I hope you read the link I provided.

Breeding your little female because you want to provide a puppy to your grown daughter, isn't a good enough reason to breed her.

If you aren't able to watch them 100% of the time, seperate them when you can't. But, your statement brings up another aspect of breeding. You will have to give up a minimum of 12 - 13 weeks of your life. You're whole life; day and night will have to be devoted to the care of the mother and the pups. This would begin at a week before her due date and not ending until those pups are placed with their forever families.

The cost of pretesting alone is expensive. Let alone setting aside money for a possible emergency and the required vetting of the pups. You'll need deep pockets. Much less expensive to go buy your daughter another yorkie.

Can I just add something to what these very knowledgeable and experienced members have already said? Breeding to give your daughter a free puppy isn't really a great reason and here is why. Many breeders tell you that they are out money or break even when having a litter. There are so many variables to doing it right and safely and if you aren't a pro your baby could get into trouble before your head can spin. It might sound cheaper in theory than spending money on a puppy but as someone who just had an "oops" pregnancy before I found YT and just spent $1600 on a c-section they had the potential to be very dangerous I can assure you this is not the cheaper way to go in acquiring a puppy! And then once the puppies are born there is the added expense of not just one puppy having all the vet visits, shots, tail docking etc but however many you have in the litter! Why not leave it to the professionals, keep your baby safe and when your daughter is ready find a good and knowledgeable breeder to buy her puppy from? Along with the money, yorkie pups require round the clock care 24/7. It's a full time job! There are jugs easier and more inexpensive ways of acquiring a puppy than putting your baby through a litter and spending a ton of time and money in the process! I just Want to spare you from experiencing what I had to go through because I didn't have knowledgeable people like the ones who have commented above helping me make the right decision. Also just an FYI...my Paris went into heat at 7 months and showed no visible signs and while I understand that is early for most yorkies to go into heat and not the norm I am living proof it can happen and she got pregnant from one oops tying! Just be careful and get someone fixed pronto! U won't be sorry you did it! If there are any other questions I can answer about what happened to me I'd be glad to chat with you! Good luck! Have a great night!

Perfect advice!
 

This is one of the best and most knowledgeable breeders in our community and I can personally tell you after just having experienced everything she mentioned in her cooments that she is 100% correct. What I failed to mention in my comment above Is that I didn't leave home for more than 15 minutes starting the week of her due date and Napoleon is now 6 weeks old and I still don't leave for more than 15 min at a time! It is full on expensive and just plain hard work! Really consider if you have the time, energy and money to do this and if you want to possibly risk the life of the yorkie you already love to do this! My story happens to have a happy ending but for no other reason than sheer luck!

Nothing like first hand experience, I hope others will learn from this. I've read of a few others who went into heat at this age, and while it's great to know the average, no dog is really average.

New Friend!

provide a puppy to your grown daughter
OK, none of these are the reasons I wanted Zeke to mate with Zoe, 1 1/2 yrs from now. You are probably going to prefer that I had one of those reasons.....
LOVE... is the reason..
He's a male, I'm a male. I keep thinking that he would love having sex once before he grows old.. A few days ago, he had bulges in front of his testicles. The Vet told me last year that, that would happen. A build up of fluid. The Vet said Zeke would release it(?)
A friend at work, his boxer(male) got severely sick because the boxer didn't have sex.
Can a dog have a vasectomy and still have sex ?
My wife spends 24 hrs a day with the dogs. You can't get any more attention or love than that.. After 30 seconds with Zoe this morning, Zoe became a member of the family forever..

Are you serious? :confused: That is very...disturbing? Juvenile? Far-reaching? I think are the terms I'm looking for? :thumbdown I take back the advice I gave...the only advice I would suggest in this case is to have the dog neutered...end of problem.

I am sorry that I was trying to find a solution that would make a Loved member of my family happy .. I assumed that everyone thought sex was a normal part of life .

I smell something..:eek:

Moderators,

please delete my account. I thought this was a FRIENDLY community. I didn't know that people was going to bash me because I wanted ZEKE to be able to do the same thing that the bashers are doing, without getting puppies

This is a friendly community, however, we have the utmost respect for the yorkie standard. Breeding is not for everyone, alot can go wrong and it should not be done by inexperienced people. I understand you would like to have puppies, most do, but once you realize the risk your female could die, puppies could die, why would you want to take on such a challenge? Having a male & female is NOT terms for breeding. I hope you stcik around and do some research on YT, you will find alot of great information here.:)
