chocolate yorkie puppies

One more thing that I forgot to mention that I noticed immediately in your picture -- please get fresh blankets for the puppies and momma to lie on. Anytime they become soiled, change them immediately! Cleanliness is vital to their health. You do not want these little ones lying on urine, blood and feces soaked blankets! That can easily cause infection!

You might want to get some disposable puppy pads to use. That way you can constantly change them out and ensure a clean surface for them to lie upon. I used puppy pads and had a large supply of baby receiving blankets that I could constantly rotate. The receiving blankets provided something a little softer than the puppy pads to have next to their skin. But I still lined the entire area with puppy pads.

It would be better if you had them in a whelping box inside the kennel. That way the momma could move away from the puppies and they would still be contained. I used a under-bed plastic rubbermade box for this purpose. Mom could get out of the whelping box, eat and drink while the puppies stayed in the box and could not get to the dog food or water.

Are you feeding momma puppy food? It is higher in what she needs -- so while she is nursing, its puppy food for her. She probably still needs addiitonal sources of calcium. Low calcium is a very real danger. You can supplement mom with the very same puppy milk replacement that you would feed the puppies if they could not nurse. You can also get prescription calcium that you give from a syringe. Best if you ask your vet what he would like you to use.

You will normally have your puppies in to the vet for tail docking and dew claw removal DAY 3-5. This is not required, and you may decide not to do it, espcially since these are not going to be show or breeding dogs. I would still have the dew claws removed though as this is a safety issue. Most homes have carpeting and it is so easy for a dew claw to get caught in carpeting! OUCH! While you are having that done, it is a good time to have mom checked over and get calcium suggestions from the vet. The vet will also weigh each puppy. Record these weights and then when you come home you can start a card on each puppy so that you can weigh them daily and record anything unusual about each one. Puppies should be gaining weight each day -- slow & steady.

Again -- wishing you well with these babies!

You cant register them with a reputable kennel club. Also I would think going to the vet sooner would be better then later to make sure everything checks out and is ok. Also isn't it pretty easy to tell if a dog is fixed or not when its a boy?

Yup!!Just like Almond Joy and mounds!!

[wec1957]

You have to take into consideration that you will get answers from AKC, UKC, ACA breeders. The AKC has strict guidelines that they have decided are finite. No varations are allowed. However, UKC is different. I know that Goldens can be registered with UKC and imagine so could the Chocolates. There are those who believe that the AKC is definitive in regards to breed standards. Then there are those of us the don't feel that way. You have to remember that some AKC breed standards also include surgically altering dogs to fit their criteria. Why they are so set on color standards but not on natural physical conditions is beyond me. I am not condeming the AKC only stating what is obvious.

So you pretty much have to decide which organization is a better fit with your own beliefs and standards and then follow that organization's standard that matches.

There are facts in this post and the rest are my opinions. If you disagree with me, that is your right but don't attack me for my opinions.

Just curious by surgically altering them are you referring to docking the tails and ears. So you do not alter your dogs tails or ears? Or are you just stating that is a standard of the AKC ? When I got Buster from a pet store ( I made many mistakes in the beginning ) I thought that AKC and CKC which Buster was registered by were the same but I have learned that the CKC (Continental Kennel Club) is more for backyard breeders or large scale breeders which some consider to be puppy mills. I was reading some info from the CKC website that they determine purebred by 3 photo's and 2 witness which I feel could be more manipulated than the AKC which requires the two breeding dogs family tree or registry(sorry not a breeder so the words I use may not be correct) to determine purebred status. The CKC will also register mixed dogs but it seems more for the purposes of ownership and participating in CKC events and being recognized by the CKC and not based on breeding for the betterment of the breed.
Does Continental Kennel Club register mixed breed dogs, and if so, why?
Yes, while 98% of the registry is made up of purebred dog registrations, CKC does offer its registration services to owners of mixed breed dogs. Owning a mixed breed dog is very common today, and CKC wants to be helpful to those dog owners as well. Many mixed breed dogs are rescued from shelters by responsible owners looking for a good canine companion to be part of their home. CKC encourages registration of these dogs for a number of reasons. Registration services provide proof of ownership, allow the dog to participate in our performance events, allow CKC to record the accomplishments of the owner and these canines, and make available all of the great services CKC has to offer.

This is just my opinion and I am willing to learn if I have stated things incorrectly. I am uninformed about the UKC and ACA so I will not comment on them.

PS Congratulations on your babies they are adorable and I am glad Ollie lives on through his babies.

but the problem is i dont have any papers or shot records for dollie the mother dont i need papers to show proof and information on her parents and stuff? i dont have any of that the owner apparently didnt have anything im starting to think he stole her or something how can they have a dog with no papers or nothing

Yes CKC in Canada is the Canadian Kennel Club The Canadian Kennel Club > Home which is like the AKC but in USA there is the Continental Kennel Club Continental Kennel Club Puppy Registration and Free Litter Registration which is not the same as AKC.
If you do not have papers then perhaps they never registered them with AKC. I did not bother registering Buster as I realized that the CKC registration really meant nothing to me so why spend the money. I would just love the puppies and find good homes for them. Selling undocumented puppies for more because someone might resell them is a possibility but unlikely but no matter what you sell them for what is most important is finding good stable homes. Best wishes to you and your fur family.

Continental Kennel Club will registered any dog that is over 6 months and that you have 3 picts of and 2 witnesses that says it is pure bread. I did the same thing sadly got Tibbs and they was all yeah "CKC Tea Cup Yorkie 350" I was like wow and did not know any better so I went and got him. And then they give me a paper about CKC and it had the above info. I however did end up finding Tibbs mom and dad they were local byb and the mom and dad were AKC but she did not registered the litter....so what ever..... I love him papers or not

I'm no expert on breeding, but I just wanted to pop in and so that your new pups are adorable! Love the look of chocolate Yorkies. ^^ <3
