Post your question here and you'll receive answers from experienced breeders instead of just those of us who don't know what is best.:) Breeder Talk - YorkieTalk.com Forums - Yorkshire Terrier Community |
I say that if you are unsure, then you should hold off on breeding until you've had time to research further rather than breeding her on Monday when you KNOW you are uninformed of some very basic principals of breeding. What has your mentor advised you? (You do have one, right? If not, you should.) The size of the male and female alone meets very little. You have to consider the size of ALL the dogs in their lines, not just the breeding pair. You can't accurately judge if it will be "safe" for her based on that alone. Also, 'weight' will only get you so far. You have to consider the pelvic structure, among so many other things, as well. |
If I was buying a puppy from a breeder, I would want to know if genetic testing had been done to make sure that neither the female or the male were carriers of any of the genetic diseases that plague the Yorkie breed. Have you done that? Good luck in your venture. ~Joanne~ |
I too considered breeding, and ultimately decided against it. The people here on yorkietalk were WONDERFUL about educating me and helping me make the decision. I would definitely find a mentor if at all possible. My personal suggestion would be to only breed to a male that is smaller than your female, because that will help with the chances of a c section being needed. Also, if you're asking this now, I would question having your girl bred so soon. It is your choice, but if you haven't done all the strongly suggested testing and research, I recommend doing it and putting off the breeding session. I wish you the best of luck, whichever choice you make. Have a good one :) |
she might be to old to start..have a vet examine her first |
