From little paws kennel?

I just started coming here a few days ago and even I can see how her stoy i al over the place and not making sense. I just got my first Yorkie, but even I know that you cant show them if their tails aren't docked and their ears are down, an dI know NOTHING about showing. never been interested in it before. So clearly Kari knows nothing a bout showing or breeding.


Kari, I dont know if you mean to be deceitful, or if your really just are completely confused. but the mere fact that you had to come on here an ask when a dog starts having her first period shows you are no where near ready to be making good educated decisions about breeding your dog. Before you even consider doing it, you should FIRST get yourself well educated about it. thats not something your going to do real fast, nor is it something you should do completely off forums such as this. Someone who was well educate about breeding an about the yorkie breed, would not have to ask the questions you have been asking all over this forum, not just this thread. Im not trying to put you down. im just trying to make you realize you are no where ready to breed any dog in my opinion.

You have to remember that the lease educated you are and the least prepared you are, the more mistakes you are going to make. But the problem is, is it is your precious pup that is going to pay the price for YOUR mistakes, and she will pay the price for those mistake with suffering and possibly her life. If you truly love her, you would never risk even considering breeding her until YOU are properly educated. and, you would realize that is not going to happen any time soon. For her sake, I hope you will follow my advice and get her sprayed now, before she has her first period.

I truly am not trying to be mean. I am just trying to help you understand. I dont want you to make mistakes and end up regretting it horribly in the future when your little one suffers an possibly dies. nor do I want her to go through that.

im going to spay her before her first period.

Good. I think that is a very smart and responsible decision.

yeah im going to have two very cute yorkies. if I need another one there is allways a shelter.

Then you'd better hurry & book the appointment!
Good luck & I think that's the right thing to do.

I will try to see tomorrow. thank u

Thats right, and you would be saving a life by adopting from the shelter. that is always a great thing!:thumbup:

It seems you have now gotten some of the answers you needed. Since she has a full tail she cannot be shown in the states. I know in the UK she could of been so maybe that is where some of your confusion lies. She is a pretty girl and I am sure you love her a lot so I would have her spayed and enjoy her. If you want to start showing then I would do as other show breeders here have suggested and start going to shows and learning how it is done here and look into buying a show quality pup that can be championed.

I stand corrected just read that yes they can be shown here with a full tail. So I too learned something today. Love learning no matter how old I get and hate to say it wish I could learn without the getting older part now lol.

She can be shown but the chances of her ever winning are very slim. Judges are looking at breed standard and standard calls for a medium docked tail.

Last 3 generations??? Then this "breeder" you are taliking with, that bred your puppy, is going by nothing that anyone with any dog that is registered with the AKC, can get....a 3 generation pedigree. That will NOT give you a working knowledge base of this pup's pedigree.... Legitimate breeders/showers know their pups pedigree and have at least a 7 generation pedigree, if for no other reason, just plain curiosity about who was behind their dog and what titles they had.....not to mention genetic issues that could have been present....They have data banks, not for a blame game, but to help breeders avoid breeding any lines that could result in perpetuating specific genetic diseases. This is what is involved in "bettering the breed", which is what responsible, ethical breeders do. This involves more than a three generation pedigree. You will need to learn your pedigrees.....you know really need to know "where you have been" so you can determine "where you are going" when you start breeding. That is the difference between throwing two dogs together to get a litter of puppies, and being a responsible, ethical, educated breeder. Honor and respect the breed and the unbelievable breeders that have paved the way before us, who have, through knowledge and study and planning and deliberate, selective breeding, have laid down the template for our beautiful, wonderous Yorkies.

She should already know all this since she and her partners have shown before..

Your dog, though adorable, is not show quality. I'm sure the breeder you bought her from told you that you can breed her but if you do you will be breeding pet quality to pet quality without any real knowledge about the genetic weaknesses of either of the parents.

Purebred dogs are genetically manipulated creatures that only reproduce the characteristics of the breed if carefully bred according to specific guidelines.

AKC registration does not tell you the quality of your dog. It only determines that your dog is purebred IF the breeder was honest. There are show, breeder an pet quality purebreds. A good ethical breeder will sell less than perfect pups as pets with a spay/neuter contract in order to prevent the breeding of less than quality stock. Even with that they still produce pet quality pups though not as far off standard as you will find from breeders who do not know what they are doing.

You have a very cute little girl but she should not be bred for quality and health reasons. I know it sounds like a fun thing to breed little dogs but it is a business that can be very dangerous to your pet as well as painful to the pups you may produce.

If you feel you really want to show and breed purebreds then try attending some shows and meeting some good ethical, experienced breeders. It is a costly business. You have to be able to invest in expensive foundation stock and travel quite a bit in order to show your pups. Most people who are really dedicated to the idea find someone already in the industry that will teach them how to show (it's not easy. Some people hire professional handlers) and they help that person with the dogs and learn as they assist. You need a good foundational knowledge in genetics and you also need to know how to groom a show coat. There is a lot to it.

Do your little girl a favor. Spay her and enjoy her as the wonderful pet that she is. If you really want a show dog save your money and study genetics and the show industry. If you are still interested in breeding and showing contact someone in your area that is involved in a local conformation club. These clubs put on local AKC sanctioned dog conformation shows. You can find them on the clubs tab on the AKC website. Hopefully you can find someone who is knowledgeable and experienced that will teach you the ins and outs of the whole thing.

Personally, I prefer to enjoy the results of the hard work and dedication of a reputable breeder rather than jumping through the hoops that a really good show/breeder has to do.
