| ![]() Okay, Thanks... I Got Alot To Consider... I Appreciate The Lesson...i'll Be A Whole Lot More Careful When Chosing A "mutt" For My Mutt... Or I'll Be Visiting The Shelter To Find One... I Will Look Out For The Health Of The "mutt" If I Breed Her At All.... Maybe You Should Say Something Better Than I Don't Care For Her Health... I Thought I Was Talking To A Mature Adult.... There Really Is Alot To Consider On The Lineage Of The Sire, Whether Its Chihuahua Or Poodle Or Whatever It May Be... Her Size Is The Main Concern, I Didn't Realize Ther Is Alot To Consider... You Should Say Something Better Than How You Did... Like..... Maybe...... Becareful In Chosing The Male Background And The Health Of His Lineage Before Mating Her So To Not To Ruin Her Or Put Her In Danger...i Was Just Looking For Advice Today And Got A Whole History Lesson On Breeding, Kool... Have A Nice Week

| ![]() one more thing as well. Many times mixed breed pups become larger than their partents. For ex. a friend of ours has a mix of a small Poodle and Silky Terrier but her dog is huge ![]() So even though the puppies might be born small they might grow big. beside that I agree with most people here, your girl sounds like she is too small and there are so many risks with breeding her, you must be ready to lose her in the progress before going on with something like this. Also I do not agree with breeding mixed breeds. There are plenty of homeless/unwanted mixed breed pups and bringing more mixed pups into the world will not help. I would rather incurage your friends, that want a pup from your girl, to go to a shelter/rescue and save a puppy there ![]() |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | ![]() Well - I wasn't going to post but if you already thought she was too small - why risk it ? I could never risk the life of either of my girls and you have no idea how much I'd love to have puppies in my house to be honest - breeding a yorkie with a very tiny Chi doesn't seem like a very good idea to me at all. All the best to you - I have a feeling you'll do whatever you want to do and hope it all turns out well.... |

| ![]() Putting the mix issues aside, She is to small to safely breed. Could she have a normal delivery, yes. When things go bad it's not pretty or for the novice and the cost is extreme. Pup gets stuck and you are rushing to the ER for a $1,500 c-sec. Pups might not make it and mom is worn out and very sore. ( you could loose her too ) Get home mom doesn't know where these pups came from and what to do. You are feeding the pups every two hrs, wiping their butts, weight them to make sure they are gaining weight, making sure they are not to hot on the heating pad or not to cold. FORGET SLEEPING or going to work. Pups get sick or mom get sick after the surgery and back to the vet for hand over more $$. I have been a breeder for 4 yrs ( breeding 6-7 lb females )and when things go wrong it is over the top worry and anxiety for a long time until things settle down and you get the pups and the mom on track. It is just sooooooo not worth putting your dog at risk ( even if your vet says she could have pups) He won't be the one up all night feeding , or running to the ER. |

When it comes to quality, most people on here are also thinking of all the health problems that can occur with this breed. Like many people i too had a dream of breeding my boy and taking care of a few of his babies.. But after doing my reasearch I feel that breeding is best left to the experts.There is so much money that goes into the love and birth of a Yorkie. Vet check up before. ultrasound and xrays during the pregancy, more money spent on visiting a vet when she is in labor because the bitch is having problems during whelping(maybe a pup is stuck in the birth canal blocking others from coming out and jepardizing the health of each pup). So like i did and leave the breeding up to the experts, for the sake of both the chihuahua and Yorkie standard. | |
