thing you have to consider. You need to know the family history of both dogs. You need to know the size of the dogs in the pedigree. If you have a larger yorkie back a generation or two, then you could get a throwback puppy...one that grows much larger than the parents. You really want to use dogs that come from lines of fairly consistently sized dogs that meet the standard. You also need to look at the females in the pedigrees...are the free whelpers or has there been a history of c-sections? There is much more involved than just looking at the size of the female and male you want to breed |
Thank you! I think it is just a smaller yorkie from what i have read-! never seen any a number on for what size they should be! Thank you for the answer! |
Thanks to both of you- I do not breed dogs,but was told to look at parnets- so thought it would be nice to know this info! |
