I Need A Toy Boy Yorkie
 

I HAVE A 20 MONTH OLD YORKIEHUAHUA, SHE LOOKS MORE LIKE A YORKIE WITH BIG EARS. SHE'S ONLY THREE- lbs. AND HAS THE BIGGEST HEART. HER GRANDMOTHER WAS TOY YORKIE AND GRANDFATHER IS CHIHUAHUA, BUT VERY SMALL.... I'D LIKE TO MATE HER WITH A TOY YORKIE THAT IS FULL GROWN WEIGHS NO MORE THAN HER (3LBS), NO PAPERS ARE NEEDED... SHE'S COMING INTO HER THIRD HEAT THIS MONTH OF AUGUST, WHICH I'D LIKE TO SKIP, AND GET HER READY FOR HER NEXT HEAT IN FEBUARY OF 08... SHE NEEDS TO GET CHECKED OUT PRYOR BY OUR VET, BUT I'D LIKE TO GET A PUPPY OFF OF HER... I WILL PAY FOR STUD SERVICE BECAUSE SHE WAS ONLY ONE BORN OF THE LITTER HER MOTHER HAD SO I'M NOT SURE HOW MANY PUPS SHE'LL HAVE... HER MOTHER HAD A SECOND LITTER OF THREE. IF THERES ANYBODY CLOSE TO OR AROUND THE HARBOR AREA OF CALI, PLEASE E-MAIL ME BEFORE 2008.

She sounds to small to breed. The size of the male does not always reflect the size of the pups. You have to look at the bloodlines & the size of the grandparents.
Also most Yorkie breeders are trying to inprove the standard so will not breed to anything else.
Sorry, don't mean to sound so negative. :( LMO.

I breed my first Yorkie, Duke to my sisters CHIHUAHUA. She is due to deliver around the 23rd of this month. I was calling them "Chorkies"
I lost Duke during the time we were breeding and wasn't sure it "Took" but I guess it did. I'm not sure now if I can let go of any of his pups, since he is now gone.
If you find a little one to breed to good luck and show us pictures. I'll post mine after they arrive.

Please don't breed a 3.5lb female. She is too small to be bred and she may die. Also, please don't breed mixed breed dogs. There are enough dogs in the shelter as it is right now. Please have her spayed and let her be your baby. Don't put her through the high risk of pregnancy being so small.

Thanks So Much For The Quick Response!!!... I Thought That Might Be A Problem With Her Size... I'm Gonna Have Her Checked Out Totally For Sure Before Doing Anything... I Don't Need Something That Bad As To Hurt Her...is It Possible To Find Something Her Size Or Smaller Or Not At All...? I Appreciate All Of Your Comments... I Will Stay Positive, But I Understand If Its Not Possible...i Enjoy Reading All Of Your Comments... Live On Yorkies!!!!

I would never recommend breeding a 3 lb female. You will be putting her at such a high risk pregnancy and even death trying to give birth to puppies. Its best to have her spayed and keep her as a pet only IMO.

You could just buy another puppy or look on www.petfinder.com
I cannot believe how many yorkie and chi puppies and adults are in need of a home. You might give that a shot...

your probably right... she is very small... all my family and friends will understand... soooo many want a little bit of her... but they'll have to wait for something else, thanks for the info of where to look...

I put flyers up to look for a stud
I got a good response.. and I live in a small town
Sounds like you are takeing the right steps about this
I do understand wanting a baby from your baby
Good luck..

male can be very small (which is already not good following standard, btw), but you must know his bloodlines since he can make BIG puppies. Size no matter. females less that 5 pounds and more that appx 6.5 are NOT recommended for breeding ;)
Plus, so many mixed breed in shelter:( .
Breed right, or don't breed ! :) ;)

Are you aware that FIFTEEN MILLION animals were put to death in American shelters last year? Animals sentenced to die simply for the crime of being born in an overpopulated world. Some of us (such as myself) who work in animal sheltering and rescue, see this needless death every single day of the year. Purebred, mixed breed, it makes no difference... all are euthanized. Twenty five to forty percent of the dogs area shelters take in are purebred, and roughly twenty five percent of all dogs euthanized are purebred. The remainder are perfectly good, healthy, mixed breed dogs. Not a thing in the world wrong with them. And yet they are destroyed, each and every day, in staggering numbers. It tends to make those of us working in these fields a little militant about breeding.

Does that mean all of us are anti-breeding? No, of course not. Those of us with more than a spoonful of common sense realize that responsible breeding is vital to ensuring the continuation of breeds and sound, healthy bloodlines. The key, however, is RESPONSIBLE breeding. That means no intentional breeding of mixed breed dogs. That means no breeding for profit. That means no breeding of animals out of standard. That means no breeding of untested pets... both health testing and behavior testing. That means not intentionally breeding for pet quality animals.

