Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Hi and welcome to YT . Can I ask why you want to breed him? I ask bc I'm not sure you know what can happen w/ a male when you start to use him as a stud... For me, I just want my beloved pets to be able to live as pets.

| It will change him and he will probably start marking all over your house. I personally would leave breeding to the pros and just get him fixed and love him as a pet.

YT 1000 Club Member | i haven't bred yet, as I'm still researching. Do you have breeder/mentor who can assist you with what to expect when it comes to studding including but not limited to possible behavior changes, contracts, testing, evaluate your potential stud, etc? The Breeding Forum may have more information regarding this in comparison to the General section(use the search function...most questions have already been answered). I find the AKC website has very good information as well and I've provided the link for you. Welcome to YT btw!!!

| Contact a show breeder a reputable one and have your male evaluated for conformation type. Health testing should be done and have the 5 generation pedigree and contact all the breeders who own/bred those dogs to find out about health issues in any of them. How many were shown and how many in the pedigree championed? Vet check for heart, knees, full blood panel. Grow out the coat and show him to Championship. Campaign him if he is worthy. You will now have spent around $2000+ dollars likely more if you have a professional handler show him. You will not have to look for someone willing to breed their female to your male if you do all this. If you don't the only interest you will have is from some back yard breeders who know little or nothing about the breed and why the purebred dog, if used for breeding should be very selectively chosen to pass on his genes. The criteria is particularly stringent for the stud dog although any good breeder pays a lot of attention to the quality of their females as well. Cute or being intact doesn't make the breeding dog. Contributing to the betterment of the breed should always be foremost in any breeding. |

| Usually arrangements are made through networking, social ties. For inexperienced breeders, studding can result in injury (seriously! Many Yorkies have to be physically assisted by the breeder), sexually transmitted diseases, and financial responsibility if the puppies produced have health problems. Often studding requires the male to spend a couple weeks at the breeder's home. My boys, as wonderful as what I think they are, are only "pet" quality Yorkies. That is why I had them neutered (and it was required by our breeder's contract).

| I hate to be blunt, but after the advice above, I would concur. There are too many dogs out here from incompetent breeders. As the owner of one, I would simply say "Don't do it". |

| Get him genetically tested, and have him evaluated. If he is a good healthy specimen with a good temperament and represents the standard then he may make a good stud but not all dogs will mate or even have interest in mating. He also has to be "proven" meaning have produced a litter in order for a lot of legit breeders to consider him. He could be a diamond in the rough. There are a lot of fantastic representations of the breed living in homes as pets with no ring experience or championships. Its all about genetics. it won't hurt to have him professionally assessed. |
