| Mating questions... So I met this lady at Petsmart and we talked about our yorkies who were almost the same age, same weight, looks almost the same and what not.. To make a long story short, I gave her my number, she gave me mines, and she told me she'll let me know if her girl is in heat. 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 ?

| The first couple of questions you would want to ask yourself and the other owner are : Is the female big enough to even breed? Are you breeding for money or to better the breed? Do you know the risks and complications that may occur? Is the other owner willing to risk her yorkies life just to breed? Can she afford a C- section (Happens more often then not) Did you do genetics testing to see if there is anything in the bloodlines of either "parents" that would cause health risks for the puppies? There are plenty more questions but these are the main ones that come to mind at the time. I was one of the "I want to breed my yorkie owners and have lots of yorkie babies" Until I read the risks and saw that it was not worth losing one of my babies. If I were you I would look more in depth of breeding before you continue especially if your not experienced in the subject. |

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | Here we go again. You've been a member long enough to have read the threads about why breeding your dog is not a smart idea. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/bre...t-breeder.html And for the record, it's not recommended that you breed a dog with an undescended testicle.

| Please do not breed your boy!! A male with a retained testicle should not be bred. Please read up on Cryptorchidism. And you should be thinking of neutering your boy soon for his own health.

| Please do not breed your precious boy. Cryptorchid is a genetic defect, your guy needs to be neutered to prevent cancer. Why should my cryptorchid pet be neutered? This is a well-documented genetic trait -- animals with this condition should not be bred. Animals that are cryptorchid may still be fertile, especially if unilaterally (one-sided) cryptorchid. In addition to the heritability aspect, the testicle (or testicles) that remain in the abdomen are more prone to cancer or torsion (twisting and cutting off blood supply).

| Very glad you decided to ask the question...but if you are even considering being a breeder that is what you need to do...read and learn. There is so much more to breeding then just putting 2 dogs together, even if it is a one time breeding, that makes you a breeder. And it does not only fall on the female and whelping and raising of the pups. You are a partner in this to make sure that everything goes as planned and willing to take responsibility for anything that goes wrong. I do hope you made the right decision to not follow through with this breeding. And to contact your vet to have your boy checked out and neutered for his own health.

Oh trust me the "blindness" of having puppies is so hard to resist!!! All those cute little button nose babies and kiss's are so wonderful, till you have a baby that has a genetic fault or dies at birth and so many more things can and do go wrong. Then who takes the responsibility for the vet bills or anything else that is needed to care for that sick pup?? I am so glad you came here to ask your question before the mating took place and please do not let the other lady pressure you into going forward with it. A good breeder does not hook up with a stranger in a store to arrange a breeding for her female if she is breeding for the right reason. Again please talk to your vet about your boy soon.

You should not even be wondering about breeding a dog with a genetic fault! THAT is only the first in a multi issue list of disqualifiers. Responsible breeders sweat blood and tears, trying DESPERATELY to irradicate defects in this breed, and now we have situation where an unethical ''breeder'' has sold you a wonderful PET, and has made no effort to ensure this pet would NOT be bred irresponsibly, passing this defect on to more yorkies. What is so tragic, the USDA is going to effectively shut down small responsible, knowledgable, ethical breeders that would never even give something like this a second thought, by imposing regulations that are financially unattainable for most, and stuff like THIS is gong to go completely unnoticed/unregulated.....and this is part of what is going to ruin our beloved breed. Absolutely breaks my heart watching it all go to helen-a-handbasket. | |

| I hope you take everyones advice to heart and save yourself heartache and neuter your boy. Passing on a genetic problem is not fair to the puppies. Leave the breeding to the professionals.
