Hi I am new!

[Ringo1]

Wow. 17 months old and already having a litter?

I want to welcome you to Yorkietalk; I must be honest I'm not a fan of indiscriminate breeding. I hope that none of the puppies you bring into the world end up in shelters.

I hope your girl is ok; she's still a baby herself.

Hi, Lucy Mom!
I know who will have them...so I know they will not be. My own children are getting them.
One of my sons are in Vet school and him & his wife love animals.
I plan to buy AKC Yorkie this year or 1st of next. Lil Miss Cherry was given to me so that she didn't go to a shelter.

Look forward to chatting with you!

Welcome to YT. Understand everyone on this forum is passionate about Yorkies and well dogs in general (that's what makes us all a great bunch) . I would never consider breeding in general but if you are maybe wait until your sweet girl is older? I don't think I have ever heard a vet say it was ok to breed at such a young age but I am not an expert on the topic.

Welcome to YorkieTalk! Why don't your kids save a life at a shelter instead of bringing more mixed breed dogs into this world? There are yorkies and yorkie mixes in shelters all the time...

A big welcome to Yorkie Talk

After this I don't think I will ever post anything. No matter what kind of a dog I would never call it a mutt. Mixed dog tend to be very good dogs.

Linda How do you think I feel! I didn't think I would get jumped on by any one.

I have had many mixed dogs growing up and we have always called them mutts. I did not grow up thinking that was a bad word. I was raised it was just another term for mixed dog especially when you have no clue what there mixed with.

So you want an F2 Shorkie-?

Many people here are against any hybrid mixing-so am I-however I have researched hybrid breeding.

You need a mixed male and a pure female per the recommendation of hybrid breeders who strive to reach hybrid breeding, you start with a purebred female and only breed hybrid past that...

Why on Earth would you want to breed Shorkies though-mixes aren't readily accepted by rescues, they are the first to be put down at pounds and who wants a pet without papers unless you are getting it from rescue?

I LOVE my Schnorkie-I adopted him from rescue, he was dumped by a pup mill broker.

Please reconsider what you want to breed, and that's not even going into the task of considering the ins and outs of learning, preparing and planning to breed.

I hope you stay here and learn, we love new people and Yorkie Talk is a wealth of information.