The best breeding always results in some pet quality animals as well as the hoped-for show and competition animals. Breed for a PURPOSE.

You want to breed Chesapeake Retrievers? Fantastic! But breed them to either competition or field standards. You want to breed Cocker Spaniels? GREAT! But breed them to be gun dogs, to be the single best representation of the breed. Breed them the way they're supposed to be bred... not to simply fill some niche in a market that needn't exist.

If you want to breed Chihuahuas, breed Chihuahuas... but don't try to create some 2.5 pound, deer headed neurotic monstrosity just so some Paris Hilton-wannabe can carry it around in her purse until she loses interest in it. Don't breed "teacup" dogs. They don't exist. Period. They are simply runts with a clever name.
Don't breed Labradoodles. It's not a breed. They aren't hypoallergenic. Ditto for any other poodle-oodle-doodle mix. They aren't breeds... they are cleverly named marketing ploys.

They are, in reality, mutts... and millions upon millions of mutts are put to death in American shelters every year. Thousands every day.

Unless you are breeding the highest caliber of dogs, unless you are responsibly breeding purebreeds, breeding for purpose, tracing pedigrees and paying attention to genetics, unless you are breeding in conformance with REAL kennel club standards (and this doesn't mean CKC or APRI or any of the other illegitimate registries... UKC and AKC are the primary ones here in the US... most others service mills and bad breeders), unless you are planning litters MONTHS in advance, and have potential adopters lined up before conception occurs, DON'T BREED.

Don't think this applies just to dogs. More cats are killed annually in America than dogs. Summertime in American shelters is pure hell. It is Kitten Season. Cats are seasonal breeders. Queens come into season and breed in the spring, and May through November, the offspring POUR into the shelters. Thousands each day into Western Washington shelters alone... seven days a week. There is simply no way we can find homes for all of them. Hell, we're lucky to find homes for HALF of them. The other half wind up dead... laying on the killing room floor with the gleam of life fading from their eyes. SPAY OR NEUTER, PEOPLE! Unless you've got CFA Championship cats, SPAY OR NEUTER. There is absolutely no need to allow your animals to reproduce. Trust me, there are far too many doing that on a daily basis. Shelters nationwide are full to overflowing... and the blood of innocents is stilled each and every day. Tens of thousands of animals forfeit their lives for the crime of being born. And it is due entirely to human selfishness or ignorance.

Believe me, I know. I see it, seven days a week. I'm the guy holding the needle. I am the death-bringer at a Western Washington shelter. Each and every morning, I get to start my day by injecting somnolent death into the veins of the Puget Sound's unwanted animals. Every single day, forced to clean up the messes of others via euthanasia. Nothing would make me happier than to go into work tomorrow and have no surplus animals to euthanize... but the sad reality is that euthanasia will ALWAYS be necessary, simply because people will ALWAYS treat their pets as property and a means of income. People will ALWAYS continue to breed irresponsibly. But please, do your part. Spay or neuter your pets. If you want to breed, pleasee make sure your animal DESERVES to have it's genetics carried on into a new generation. Breeding is not a right, but a responsibility. It is a job, and it takes effort to do it right. The penalty for doing it wrong just means a continuation of the endless cycle of death.

BREED RESPONSIBLY, or DON'T BREED! Any questions?

PS: I like this letter and completely agree with every word, but I don't know the author.

I AM GONNA BREED RESPONSIBLY, THATS WHY I'M LOOKING 6MONTHS AHEAD OF TIME IF THE VETS SAYS SHE'S FINE AND I KNOW WHERE HER BABIES ARE GONNA GO, IF SHE HAS ENOUGH...I WOULD NEVER BUY FROM A BREEDER BECAUSE OF TH FACT THAT ALOT OF SHELTERS ARE EUTHANIZING... I KNOW FOR A FACT WHEN LOOKING FOR MY BUDDY THAT THE SHELTERS RE IN THE SOULTHLAND DON'T EUTHANIZE LIKE THEY USED TO. AND THATS WHERE I FOUND MY BUDDY, WHO TO ME IS A WHOLE LOT SMARTER THAN SOME OF THESE PUREBREADS, DON'T GET ME WRONG.... I WAS RAISED AROUND LARGER PUREBREEDS, ITS WHEN I GREW UP TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE SHELTERS DID I THEN START PROMOTING ADOPTIONS TO ALL MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND ANYBODY LOOKING FOR A PET TO GO TO A SHELTER, EXCEPT FOR KRISSY, SHE WAS GIVEN TO ME AND I'M GONNA DO THE BEST TO FIND THE RIGHT MALE FOR HER IF AT ALL.... IM GONNA DO WHATS IN HER BEST INTEREST IF THE VET SAYS OK. I'M GONNA GET A BABY FROM MY BABY AND I WILL KNOW EXACTLY WHERE HER BABIES WILL GO, IF THEY GO AT ALL... I JUST MIGHT KEEP ALL OF THEM, EVEN IF ITS OF SOME OTHER BREED... IT WOULD BE GREAT TO FIND A MALE YORKIE, EVEN IF HE IS A RUNT, CHECKED OUT AND HEALTHY. I COULDN'T ASK FOR ANYTHING MORE!!!!

