Hi there. Breeding Yorkies is a lot more than just putting a male and female together. It takes years and years of training and having a mentor to know how to do it correctly. Bottom line is, if you are not experienced in breeding and whelping and if your Yorkie is not papered to meet AKC and YTCA guidelines, you really don't need to be breeding. You could end up with some recessive genes that cause the pups to have major health issues or just not be up to the breed standard. Your title said "to spay or not to spay." Please spay. You don't need to breed this precious girl. Just love her as your pet. Spaying her helps protect her from ever accidentally getting pregnant..when a girl is in heat, male dogs of ALL breeds and sizes pick that scent up from way far away. You risk this tiny girl getting pregnant by a male that is not proper size and could kill her. I know you don't want her to die from being pregnant or trying to give birth to babies too large for her little body. Spaying her is not only the right thing to do...it's the most loving thing you CAN do. :) |
I hope you consider on spaying your yorkie and it will be best for her health. If you were an experienced breeder then maybe but best to spay. |
I had a small runt Yorkie who only weighed a little over 3 lbs. when grown and finally at age 6 1/2 years old, fearing some day she might get cancer more easily or somehow get out the door during a heat(during which she cleaned herself obsessively) and get impregnated, I finally had her spayed. I was scared to death but Jilly came through the surgery fine and lived to age 13 without any cancer or further bothers of heat or unwanted pregnancy. Had she somehow ever ever gotten pregnant, I would have had to have a spay done immediately so I hoped I was saving her a more dangerous procedure by having the spay. I knew of the inherent dangers of surgery and anesthesia and still thought the risks of not spaying were greater. I noticed no changes in her afterward either, for which I was grateful. She didn't gain weight or become lazy or anything. She was just my sweet Jilly still. |
I would suggest Spay. There is no reason to risk her life when there are many puppies out there that need a home. I know she is your baby but, not a show dog, so my advice is, just love her. |
