You could go to the breeders section and find a lot of info and stories there...both with happy endings and sad endings. It will be a personal choice of yours if you are up to the risk and committment (and the joy and satisfaction is all goes perfectly). Talk to your Mom, see how she felt about it now that you can understand it from an adult's perspective.

oK pleased thats sorted, unfortunatley money is what makes the world go round and people will breed anyhing to make a quick buck. Its sad people are scammed and animals are exploited through money, but there is nothing we can really do. Good luck on your search for a chihuahua, i would like one they are cute!

Yep,that true

Thanks, i think yorkies much more cuter than chihuahuas by the way

My husband and I went to dinner tonight and we talked about it for the LAST TIME

We are going to get Phoebe fixed. I just read all of your comments and I appreciate everyone's feedback. I do agree with a lot of you. I have 2 female Boxers. One of which we adopted b/c someone probably felt she wasn't up to the STANDARD BOXER and it just made me sick. She is the most loveable dog there is. I don't care if she's smaller than the norm or her tail isn't docked right. I feel there are so many animals out there that do need homes and animal population of strays is just sad. Some people are uneducated with buying dogs that once they reach a certain age they don't want them anymore. I don't want to be possibly apart of that when there are so many animals out there already that need homes.

I for sure would not have been in it for the money. But truthfully I do not want to see Phoebe go through that. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I just don't think it's the right thing for us.

So we agreed...tomorrow I'm calling to make her appt. for 3wks. YIKES. Now I'll be stressed about that, ha. You'd think with 2 other dogs I'd be used to it...NOPE, it never gets easier to put them into surgery

Thanks again for all your help. That's why I love this website!

But there is a thread here about "black yorkie"...and (i know many people here will hate me for it), but i don''t think it's a good idea to breed those kind of dogs...

I think you should re-read that post. If I am not mistaken(yter's help me out here) This member had said they were buying a yorkie from a breeder and the puppy was mostly black. I don't believe the breeder was intentionally breeding for a black yorkie.

Well to be honest i would not ever ask this question here again i love YT and there is some great advice here but this is a topic that brings out the beast here and when i asked this question just to get knowledge i felt like i got bashed and also i felt that people were talking about me on other threads about it yes i know everyone has their opinion and i am the first to say take what you want from the thread and ignore the rest but this is a topic that gets out of hand here. I feel it's your dog and yes i do think people should adopt we have adopted 2 cats and a black lab but not everyone wants to adopt and even if you didn't breed your dog someone else would breed theirs yorkies are in demand and no i don't think you should breed to just breed but if you are serious about it and you come here looking for advice i think thats what you should get not the OMG you are so cruel to your dog speech. People really if someone is going to breed their dog they will regardless of what we say or don't say shouldn't we give advice to help them do it so that there isn't a problem later? I love YT and i think it is the most wonderful place to talk and learn about our yorkies but lately i am really getting tired of the bashing and hatefulness towards each other we need to ban together to help each other. I'm sorry i didn't want to write a letter here and please don't take me wrong you all know i love you here.

Melania I think your doing the right thing by getting her fixed. You have to think of it this way, was she bought to be your pet and best friend? If your answer is yes, then risking her life to breed her would not be worth it. I know you love her and it would just devastate you if anything would happen to her.
Let us know when the spaying appt is, you will be in my thoughts and prayers!

I have to say thank you for all the homeless, abandoned dogs out there. God bless you for caring about all the helpless pets.

I know as you said on the other tread that you english is bad but I looked at some of your theads that you started. Let me first say I see no problem with it, and Second Why are you so Mean I don't know anything about you culture but in the US and many other places We treat people the way we would like to be treated. Please Read your posts Before sending them. There are alot of new members that run away because they ask a honest (?) And people chace them away With what they say. There is a oe saying * If you can't say anything nice than don't say anything at all.* Thank you
