yeah I know there are bigger issue here and what I am saying is this... If you cannot stand up to your husband on this and do the right thing then you need to get the dogs fixed and SELL THEM TO BETTER HOMES. If you love them and are looking out for there best interest and your husband wants to be a heartless, greedy,selfish, sob then sell them to someone else then risk there lives and well being and don't get another animal ever. |
i agree its not your fault i agree with everyelse please spay her quickly ! |
well the fight is on ...:eek: i told him i wasn't breeding my dog . he is mad but i will be standing my gorund with him .. im not chancing her life for a dollar just to make he butt happy . thank you all for the information . Im am sorry if i bothered anyone :aimeeyork i told him i want to get her fixed so we will see what he has to say when he gets home from work . |
you could tell him your paying him back by not kicking his dumb a** out. just a suggestion. |
I am so happy you made the right decision. I would try and find a way to pay him back for the puppies, part time job, etc so that you have total control of those babies. I hope you stick around you will learn so much from here and make many friends who like you love their babies. |
Be careful Do you have kids? A job? This thread makes me nervous for you...... "wait till he gets home" does not sound good.... I hate to ask....but he is not "mean" to you is he???? Quote:

I don't hate you. You were smart enough to seek out information and ask questions. You have decided not to breed your little one and stand up to a husband that doesn't feel the love you do. Nuff said? BUT: Make the jerk buy you a full grown 8 lb yorkie for breeding if he is so set on it! |
could it be that this person is just trying to see what we all have to say!!!!!!!!!! Some of the other yorkie sites are having this same kind of postings by people that claim to be "new' but they were found out. Sorry if I'm wrong but something about this post just isn't right. |
JUST LET HIM KNOW IF YOU DO THIS.....YOU STAND A CHANCE OF LOSING YOUR DOG AND THE PUPPIES SO HE WONT GET HIS MONEY ANYWAY! please do it the right way.....ck and see if their are any studs in your area. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE wait til at least the 2nd heat cycle. their bodys (especailly being so small) are not mature. LIKE OTHERS HAVE SAID BEFORE.......LET YOUR HUSBAND READ ALL OF OUR RESPONSES. you have a lot of experience people here so they know what they are talking about. |
:animal-pa no my husband is not mean to me. he just trys to be the boss about the money... and for the one that thinks that i do this all the time im not sure what your talking about but im am not a fake im am new here and was truely looking for advice. not to sure what websites and people your talking about. Im a stay at home mom with five kids . im in school to become a preschool teacher. And I do love my yorkies :aimeeyork |
jm2c------------------ You *can* breed her. Look at 2 and 4 lb Chihuahua's doing it all the time. DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD however! There are sooooo many risks that come w/ breeding a small breed, let alone the smaller they are. So, the theory I propose is this....what if you did breed her to a better suited size male and something happened and she didn't survive and neither did any of the puppies? It's a realistic possibility. If YOU aren't wanting to do this and it wasn't your intentions....you're only doing it for your husband. DON'T. These are all the wrong reasons. You will no doubt feel terrible if the above happened, but moreso because it's not what you had intended to do w/ her. Breeding isn't just about putting two dogs together and letting nature take it's course and in 58-63 days *bam* you have a litter...it's not...not w/ Yorkies and small breeds especially. If he thinks he'll be getting $$ back, he is sorely mistaken. |
Honey I don't hate you... I feel sorry for you and the position you have been put in by your husband and the cost your dogs will have to pay for it. |
Brownie'smom, Are you the board enforcer or something? You seem to have it out for anyone who innocently makes a mistake or asks a question twice. People aren't perfect you know, and asking a question twice isn't a crime. With all due respect, have you taken your medication today? ;) |
Didn't you already ask some time ago about breeding your bigger male and smaller female?? I remember the advice you were given and it was the same as right now :( . Your male is almost twice the size of the female, she can die if there are complications with big puppies. |
blondflava....I think she did. May have been someone else. I don't care to search to find out. Point is, that it's not the best idea to be doing it, most especially for the reasons she's been given. |

