The girl is 3lbs????? Wow, that is crazy, she should not be bred at all, her owner is asking for disaster, very sad :(

I agree, It's all about the money for sooo many terrible breeders, it makes me nauseous, they could care less about the poor dog.

It's a sad state of affairs, isn't it?:cry: I think I may be too tenderhearted about these precious little ones to read threads like this:( I just can't help but speak up for the innocent animals. Even if this poster doesn't listen to the advice given here, perhaps someone else reading this will think twice before doing something so heartless, greedy, and cruel.

A 3 lb female is WAY too small to breed. The general rule for Yorkies is to not breed a female under 5 lbs and even then you have to take into consideration other factors, like pelvic structure, if the dog came from a line of free whelpers, etc. I am shocked and saddend that this lady would even entertain the thought of breeding a tiny 3lb, unregistered girl that she rescued. She clearly is not concerned about the life of her dog. But as the potential stud owner, you have an obligation to do what's right too. Why would you be willing to go along with it?

You stated that the owner of the female will make more money off of the endevour. Ethical breeders rarely if ever see profit from breeding. There are so many costs to cover IF going about things the right way, i.e. medical testing, supplies, vaccinations, etc. You're actually concerned about how much more she will make than you will? So to answer your question, IF you guys were being responsible, then neither of you would likely see any profit at all....so you'd be even.

Sadly, per your post history, I doubt you will take any advice anyone has to offer to heart.

Why do you want to breed your little guy? I was approached once (after Bandit was neutered) and was flattered but the lady only wanted him because he was small.

A female only 3 pounds is way too small to be bred, and the person who wants to breed her is either uneducated about breeding or intentionally trying to get unhealthily small pups- either way you don't want a part in that cruelty.

An unspayed female from a rescue? I'm sure it wasn't a reputable rescue as some of our members are involved with. Heaven only knows what problems lurk.

"Rescued" a three-pound female and intends on breeding her? The term rescue here bothers me. :(

3# Surely you know better than this. this has to be a joke. in the event that you are serious. Ask yourself how you are going to feel for having been a part of this, if the poor little girl dies.

I realize that is an IF. But everything is an IF when it comes to breeding. There are no guarantees. But breeding a 3# girl, greatly increases the ODDS of those IFs happening.

I see your at it again:mad::thumbdown

Not much of a RESCUE. From the frying pan to the fire.

Just checking to see if the OP has bothered to reply yet...

I am just curious to know what rescue she adopted this baby from. Do you know the name of the place? Reputable rescues adopt dogs out on a spay/neuter contract. Breeding of rescued animals is not allowed and if it is then I would have to say it is not a rescue shelter but more of a dog trafficking agency. If that is the case, then that is just too sad and sorry.

There is so much that goes into breeding and the above link only touches the surface.

Other things that you might think of that goe into being a reputable breeder.

1. Do you know how to whelp a litter? The owner of the bitch may not know how and it'll be your responsibility to assist.

2. Once your boy is used as a stud, he will begin marking everywhere.

3. If the owner of the pup is unable to place all the pups are you willing to take the pups?

4. Should the family of one of the pups be unable to keep the pup are you willing to take the pup should the owner of the bitch be unable to?

5. Your dog should have all required testing performed on your dog, CERF/OFA, Bile Acids. The female should have the same tests performed. Tests are not valid prior to the age of 2. All tests costs upward of $500.00.

6. Should the pups have any genetic defects, be prepared for your boy to be blamed. It's a fact of life the male always gets the blame.

7. Do you and the bitch owner know the pedigree of your dogs inside and out? Parents, grandparents and great greatparents is very important. Also, litter mates, previous litters and any off-spring those dogs may have produced.

I understand that you will make the final decision, but think long and hard. Breeding is not for everyone, and one should not attempt it until knowledge and education on the process is obtained. The life of these little creatures are in your hands.

This little girl is way to small to breed are you willing to take the responsibility of her life? Because you will be indirectly responsible by allowing your boy to stud this girl.

You know, you have been on this site long enough to know what you are asking is ludicrous and what people's responses will be.
Grow up and be responsible. Even a moron knows you do not breed a rescue. .
Gimmie a break already with these outrageous threads :thumbdown

Is it possible this animal was acquired through nefarious means?
