Looking to mate Hi guys My name is William and I,m looking to mate my yorkie. His name is Buddy Love. He is a great dog. He's very smart, handsome and has a great temperment. Buddy does alot of tricks and melts in your arms when you pick him up. The problem is that Buddy is alittle big. He weighs 10lbs, but a better dog you couldn't fined and did I mention really good looking. I really don't want to mate him to sell the pups. As a matter of fact, I would keep them all. I just want another dog that shares his genes. Please help me Respectfully William |
I think you might have some trouble finding a female to mate with since your male is 10 lbs and a female need to be bigger than that. Most breeders dont have females that big since the standard iis 7 lbs and under. |

sleepless in connecticut Hi guys Thanks for your responses. I'm aware of the standards, but maybe I'll find a big girl out there. Respectfully Buddy Love |
Best of luck in your search! |
1st all welcome to YT! I agree with everyone else, you should not mate a 10lb yorkie. |
Yorkies that are over the standard are hard to find homes for. many of them end up in the shelters. You might want to reconsider and have him neutered ad look for a standard size if you want to get into breeding. Most studs are 5 pound or less. Welcome to Yt. |
If you want one 'of his genes' why not have him neutered and then go back to the breeder where you got Buddy and get a companion for him from the same parents? Just because you breed your Buddy doesn't guarantee you'll have a litter full of 'little buddies'...they each have their own personalities and there are throw backs to anscestors in litters all the time...they could all turn out different than your Buddy and then what? |
Hi Guys Thanks for your responses. It is easy for you to say "have him neutered", but you don't know my dog. He is the best dog ever. As per purchasing a dog from the breeder were I got Buddy, she has moved and I haven't been able to find her. Respectfully William |
Hi William. Are you afraid neutering him will change him in some way or does he have a medical issue that prevents you from wanting him to be put under? Both of my boyz are neutered and so was my last Yorkie, Boog, and it didn't change any of them a bit. They're all sweet as can be and they love to snuggle. |

It's wonderful that you love your dog so much. You yourself can see the problem. Buddy is just too big to reproduce with most yorkie females. Buddy was probably a 7-9 oz puppy when he was born. Most Yorkie puppies are 2-4 oz when they're born, anything bigger and some momma's have serious problems. You say that you would keep the puppies yourself. Traditionally, the puppies belong to the owner of the female. You would have to purchase them from the owner. Another dog does share parts of his genes, actually 2: his momma and his daddy. There will never be another dog exactly like Buddy Love. He is one of a kind and he is yours. Each animal is unique and sometimes that one comes along that is our soulmate and is connected to our heart. It is our responsibility then to love them as much as we can for their entire life. You are doing that with Buddy. |

Do your research. This has been discussed many times here on YT so you can learn quite a bit using the search feature. You might find info that you've never thought of. Do you know about testing for stds? Health testing? What happens if there is only one puppy? Or a boy and a girl and you both want the boy? I'm not a breeder so I'm sure there are more important questions than those that I'm not thinking of but I'm trying to make a point. Learn as much as you can and after, if you're sure you want to breed, get everything in writing. And last but not least, know there is a very good chance you might turn your best dog ever into a marking, humping machine. Whatever you decide, best of luck!! |
Hi Guys Thanks again for your responses. As a matter of fact I have done my research. My brother was a breeder and I understand about stud fees and pick of the litter. I'm also a registered nurse and understand that both dogs contribute to the genetic breakdown of the pups. In humans its 26 chromosomes from each parent. My responce to the lady who how asked, if I love my dogs: you have no idea how much I love them. I also have a female, which my wife and I had purchased to mate with Buddy. I see it as parent who would like to get grand chrildren from their kids. I really don't want to offend anyone, but this is something I want to do. If one of Buddy's pups come out half as smart as Buddy, I would be very happy. Respectfully William |
Someone on here had a bigger female yorkie, you may have to do a search to find the post. Maybe they would be willing to mate. Good luck |
Thanks But how would I fined that post. I'm new to this site. I would appreciate your help. |
If you already have a female then why are you still looking for a female to mate him with |

I'd just cherish Buddy, and feel grateful that you have been allowed to have him in your life! |
10 lb buddy Please dont mate buddy to any size female, he is way to big, and would more than likely throw very large pups. You would be putting the female life in jeopardy mating her with such a large stud. Please reconsider this" Buddy is one of a kind and cannot be reproduced. Just love him with all your heart, and be happy you have him to love.:D |

I think his mind is made up. He wants to make a stud muffin out of Buddy. :( |
do not mate this male to any female that's smaller than him it could kill her to have bigger puppys! and you would most likely have a hard time finding homes for such big yorkie puppys but are you willing to see a female die during birth or keep all the puppys you can't find homes for ? |
No one is trying to be mean here. No one is saying that you Buddy is not perfect for you they are just trying to warn you of the risk it would put on the female's life. When someone breeds a dog it is first for the love of that breed. You want to improve the breed but keep it true to the breed standerds. We love our yorkies and want them to be small, happy and most of all healthy |

Good luck to you and buddy. It's funny how these furballs nestle right into our hearts! |
You could try a search using the nickname "teapot." That is an affectionate term used for the larger sized Yorkies. All the Yorkie experts say not to breed out of standard yorkies -- that would be any over 7 pounds. But.....if you are determined....who am I to think it is wrong, I am no expert for sure. Just find a female that is plenty big, maybe a couple pounds heavier than your big boy. Then, I would still have a vet weigh in on the mating. See if he thinks it is safe. Then be sure you are very willing to take all the offspring -- obviously large yorkies are not that much in demand. Yorkie stud fees do not usually include pick of the litter (they run less than the cost of one puppy, unless you have a prime sire) so you may have to negotiate a package deal with the potential mother's owner. You might find a like-minded owner who would love to have an offspring of her own dog, that would make matters easier for both. Just be very careful -- as someone who has unxpectedly lost their Yorkie (not breeding -- but at a groomers) I can tell you it is a pain deeper than you would ever expect! Best of luck to you! |
Are you aware that once a male dog starts breeding he will lose his close bond with you and be much more interested in “other things”? Think of an 8-year-old boy vs. an 18-year-old boy. Also, unneutered male dogs are much more likely to get hit by cars in their search for “other things”. There is also a greater risk of cancer in unneutered male dog. So if you really love Buddy maybe you could look into cloning.:) Nancy |
Good luck to you in your search. It is going to be hard finding someone willing to put their female at risk. |
