Will you be wrapped in a quilt made by me?? Cause if so, I'm going to hold off making it.....no quilt, no dropping dead, right?

Welcome to YT. I'm so glad you're asking so many good questions. It shows what a caring and concerned mama you are to your boy. There is another issue here too. Often times after a boy has been allowed to breed, his temperament changes, and not for better. Un-neutered boys want to run more, they can hump more, and they can become markers in your house. Mind you, I am saying they can. Not all will, but many do. Also, if a sold pup ends up with a genetic defect, you can be held 50% responsible by the new puppy owner. Even though your dog may be healthy, gene pool problems crop up. It costs thousands of dollars to correct things like liver shunts or bad knees. You have no idea what genetic issues lie in this woman's female (even though she may be a healthy, cute little dog). You could end up paying big time for her problems. All dogs carry dominant genes and recessive genes. If you get two dogs together with the same recessive genes, you've got problems. All of the above is a big gamble you have to be willing to take on. I would be doing lots of reading before you decide to take on the challenge. In the long run, buying yourself another puppy may be a better, cheeper choice. Best wishes to you as you make these big decisions. I'm glad you're here.

You've been a member long enough to have read the threads about why breeding your dog is not a smart idea.

And for the record, it's not recommended that you breed a dog with an undescended testicle.

Seriously if you have to ask, you have no idea what you are doing. (Sigh)

You've been given great advice! I know you love your boy and will make the right decision!

I just recieved a text from her today and I've never really done this before so I don't know what kind of questions to ask, (or if I should even ask anything) if I should show her any paperwork of my dog, or anything. Also, I'm not sure if my dog knows how to do it. LOL


Please help meeee~ I really am clueless, I suppose. Also, my dog has only one descended nut. XD I don't know if his dong works ?

Goodness... Please schedule a neuter for your male. Both of you are not ready for what would come.

This is funny, but not in a haha way. I had a friend that saw Gunner on facebook and she called me and wanted to breed him to her mixed dog! I right away told her he would be neutered at 6 months and I would NEVER consider breeding him. I think she was upset at me about it. I can understand though the op wondering about it, if not all of us know about the heath issues of dogs.

Please also direct the other women to here before she breeds. Not knowing what she is doing puts her dog at high risk and she could die.

Yes, definitely. I planned to have Cherry spayed before I even came to YT as I have no interest in breeding (though who wouldn't want a litter of adorable yorkie pups?!) but if I hadn't come to YT, I would have had no clue how difficult and potentially dangerous it can be.

Good for you for asking!
