yeah , we will probably breed her when shes old and mature enough . her mom is heavier 6 pounds but her dad is 3, she's probably the runt of the litter.when do you think we should start to breed her. Her mom was 2 and a half years old. |
Why do you want to breed her? |
If she is under 5 pounds she should not be bred and you need to make sure you get health and genetic testing done. The only reason one should breed is to better the breed. |
she is from champion bloodlines and she will probably grow a little more. My purpose for breeding is to show and/or companionship. |
[QUOTE=pink66;4386558]Why do you want to breed her?[she comes from a long line of purebreds and some champions. I will breed her for showing and companionship. |

It surprises me that if she came from really good lines then why do you have breeding rights? Most reputable breeders work extremely hard for there lines and don't just let anyone have the rights to them. |
Is she still tiny? If so, you will have a difficult time showing her (well maybe not showing but winning) and you would really be taking a risk breeding her. But if not, I would say jump in there and go to a show. It's a lot of fun and it can be a really positive experience for both of you! You'll meet some great people and you'll learn a lot. Most of us that show, usually finish our dogs before breeding because it's so hard to maintain a full coat and even harder with a pregnant/nursing mom. |

roni our last yorkie was a very standard yorkie 5.5 pounds ble and tan but then suddenly he died from old age. the breeders we got kari from are the breeders who had competed with us and roni. the knew him for 10 years and his passing was horrible so we got one of theirs and decided to breed her so we can contine the championship lines. |

I'm very sorry about your loss. Many people are unaware of the risks with Yorkies, particularly when they are tiny, so I wanted to let you know. |
yeah I get that that's why ill wait till shes grown cause shes still a pup now and might still grow. her mom is 6 and her dad is around 5. so do you think she will grow to be 5lbs. thanks |