THE BEST THING YOU DID WAS TO COME TO US (YES, SOME PEOPLE MAY BE A LITTLE HARSH ) BUT YOU GOT THE ANSWERS. NO ONE IS BOTHERED BY YOU. IF YOU DIDN'T COME TO US, YOU MAY HAVE DONE THE WRONG THING AND LOST YOUR LITTLE GIRL. WE WISH THE BEST FOR YOU WELCOME TO YORKIE TALK |
Im shocked on how some people here think that i have been here before. I have never asked this question before, i did post it 2x today but if you read all of my comments i didn't mean to, but never have i been on this site tell this week... i guess this is how some of you get the new ones to leave.. :( all i did was ask a question i am not going to let them breed so the ones that are good at given advice i thank you for the help but some people here are flat rude. |

Just a bit passionate about breeding correctly......If you plan to do this, please study the breed carefully. Get books on breeding to better the breed. Learn everything you can before you go near a whelping box. When you do breed make sure both your male and female are free of genetic and congenital defects and you have wonderful specimans of the breed. Hey! The breeding stuff ain't easy.....it's hard work and dedication....I wonder sometimes if those of us that do it are out of our minds. |
This thread is a perfect example of why many good breeders insist on a puppy spay contract. Would you want your puppy to go to a home that sees her as a moneymaking opportunity? See this thread for more information. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62820 Nancy |
Ayorkielover, some people do come on message boards and try to get everyone riled up. Please don't be offended by anyone's rudeness. People get very passionate about breeding dogs. You need to look at more websites about puppy mills, kill shelters, and horror stories about breeding. More importantly your husband needs to do this. People who love their dogs do not look at them as money making opportunities any more than we look at our children that way. Did your husband have five children with you to expect them to support him or make him money? I hope you stand up to him and get both dogs fixed. Your dogs obviously bring you happiness and I think your husband is very cruel to expect you to sell them if they aren't going to turn a profit for him. As far as repitition in postings, anyone can make a mistake, especially someone who might be new. We never know who is reading our posts and they might be very beneficial to those who might learn something valuable that they didn't know. |
Q. Let me ask you, did you know these were his plans before he purchased this "gift's" for "you"?....... These are gift's these were a money investment. OK, lets say this was the plan....wouldn't you do research first before investing. Most likely if you don't you loose....he lost for not doing any research and you for agreeing to it without doing your homework. Take the advice given here and translate it in his $$$$ language, write down how much more $$$$ you need to invest. Jill and Mardelin can you ladies help and give her a $$$$$ brake down from book, vet, testing, material needed, pups cost with and without complications .... oh, and being the first time the possibility of only One pup and the profit they will make on that one or two. Hopefully that will register. Good Luck to you... but I would approach him sensibly and not challenge his authority but play up to him. I will never play bash my DH again!!!:notworthy |
You were given alot of excellent advice here.. |

If he needs to get paid back, add up all of the chores, housecleaning, cooking, washing his clothes, ironing (if you do that), putting up with him, and least but not last sleeping with him. Tell him he has been paid in full ten folds over! I hope I haven't offended you, but don't let him bully you into doing an irresponsible thing breeding this baby! |
I hope you realize that we're all on YOUR side and trying to help you make a good argument for your husband. I especially liked the last post that Barb just made. She's made some great points. Here's some threads written by a woman who lost her mom after a Caesarian and what she went through to keep her puppies alive. It certainly wasn't a financially profitable situation: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sea...archid=1034251 Darling Husband should rethink things! |
When I bought my first Yorkie, 3 yrs ago it was with the intentions of breeding her...Not to make money...more for wanting another puppy and not wanting to spend over another 1000.00...I have, in the past, bred Golden Retrievers...After doing much research I decided this wouldn't be in the best interest in my Sadie...I would never want to do anything that would jepordize her life and....the cost of raising puppies isn't cheap or if she needed a C-section...in the end it would have ended up costing me more than if I had just bought another Yorkie...Hubby new I wanted to breed..(he loves the girls but, not into them like I am) he too wasn't happy when I told him I wasn't going to breed...He thought I just told him that so I could get a dog...He doesn't really understand the breed and feels because they are "animals" that nature would just take it's course....As I said, I have been a Yorkie owner for 3 yrs now and just bought another yorkie girl back in August... I did alot of research and read all the books I could find before buying one. That being said.....I WILL NOT BREED! I am leaving that to the professionals. And as for hubby....he still can't understand why I won't breed and I really don't care....these are MY furbabies and I WILL NOT do anything that could cause me to lose them... I can't believe that a husband would either let you buy or buy you a dog and then EXPECT YOU to pay HIM back! I would just take your little girl to the vet and have her spayed without him even knowing... |
