Breeding

[yoyo27]

Sorry you don't understand that when you ask a question on here you are going to get everyones opinions. These are there own opinions but you opened that door for it. Do you ask a question to get fake answers? You want people to lie to you? Or just want to hear the answer you want? There are mixed breeds out there. They call them designer dogs now day a fancier name then "mutes". It use to be these were accidents and those dogs were given away "free" to homes that would love them. Now we have alot of breeders out there that truely want to make the mistake of cross breeding. It doesn't better the breed itself and there are alot of people on here that tuely believe from the heart we should better this breed. That is all the right reasons to be a breeder. And if you have breed your dogs your should be responsible in doing that or have them fixed. Yes there are people that take mixed breeds and love them and care for them just as much as purebreds. Thank God for those people otherwise there would be more out there killed. I don't think there should be an thought process when it comes to mixing a breed the answer should be "NO". And if you aren't doing it for the money then there should be more people out there able to afford your dogs because you want to make sure owners get purebred yorkies and can afford them. You must be doing it out of your heart and no recooping all your expenses of raising one in the right manner. No one is here to hurt someone directly. But its fair to speak your thoughts. If you don't want to hear what might hurt you then don't ask a question. "you might get your feelings hurt by people being honest." Isn't American wonderful we still have freedom of speech!!!!!!

Bottom line is, there are plenty of mixed breeds already out there looking for good homes at reasonable prices. There is NO justification for breeding more of them!

Alot of yorkie breeders are breeding yorkies/malteses, and believe me, right now, they're selling a lot better than the yorkies...there is a very high demand for them..

You might have a different opinion on this subject if you had witnessed what I did two weeks ago at the local dog auction. Those "mixes" that are in such "high demand" and supposedly selling a lot better than yorkies.....a lady was buying them up at $5-10 apiece.....she sells to medical research!!!!!

And btw, this is a breeders auction.....the breeders weren't the ones buying the mixes. We rescued one....we don't have near enough foster families for all of them


With the exception of a few, most of the dogs we've rescued from the kill shelters have been yorkie mixes.

then go to a rescue and get one. Im sure there are many that need a home and deserve the loving home you can prolly provide. They deserve HOMES not humans sitting on a forum arguing a dead topic.

All I can say is your an ANGEL on earth for doing what you do Jen. You dont deserve to have to argue this point. Your far far far above it. You should be getting thanks, not having to read this.

In a perfect world we would have more threads titled "How do I get started getting a Rescue" rather than "How do I get started breeding"

And the funny thing is I bet every single breeder that is breeding for the RIGHT reasons and with the RIGHT knowledge agrees with what i just said and takes NO offense to what I said as the get what it REALLY means.

If you know me, you know Im not snotty, rude, nor am i anti-breeder in ANY way.

amen!

are you wondering if your male will turn into a poodle mix if he is bred to one?

the answer is no. breeding to a mix breed dog will not change the genetics of your male.

OK OK OK OK This is crazzzzzy! I only asked a simple question because a friend of mine wanted to use Milo to breed her I found out to be a silky terrier poodle mix. I did not need to be lectured on how the pups could be put in shelters or auctioned off. The story of the pups that were auctioned off for research breaks my heart! That is terrible!!! I can assure you if I were to lone Milo, my hansom boy out as a stud dog (to my good friend I might add) there would be no chance of them ending up in a shelter or on the auction block!!! That I promise….I would keep them all before I ever let anything happen to a poor defenseless puppy NO MATTER WHAT THE BREED IS!!! To those of you who have said that I am a breeder…..I do not consider my self one. As I said I bred Milo twice. The first time was with my beautiful chocolate yorkie (Sophie). They are both healthy dogs, however the pup was to large to make it through her birth canal and she had to have a caesarian. This was very stressful for Sophie and I did not ever want to put her through that again so I had her spayed. She was only pregnant with one pup and her and Milo are not that much different in size, were talking not even 2#. (I’ll just clear that up now so no one is jumping to conclusions) The second time Milo bred our precious Dazi when she was in her third heat cycle and she did not get pregnant. So again I do not think this makes me a breeder. And last but not least for the ones who think I need a Biology class...... that was very RUDE!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, education is a valuable thing! And if that was "rude" I suggest you get a thicker skin if you want to carry out a happy and peaceful existence here on YT. You might not give a damn about the breed but don't come on here and expect everyone to just say "oh yeah go ahead and breed them it will be fine. Who cares about the dogs in the shelters being euthanized." Good luck with that princess!

Honey, I just looked, you're only 17...you're right, education is valuable, and you have many years ahead of you to become educated

My point in telling about the dog auctions was, in answer to the poster that claimed the mixes were in such "high demand". I'm sure your Milo's kids would not ever go on the auction block, but then you never really know - do you?

The thing is, while your Milo's kids would go to good homes most likely, those are homes, that had YOU not bred, may have chosen a rescue/shelter mix, instead of buying one from a byb.......think about that...in a way you could be responsible for another puppy/dog losing it's life by breeding your Milo.

I wish I had been as educated as ur when I was 17. Thank you for respecting shelters and unwanted dogs. You sound very sweet and very respectful of the breed. Thank you for being educated.

One thing I didn't know before is that dogs can transmit sexually transmitted diseases, even if it's the first time for both. From what I've read if you are going to stud your dog out, the female should be tested to ensure that she isn't giving your dog a potentially dangerous and costly disease. Many people wish to skip this test because of the expense when their not breeding purebreds, and they tend to take important shortcuts. Also, if you plan to stud your dog again, other breeders will want to know who you dog has been with, and this might affect their decision. This is one of the reasons people have suggested you do research first, many of us who have thought our dogs would make great little studs have changed our minds once we learned more. The more you know, the better your decision.
