True dog/animal lovers DONOT care if there dog is purebred they accept them and love them for who they are not what papers come with them!!!!! Not everyone can afford a purebred yorkie!! I know lots of family's who would love to have one, but can not because of the cost. Unlike "Breeders" I AM NOT IN THIS FOR THE MONEY!! I only asked a question didn’t expect to get my head bit off!!

I think they cover this in biology class. Maybe you should take one before you continue breeding. And if you have breed yorkies before doesn't that make you a........whats the word?.........BREEDER?

Yes, I think that does make you a breeder. So, your doing it for the money? You really need to stop now and educate yourself with yorkies and breeding. I am new here also, and here because I'm educating myself on yorkies, before I jump in and buy one. I have no desire to breed, I just want a companion. I have been learning for the past few months, and will continue to learn until after the first of the year when I plan to get mine. It is very important to EDUCATE yourself FIRST!!!

One reason that I dont post on here is because some of you ( and you know who you are) always seem to have such snotty and superior responses. No need for that !!! She asked a question and wasnt asking for a lecture on breeding. She has every right to breed her dogs if she so wishes. I doubt that she will be takeing any money out of your pockets. Why cant you just chill a little and use some kindness instead of trying to impress!

First of all welcome to YT. Second of all her question was answered several times. We then proceeded to tell her about shelters, dog overpopulation etc. The OP obviously has not researched the subject at all and therefore we are recommending that she does. But maybe your right. She is going to do it anyways so why bother saying anything informative as it may come off as rude.

She does have "every right" to breed her dogs, but that doesn't make it right! And btw, it's not about taking money out of anyone's pocket.

Also, welcome to YT....for someone so hesitant to post, you started out with a bang

Questions are asked, and opinions are given. Because it's not what you want to hear, we're being snotty and mean??

and don't forget rude! lol

I kind of have to agree, some people jump down your throat..the thing is every breeder started somewhere...as far as the mixing, I myself have no problem with yorkie mixes, and have looked in our shelter for them, well, actually the shelters within 60 miles from me, and they're already gone...You have to remember, a lot of people, especially right now with the economy the way it is and money being tight, want a small dog, and love the morkies and other yorkie mixes..myself, I've never seen an ugly yorkie mix yet

I didnt see any posts that were rude, just very good advice. You were the one that didnt make it clear what you ment by "ruining" your stud dog. You never even said that you had a stud dog or had bred a litter. But since you have alread bred 2 litters of Yorkies and know that Yorkie-poos are vey popular, that in itself make you a breeder already and I am sure that you are making $$ on the puppies unless you are giving them away.
So to answer your now explained question, genetically, your stud will not be ruined.

Yes Im back. Got home from work and checked on the outcome. First of all this is'nt my first rodeo girls. I have been around forums of all sorts for a long time and know how the clic's stick together. The above quote would have gotten my panties in a bunch pretty quick , and this isnt the only one, just my favorite. I visited with this young girl one on one and found that she is NOT a breeder., her first time BREEDING was not planed and resulted in one pup which she gave to her mom for paying the vet bill!!! The second time that she bred resulted in a BREEDING that didnt take. Her female was also in her 3rd heat cycle. So before presuming that people are out there with their palms out and trying to steal your thunder, why don't you have the decency to find out more about them before you start slinging mud?????? Oh and just so you know how it feels !!!! You can talk about how you BREEDERS are just trying to improve the breed , blah,blah,blah, but I bet you don't say " Oh no keep your money!!! I just want you to have a better Yorkie to love!"

What if your purebreed male gets injured during the breeding process with this unregistered dog? Then you are out what ever quality puppies this male may have produced with a registered female.
Even with breeding to a registered female you have no guarantee the male will not get hurt. Your best bet is too read all you can about breeding. don't leave the dogs alone if you think they might tie.
If you are trully concerned then read on how to collect a specimen and artificially inseminate the female.
some people like Yorkiepoos, but sometimes the puppies are not very attractive. sure they are cute when they are puppies.
If you like traits of the standard Yorkie and you keep one of these pups then you may be very upset if there ears never stand up.
If you like the coat of a Poodle and the coat takes on the traits of the Yorkie then you are frustrated.
Do you really win?

Is this directed at me because first of all I only have one yorkie and HE is male. And good breeders do try to help the "less fortunate" people get yorkies. Koda was being sold for $1500 When the breeder saw that I was completely in love with him but could not afford that much she sold him to me for $800 and I was allowed to make payments. Get a life! If you want to breed dogs strive for the best, not what comes easiest.

I picked your quote because I thought it was unnecessary and quite frankly rude. I felt like she was jumped on for no reason,not only by you but but others as well. I have a habit of fighting for the underdog! Pun intended! I am glad that you found a compassionate breeder who was willing to work with you, but having one Yorkie does not make you or anyone else an expert. I have 2 myself and lord help anyone that even looks cross eyed at my babies, but an expert I'm not!!! I have been looking at some of the other posts and have yet to see the butt kicking that this poor girl got for a simple question. I just think that everyone should play nice or not play at all!!

I don't really care if your an expert or not. Are you refering to meeting with me in your previous post?

I breeded my little boy and girl twice but i dont call myself a breeder. The reason is because i get attached to the puppies and want to keep them all. I dont think a real breeder would get so attached and not want to sell any
