To the OP...

Was curious as to your intentions. Do you plan to show your dogs?
It is my understanding that you have no desire to sell the puppies. If this is the case, then registering your puppies should be of no concern(seems to be a concern). Registering does not matter at all for your pets. If your were trying to SELL or show your dogs, then this would be a concern. If you are wanting to show your dogs, then a purebred yorkie bred to a parti yorkie would leave you with no dog to show, as far as th AKC is concerned. You would not have a purebreed yorkie, or parti yorkie. That is the way i have understood the current standards. Im no expert of course.
If you want to just have some puppies for your own, then i would take advantage of the wealth of info available in the breeding section. There are a few very experienced breeders here. Im not a breeder so i cannot comment, but it is also my understanding that its dangerous to breed dogs that are very small. Often fatal. Id talk to some of these folks and try and determine if its the right choice for your baby. Might be better off to wait and see of she grows, or perhaps seek a larger dog for breeding if you have only good intentions. Im sure its a bit more difficult to find a good breeder or even a yorkie in the Phillipines, than it is for us in the States. Good luck though, and hope you meet some breeders here that can help. Just keep thick skin... there are some very experienced people here. Consider the advice people offer and discuss these things with your vet.
In the end...do whats best for your little girl. I'm sure you love her and would never do anything that would put her life in danger.
best wishes

Thank you for the advices. I do believe I need to have a thick skin if Im to continue to be part of this group coz I was kinda "shocked" to read such strong opinions despite the fact that I did ask for opinions in the first place. I likewise understand that all that passionate reactions comes from the same love we all feel for our own Yorkies.

How much does your female weigh? How old is she? How much does the male weigh? From your last post it sounds like you have a lot of dogs. :eek: How many are currently in your home? You must be very busy! It sounds like so much work.

Thank you for the replies. I appreciate all of them. I did however forgot to write that we've always had dogs and puppies for as long as I can remember so its not like Im not familiar with what goes on when a our female dog goes on heat, gets mated, give birth and everything after that. We don't sell the puppies coz my sister feels very attached to them so there are times when we'd have 4-6 puppies at one time. Ofcourse, so that our house would not be over run with dogs and so we could give them proper attention we don't allow the females to be mated all the time. We've always had small dogs. Like before, we had chiuaua-terrier mix dogs, when they came to age and one by one passed away, we were given a Pom-Spitz mix. We had a few of them for a while and when they also came to age, we were given a female s**tzu-poodle mix who gave brith to 7 puppies, all healthy, mature dogs now and still living with us.

Mollyeet has given birth to one puppy two years ago. We've discussed with Mollyeet's vet the possibility of her getting pregnant again and he agrees. In all these years of having multiple female dogs who dont get pregnant, we have also witnessed the health issues that they also go through when they grow old and it usually involves their reproductive system. So far, and this is just based on my personal observation, our female dogs who had puppies a couple of times did not have those health issues in their ripe old age.

I was concern about the possible size of the puppies in relations to the sire's size and if I understood it right.. its has no actual bearing? My 2nd concern is the Yorkshire Terrier- Biewer Yorksire Terrier combination if it will be "frowned" upon and under that catergory can I register the puppies IF Mollyeet do get pregnant.

I think that you need to spay your Yorkie and enjoy her as a pet. If she has already had one litter then your fears of her having reproductive issues later in life are finished and you will further reduce those chances by a large percentage once you have her spayed. What does she weigh?

BTW, it does sound like you have quite a large pack of dogs in your home. I'm curious why you chose a user name of PackOf1.
