However, how does one garner experience? It's to do it. Typically, and highly suggested, with an experienced person there to supervise and backup...just in case. In your doctor's example I wouldn't want that fresh out of med school doctor anywhere near my wife. But if the weathered veteran doctor was there then I'd feel alot better. So, in rereading this thread and his initial post...he was asking for advice (i.e. HELP). Help is NOT bashing someone. Help is giving them proper advice to help them out. In this case, it would be something to the effect of: 1. Get a mentor who is in the profession. (This should be doable. He obviously knows a breeder already, and is using that breeder's male dog so that breeder has a vested interest.) 2. Work with the mentor in his breeding to see first hand what to do. (Again, if it's a reputable breeder I assume they are willing to help in this way.) 3. Ensure the breeder/mentor can attend or be available at the birthing time. Now, I know nothing about breeding and don't want to. However I know that we NEED breeders to bring the dogs we love into the world. And yes, shelters are great. All seven of my pets have come from shelters. However, it is extremely difficult to get a pure breed from one and certainly impossible to get one from a particular line that you own or want one from so suggesting a shelter in this regard is a waste of time because it has nothing to do with his question or what he is trying to accomplish. | |

All I have to add is not everyone starting out in breeding should be labeled a greeder or a BYB. People have to start somewhere. If the OP is willing to get a mentor and would not breed if the vet advised for any reason this girl should not be bred then she would not be bred then I think is showing responsiblity. As one poster said if all dogs came from shelters and noone bred anymore, the dog population would die out. I think if someone is responsible, does their homework, has a mentor, and is prepared to say no to the dream of breeding. I wanted to breed at one time and I got people being very nasty about it and I asked this question...."People are not born as breeders, they had to get a start somewhere and somehow. Now who says someone new coming into it cannot be a great breeder?" Great breeders were not born great breeders, they had to learn and be given a chance at one time, so why then should the OP not be given the same benefit of the doubt or the same chance? The OP is being honest and is trying to find help and has not bred this girl yet and now asking for advice in the face of a disaster like the one who breeds little 2 pounders, Tanisha Scumbag or whatever her name is. By the same token and on the other end of the spectrum, Yes there are many many animals in shelters and rescue groups that deserve to have a good home. You all know I do rescue and I foster and I love it, I love knowing I can at least help some of these unfortunate little guys get out of bad situations they did not deserve to be in. However I also know some people have preferences. Noone should be condemned for having their choice and their preferences. While I wish more people would take in rescue and shelter dogs, so that more could be helped I would not ever hold it against someone who chooses not to do so. Again, everyone has to start somewhere. Not all people are backyard breeders or greeders and everyone has to work hard to make a good name for themselves and just because the OP has not done so yet, does not mean he/she is going to be a greeder. All great breeders has been in this position, thinking of starting to breed. If they got shut down each time they asked for a mentor or for advice, then there would be no more dogs eventually. To the OP, just do your homework and get a mentor and be prepared incase your dam needs a c section or anything else. It is a tiny breed and they have complications, sometimes very costly complications. The vet can not guarantee you that your dam will not need a c section. Good luck!!

| She is a doll, but IMO I wouldn't breed. Just because you have a good looking yorkie doesn't give you the right to breed. My male yorkie is 4lbs, he is has all the characteristics of what a Yorkie should be, does that mean I want to stud him out?? No. You dont understand how many times people have contacted, called me, and stopped me outside of my home to use him. Just keep her as she is, the love of your life. The Momma's baby. Don't cause stress on her when it is not needed. Let the respectable breeders do what they do best.

| If you are willing to do the research and the homework then that is one thing, but the OP stated on another thread that she wants an online mentor. That is a red flag for me.
