Just for starters, the dogs need to have a multitude of specific health test done to check for genetic issues. They need to be evaluated to see how they match up to the breed standard to see if they even should be bred. Last edited by BamaFan121s; 04-12-2010 at 07:57 AM. | |

| NO NO and NO! I am a breeder and can tell you that unless you know what you are doing, have had your boy tested and her bitches have had all of the testing done you don't even want to think about it. Breeding isn't something to be taken lightly, there are so many things that can go wrong. Your boy could catch a VD from her females, he could possibly be injured during the tie if the female starts to move around or gets scared during the tie and decides to run off. Is your boy of such stature that he should be used for breeding? What qualities make him worthy of passing his genes onto future Yorkies. Once a male is used for breeding he will start marking around the house (even a house broke dog will do this). As for the owner of the bitches, is she ready for the possiblity of losing one or both of her females during whelping due to complications. The possiblity of needing c-sections, having to hand rear the pups which would mean feeding every two hours for several weeks. Does she have homes lined up for the puppies once they are ready to go. Is are either of you prepared to take back any puppies in the future if the need arises? I could go on about all of the things that go into breeding but I think this gives you an idea of what I'm trying to say. Breeding isn't something that a person should do on a whim, it takes a great deal of thought and knowledge. Do you even know what her females look like, what their pedigree is? Are they even worthy of breeding as far as being what is called for in the Standard (coat color, size, personality, confirmation)? I hope you will really think hard on this because even though you don't own the females as the stud owner you still hold some range of responsiblity for the puppies. Just because a dog has champions in his or her pedigree doesn't mean they should be bred. The best lines in the country still can throw poor examples of the breed which shouldn't be bred but do make wonderful neutered or spayed pets. As for you not believing in neutering a dog, if he is your companion and you are not interested in learning about breeding for yourself I believe he would be a much better pet if he were neutered. It doesn't hurt them and can keep you from having to worry about testicular cancer in his future.

| Just to add...you stated in another post that at 10 mo, your guy was 8 lbs....over the standard for the breed. For that alone, before even considering the other aspects that breeding entails, I would not recommend breeding him. |

| I wouldn't do it. There are WAY too many back yard Yorkie breeders in Atlanta!! I live around Atlanta so I know and all the crap me and my husband had to sift through to find a great breeder who actually cared about improving the breed was beyond ridiculous! It took us quite literally 6 months for us to find and feel comfortable about a breeder. That was actively searching and visiting over 50 breeders all over the state (wish I were kidding about that). And sure, Dexter isn't quite up AKC standard for color but I would rather pay the money for a dog that isn't and know his genetic history with a health guarantee that covers everything just to name a few things that came with him, then pay half of what we did for a pup and know we are contributing to a backyard breeder with puppies that have all sorts of health problems (and they still have the balls to charge $400+ for these dogs). They ONLY care about the money!! I'm not going to go into this long tirade about why else you shouldn't do it, as you are an adult and can make your own decisions. But it's not fair to these dogs to exploit them and breed bad genetics and shorten their life span because the owners wanted to make a quick dollar, knowing the Yorkies are always in high demand... Sorry if that sounds like it upsets me, but it does. And if you want to know about breeding, internet research isn't hard but here's a site that's easy to follow. Breeding Your Dog |

| Vd is a sexually transmitted disease. And yes, dogs can catch STD's.

| I wouldn't do it for many reasons but one of the main reasons is that I wouldn't want a fully intact male that has been used for breeding running around the house. Secondly you risk your male with her for nothing except a few bucks or the promise of a puppy. Unless you are familiar with breeding, can be there to assist and know what your doing it can cause damage to both dogs. Why??? It isn't worth it.

| Generally, once a male has been used as a breeding stud, you see drastic changes in their personalities and overall behavior--increased marking, agression, territorial, restless, irregular appetites, whining, panting, etc. Anything goes. |
