There was a time that I wanted to breed my little Remy -- well breed a puppy before I feel so in love with Remy!!
I had a little Shih tuz that I purchased from a "back yard breeder" The sad part is I thought I was being "smart" I checked out the house-- the mother and father and to my untrained eye and with my lack of knowledge it seamed fine.
I got two dogs - brother and sister (Bailey for my daughter and my precious little Zoey). Sad to say Zoey died by about 8 months -- thousands of dollars spent at the vet trying to save her -- the vet did an autopsy and Zoey had a congenial kidney defect. The vet said her kidney was like an old dog who had cancer. It was heart breaking. I now have her brother (almost 3 years old) and watch him like a hawk!! When I wanted another pup I asked my vet to recommend a shih tuz breeder, he is the one who talked me into a Yorkie
He also told storied of bad breeding and scams -- really scary stuff. One of the things I remember most..... NEVER BREED A FEMALE UNDER 5 POUNDS!!! (Remy's mom was 5lbs but she is 3.5 lbs) I have had many people stop me and ask if I want to breed her..... hmmmmm NO!!
Yes, at one time I though breeding was the "easy" way to get another puppy. When you love your baby you think you may want "more" of them.
But I now understand I don't know enough nor do I want any chance of loosing another dog. Maybe when I retire from teaching I will breed dogs.. if I am lucky to have a mentor. Or maybe I will run or work in a rescue... a yorkie and shih tuz rescue

I believe in the 80/20 rule.

......80% of all humanity are morons.
......The other 20% are constantly trying to undo all the insanity that the 80% initiates.

I've had a couple of female Yorkie owners approach me about using Levi as a stud as well. Drives me crazy! I always just respond with "he's fixed." Glad you at least tried to educate this woman!

Real quick, did you know that Petsmart has a new Id Tag thingy...it no longer ingraves the name and number, its like um... laser or something, and they dont have the gold,silver color anymore its really strange, it came out good, but I still like the old way they did it. With the old way you can feel the ingravement (is that a word) . We were kinda bummed!

So back to my story, we are coming out and I get into my car, about to shut the door, I hear "excuse me" I look its a lady.. She askes me if Pnut was a full yorkie? I say yes, then she says (lol) his he a teacup, or toy.? I say no he is just small, 4 lbs. Then she says I have a female that is 3lbs and I was wondering if you dont mind LENDING ME YOUR DOG so I can breed my female!!!! ( I know what all of you are thinking) I said no, sorry he is neutered. Then I went into the WHOLE SPILL on why not to breed her and how she is TOO SMALL, and you know what she said, Well my Vet told me it was ok, she is in great health, he also said if I find a smaller yorkie it wouldnt be a big deal!!! OMG! I asked her why is it you want to breed her, she said TO SELL AND KEEP ONE OF HER PUPPIES!!!! OMG, I was done with this lady. I told her how dangerous it was for the female and how she would research this and everything, and she wasnt listing to me, she gave me a snotty look and said ok, thanks anways and walked away!!



MY GOD, are people insane!! You canT just one day wake up and decide you want to breed!! Much less breed a 3lb dog!! When I was telling her that she could loose her female over this she looked at me like i was nuts!!! Man I swear Petsmart is like the home of BYB'S!! I hope she does research breeding, but I highly doubt she will!

Sorry I have been upset ever since and I had to get it out lol

HOLY MOTHER ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!?? Were you at the PetSmart on Hall Rd in Sterling Heights MI BECAUSE I KID YOU NOT, THE SAME CRAP HAPPENED TO ME TODAY!!!!!!!!! I was walking around with Snick picking new things out for him and Reesie, and I encountered in "interesting" looking older male eyeing Snick and admiring him. Anyway, I finished up a conversation with a sweet couple while Snick played with their Nicholas, their male Yorkie (they loved each other!) and the older guy approaches me and asks how old Snick is, I politely reply 2.5yrs and then he has BALLS to ask me if I would be interesting in breeding him!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE!!!!!?????????????

I said OH NO, he is neutered and even if he wasn't, he has had health problems and he is under weight (in my opinion) to ever breed. He was with his interesting looking wife, and he told her, no-he's neutered and she shrugged!!!!! UGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!

I felt violated!!!!! FOOLS!!!!!!!! They probably go around looking all the time. I guess I should feel proud that Snick is gorgeous enough for someone to ask to breed him, but I don't. I'm mad.

WEIRD! I totally agree with the 80/20!!! Thank GOODNESS I am DEFINITELY part of the 20!!

UGH-
Snick & Viv

Hopefully you might have give her something to think about. People are just nuts. And can you believe that vet???? He sounds like a real winner.

[CouversMom]

I had this happen at our local Petsmart here... When Couver was like 5 months old, a lady asked me if I wanted to stud him out to her female and get pick of the litter. At that point, he was too young to be neutered, but I told her heck no.

I think it's important to just educate as many people as possible... Even if you get through to just one person, you've made a difference

[Lizzie07]

Hopefully you planted the seed for this woman to start doing her research and she will realize her vet is WRONG and that she should just have her spayed and enjoy her.
