There are valid concerns that people who are even thinking about breeding want to know. Not every two dogs should be bred - just because we want to. We all remember pet overpopulation, right? That hasn't gone away.

As we have recently seen in other threads ~ breeding is not for the faint of heart - not to be taken lightly - and not without heartache.

Believe me I agree with you completely never for a moment have I considered breeding. However, I also agree that her sweet girl is pregnant she needs help and we should help her for the sake of her furbaby and those that she is carrying. I know human nature when people get negative those seeking help leave and that's not what I want to see happen.

I agree, but MAYBE, we can offer advise in a more positive note, I try so hard to offer advise while telling them, how hard and sacrificial is to breed your girl, I know it can be done, but if we start by telling them how horrible of a person they are, I feel that they are not going to even finish reading and just shut us off and not get the right advise, that I just how I feel, and this is why sometimes I don't even post because by the time I post trying to help the dog,the thread has gone so negative that I think the person is not even going to read what I write and the whole thread goes viral with negative judgemental posts, meanwhile the poor dog is probably in danger, I hope we can turn this into a HELP the dog message, and is ok to tell the person how HARD and the risks they are taking with their girl life, but without the need to attack the human,so they can read and learn the RIGHT of Breeding.. like NO all dogs should be bred, etc.. and the HIGH risk of mortality for mom and babies.

I didn't attack anyone and she never asked for help with anything other then can the dog be pregnant. She had said she got slaped on the hand for her post and I was trying to explain to her why. People who are thinking about breeding may read this thread so I want to put as much info out there as possible. It's great to have some people to offer help and it's great to have people who offer just straight facts and info and both are needed. If someone really wants info they will stick around no matter what. We cannot just post lies of sunshine and rainbows the truth is nessisary.

Absolutely! When negative things seem to be 'necessary' to be noticed/conveyed/said, I see no reason why they cannot be said in a kind, polite, positive, and helpful way. Your initial response to the OP was spot on, too...a concise answer to a specific question.

Take care!

Yes it is quite possible. I have one who is never ready until the 18th day.
Good Luck and let us know how she is doing.

Sorry, I don't think my post was negative - not sure if this was directed at me but it was my post that was quoted.

We all have opinions and are entitled to share.

Certainly, I wish the OP well and hope her little girl has no problems - but I can't and won't pretend that I think this was a good idea.

Sorry maybe I shouldn't have quoted you. I was really just quoting your response and saying that I agreed with you about breeding all willy nilly. I never said you were being negative.

The dog is going to have puppies So let's help as much as we can. Wishing you good luck and please keep us posted on how it is going. And please don't leave we all have opinions that is what makes this forum what it is. People loving there pets.

Slap, OUCH ! Sorry, we just love Yorkies so much, we almost forget their human has feelings. I am not criticizing anyone. Just tossing my thoughts out there.
I admit, I stopped responding to most posts about breeding because, I don't like how most of them get negative. I agree with Carmen and Chachi, I hope the OP sticks around. We really do want to help each other.
I try to educate, give good facts, advice and I do encourage people to spay and neuter. After the dog is already bred, I change my focus to help with the already pregnant Yorkie. (Yes I know, I preach spay all the time. I work with rescues, abandoned, and unwanted dogs. I have seen first hand the awful results of puppy mills and many back yard breeders. About 99 % of dogs should never be bred ) I also suggest spay after this litter is delivered. The OP already has stated that she intends only one litter. I hope all goes well and that she has a problem free delivery and a beautiful, healthy litter.
Yorkie Talk is a wonderful resource, Please stick with us and remember it is free advice, you can ignore anyone, who really annoys you !

I am thankful to say Destiny had her babies this morning 3 boys and 1 girl. She was only at day 57 but babies and mommy are doing great! We had gone off for the weekend to go boating for our anniversary and the vet said it was ok for us to take her on the boat as long as it was not rough water. She did great, mostly set in my lap she wanted to play but just did not have much get-up and go. I was shocked when she woke me at 4am this morning licking my hand and I felt her tummy and she was having contractions. The first two were born by 5:30 2 boys, then an hour later a girl came butt first and before she was completely out a 3rd boy started coming butt first also it was almost two hours later before they started eating but they did start eating! Mom is doing great and is drinking and eating too! It is now 10:35 am and all is well!!

Thankful
