Poor puppy!!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

mrs. chris · 09-25-2006, 08:59 PM

my friend and i both bought two females from the same litter. Her puppy was the runt and doesn't even weigh three pounds. She was going to get her fixed because she was so little but now she told me she is going to buy a male and breed her!!!

I know she loves this baby with all of her heart and i tried to tell her that her puppy would have serious problems and might even die if she bred her. she wouldn't listen so i asked her to at least talk to our vet for his expert opinion. my hubby says she'll just have to learn the hard way but it is breaking my heart because she has always wanted a little lapdog and saved up her money for a few years for her yorkie. i don't know what else to do. i love her little dog to and don't want to see her die from birthing complications. i just don't know what else to do.

How old is her dog? If she realizes that she might lose her dog with a pregnancy what is her reasoning for doing it? Why not have her join YT and she can see and hear for herself what has happened to others who might have tried the same thing....other than that, although your sad your husband is right, she will just have to learn the hard way...or perhaps God willing she will do ok...

She might have affection for her dog but no love. If she already has been warned and insist on doing this than she has no regards for the wellbeing of her dog first and foremost.

Unfortunately this happens all the time. I know a friend who wants to breed hers and she is too small also. But you try and try to tell them but in the end they are going to do whatever they want no matter what you say.

I know how you feel, like the situation is hopeless. They refuse to listen but in the end they are going to be the ones who wish they would have listened. It is so sad that they won't listen and have to learn this the hard way.

Oh no! Invite her to YT. Good luck

I know a lady who has a couple of 3 pound yorkies she repeatedly breeds(she uses a smaller stud). She has two litters due this year. I don't think her vet sees a problem with it. He deals with small animals and hasn't told her not to do it. I know she just got two more females(one is going to be smaller than 3pounds grown) and I know she will use it for breeding. While I could never breed an animal to make money(that's just me), I wonder how come chihuahuas can have puppies and they are usually much smaller than yorkies but everyone feels so strongly against breeding small yorkies?

I'm just asking because when people see my tiny female they think "oh you should breed her and the puppies will sell for sooo much". I tell them that she is much too small and would need a c-section. Their reply is usually "What's wrong with that? People have c-sections all the time and tiny poodles and chihuahuas have puppies all the time."

chachi · 09-26-2006, 04:54 AM

After she has to shell out the money for a c section iit may stop her from breeding her

yorkieusa · 09-26-2006, 06:51 AM

Apparently, the dollar signs are much bigger than her love for her puppy. That is all I have to say.

As for chihuahua's, the one's I've seen during my lifetime, the females used to breed are bigger than that.

There are deplorable breeding practices everywhere, but a responsible and reputable breeder doesn't do these things.

loool You're too funny Gina, and I totally agree with you. Someone who "loves" their baby would never ever put them through that. But I know how hard it is to get through to people sometimes. Maybe you can e-mail her some sad birthing stories (I know sounds horrible), to make her think.

I would NEVER delibrately do something to one of my dogs if there was the slightest chance that they would suffer any pain, etc. This whole topic upsets me. We all want to make money, but when you risk the health of your animal, you should really have second thoughts. Sometimes people really disappoint me.

tell her to let you have the little dog you feel as if she doesn't love her enough to treat her properly then maybe she will take you seriuosly when you say it's not good /healthy to breed such a small dog!

Your friend loves money....not her yorkie.
