Would you supplement this puppy?

I have been breeding yorkies for a short period of time. I have had 2 litters before now. Cassie and Peaches had very uniform litters in terms of growth and maturity of puppies in all ways.
I read alot before my dogs ever had their second heat, I have two other breeder friends that are a wealth of knowledge, and always help me anytime I have a question ( but I dont want to bother them every day!)
There is nothing like raw experience, and the experience of purchasers that have bought yorkies and had problems, or experience of owners who are happy.
I have been raising yorkies for about 16 months.

Good for you! I'd love to breed Gracie when she gets older but at the same time I can't imagine doing it!!!!!!!!!!! I'd never be able to part with my grandkids! haha

If a litter nurses without a hitch its tons of fun seeing them getting wonderful homes......and raising them gives you pride and real satisfaction. The people are great too, because they are excited. But do not be afraid to ask tons of questions.....you are raising special babies and you want them to be placed in a nice "smart" place.
But sometimes you get a "surprize" and you have to work extra hard! In regards to my second litters, they have been hard! sizes all over the place......little ones cant compete. The first born girl I didnt give extraordinary attention to......(serious breathing problems) She was itsy bitsy. But her sister left with 4 bigger pups was a fighter, nothing wrong with her, just very small..............so I saved her. SHe is such a joy!
Yep...........it would be hard to sell her, but to the right home in time she could go, cause she would be spoiled!

I just want to add........I have no intention on selling my yorkies here......I just like the companionship of fellow people!

I'm not a breeder and this is my first Yorkie litter. My Yorkie pups are 3 weeks old. I found a supplement recipe they love but I couldn't get them to suck a bottle. So I squirt the formula into my palm and they lap it up like crazy.

This is an old thread and the original poster is no longer here, she's been banned. I hope you supplement recipe is from a reliable source, and that's seems like a clever way to get them to drink. Good luck with your litter!
