| asking about the inbred question again, lol So after talking to someone they scared me that my future yorkie will be vicious and crazy because basically I'm rescuing a puppy that is inbred. I'm sure you've all heard my questions before but I'm looking for a little reassurance again, lol. The father basically wasn't kept from the mother when she went into heat and basically there you have it, my puppy was born. I'm prepared for any health risks as I've set up a vet fund but so far at 9 weeks he is a happy healthy little rambunctious teething little guy. Am I taking home a crazy cujo? Words of encouragemnt, please lol. |

| Thank you so much. The person who has him right now loves him very much and said he's a sweetie pie. I have kids and another dog and I just picture a dog with red eyes and a machette chasing after them, lol j/k okay not that bad but you get the drift. |

| Please don't worry, I am sure your baby will be just fine. Dogs have been inbred for many years and we would not have all the breeds we have today if it were not for inbreeding. Most people have a misconception about inbreeding. My Little Man is the results of a father to daughter breeding and you could not ask for a sweeter yorkie and his son Shorty is just as sweet. They are both very loving and they have very calm dispositions and both have produced beautiful puppies. If you can find out more information about the personalities of the parents then that will give you a better idea of how your puppy will act. I don't recommend that anyone breed their dogs unless they really know what they are doing. I do understand that accidents do happen. Hopefully the parents of this puppy did not have any serious genetic problems that will be passed on to him. Please keep us posted as to how he does. |

| Please don't listen to ignorant people. It seems to me that you have prepared yourself if you might have a medical issue with your new puppy and will cross that bridge if need be. If you have a behavioral issue you can cross that bridge as well. Don't look for problems where you do not have any. Please post lots of pictures when you can!

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | i think that inbreeding is used by breeders.. they call it line breeding because they are very well informed

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | is linebreeding still inbreeding? crossbreeding, linebreeding, and in breeding.. crossbreeding is mixing same breed for a larger gene pool inbreeding/linebreeding is fewer genes in the pool to set traits correct me if i am wrong please
