YorkieTalk Newbie! | New Member Hi All, I'm new to this and am looking for some advice. First I will tell you how I came to be a Yorkie momma. I have always wanted a yorkie and when the time came to be, I answered an ad I found in the newspaper that had listed a website for me to view. I was in search of a little girl. When I met with the breeder, I quickly realized that I had probably walked into a "puppy mill". I say this because, I was not allowed in the room where this man kept his dogs. When he went into the room, I was standing in such a way so that I could see into the room before he shut the door. What I saw were cages stacked upon cages with several different types of breeds. The breeder brought out 3 babies for me to choose from. While looking them all over, the breeder tells all three are 4 months old, and two of them are from the same litter. One of the little girls was larger (almost double in size) than her litter mate. This he says is what is called a "defect" because she has an overbite. I knew at that moment she was coming home with me. I named her Paris. Today Paris is a very happy, energetic 19 month old, little girl, who does not know she is a dog. I sure she thinks she's human, and has a bit of a warped sense of humor. I say this because she likes to sit on our cat Massa, and when she does this, she looks to see if anyone is watching her, and she has a goofy look on her face, that you would swear she was laughing. Massa does not care this and lets her know about it. I think the have a love hate relationship. Sometime I catch them snuggled together sleeping. Paris loves to play ball and frisbee, and during the summer she likes to go to our pond to "help" our daughter catch frogs. She also thinks she helping my husband when he's hauling and stacking wood for the winter. I have recently bred her with a teacup chihuahua named Peanut. This will be her first and only litter. I thought I knew Peanut's owner pretty well as I have known her for 4 years. Our agreement was for her to have Paris at her house for breeding as she has bred dogs before. Paris was there for 3 days with no success. I was told that every time Peanut would try, Paris would sit down. So we thought maybe Paris was uncomfortable with her surrounding and we decided to try breeding in my home. Within 30 minutes of both dogs being in my home together, Paris started flagging him and backing herself up into him. I have witnessed them tie 2 times for about 5-7 min. at a time spaced 48 hours apart. My husband thinks they may have tied a third time as he felt the both of them leave our bed during the night and heard Paris wimper, as this is what she has done when I witnessed the ties I saw. I had Peanut in my home for about a week, when I took him home, I shocked to hear his owner say that she was not in a hurry to have him back and immediately locked him in a kennel in another room. This broke my heart having to leave him there. Per our agreement she is to get first pick of the litter and she wants a girl. I'm torn as to what to do about this, since I do not want any of my puppies having to be locked in a cage. I believe that if you own a pet it is a part of the family and deserves to be treated as such. Any advice on that would be great. Also, is it normal for Paris to still bleed a little for a few days after mating? |

Max Main's Mamma Donating YT Member | I just don't know what to say about this. All I am going to say is that I am glad you are reaching out although a bit late. It is important to educate yourself on breeding because your little paris's life is in your hands. This is a GREAT place to learn but I have a feeling this thread is going to really upset a lot of people. Please take a look at some old threads on YT and tell me then if you think you made the right decision to 1) buy from a puppy mill and 2) breed your dog. I sincerely wish you and your little one the best of luck.

Max Main's Mamma Donating YT Member | I didn't like the way my tone was when I reread my previous post so I wanted to add that we all make mistakes and we all have differences of opinion..we are human. I am not anyone to judge. Good luck with everything!