Responsible breeders (AKA Reputable breeders) do not intentionally breed mixed breed dogs. They do not breed 3lb dogs. When you are breeding purebred dogs, you have a comformation standard to breed to - there is a purpose to breeding purebreds - and that is to get a dog that matches the standard as closely as possible. There is no purpose to breeding mixed breed dogs. I know you want another dog just like the one you have, but that is not how genetics works. The puppies will get half of their genes from the mother and half from the father. They may not look like the mother or act like the mother at all. The puppies may kill the mother as they are being born and you may be left with several puppies to bottle feed every two hours. There really is a high risk of you losing your female by breeding her. And honestly, the puppies are not going to be just like your female. Genetics are very complicated, and when you are breeding mixed dogs it's even more complicated...giving you even less of a chance of getting a puppy just like your female. All of those friends and family that want a puppy from you - why don't they adopt a yorkie, chihuahua, or a yorkie/chihuahua mix from a rescue? There are a lot out there that need homes. Please be responsible and spay your little girl

Sorry, but you are NOT going to breed responsible because...

- your female is simple MUTT

- her size is WAY TO SMALL for breeding

- you don't care about male's papers, however it is VERY important to KNOW his history. That mean you don't care about health of your dog and puppies. Maybe he has genetic problems? (with his size :thumbdown he probably will). Maybe he is runt himself, but makes BIG babies? What happen to your tiny girl then?

- have you even done genetic testing?

Sorry, but this is the true.... :rolleyes:

we wrote at same time :) :thumbup:

too small
 

GREAT POST!!!
Let us hope she listens to you ...
3.5 lbs is way too small to have pups ...:2omg:

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

Please don't think we are being rude to you. We just want you to know that there is a lot of responsibility that goes along with breeding. It takes years of researching your chosen breed and knowledge of genetics to breed the right way - as does it take a lot of researching and mentoring about breeding dogs in general. There are so many factors, so many risks, so many things that can go wrong...we just want you to really consider this. Responsible breeding isn't just putting a male and a female together and letting them breed and it's much more than about size. A responsible breeder chooses a male and female based on their qualities and lineage and chooses to breed a pair because they should produce puppies that improve the breed. If you're really interested in breeding, start talking to others that breed, attend dog shows, find a mentor. When you are ready invest in a quality breeding pair that have been shown and proven to meet the standard. No one thinks less of your dog because she is mixed - I think we love all dogs here - we just don't all agree with what a lot of "breeders" choose to do such as breeding tinies and mixed breed dogs intentionally. I know we would all LOVE to see pictures and hear more about your baby. Just because we don't agree with breeding mixed breed dogs intentionally does not mean we don't like them - I think there are some adorable mixes out there.

NAH, THANKS.... YOU JUST NEED TO LIGHTEN UP A BIT THERE, MISSY.... LOL I HAD NO IDEA OF SO MUCH TO THINK ABOUT, THIS IS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR ALL THE INSIGHT I COULD FIND, YOU JUST HAVE A WAY WITH WORDS:rolleyes: I'M NOT GONNA DO ANYTHING TO HURT KRISSY... NOW I KNOW ALOT MORE FROM A DIFFERENT PERSECTIVE, THANK YOU SO MUCH... I HAVE BUDDY AND KRISSY, THATS ALL I NEED!!!! THERS A WHOLE LOT TO CONSIDER... SHE IS TOO SMALL, HER BONE STRUCTURE IS TOO SMALL TO GIVE BIRTH, I THOUGHT THAT WAS TRUE TO BEGIN WITH. I WANTED OTHER OPINIONS AND I GUESS I GOT PRETTY GOOD FRIENDS TO TEACH ME A THING OR TWO ABOUT BREEDING HER, THANKS, SO MUCH... AS SOON AS I LEARN TO PUT A PICTURE UP BETTER THAN WHAT I AHVE I'LL POST THEM

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 :eek: is the size of a border collie almost. Also know mixes of Pomeranian and Chihuahua who are bigger than both parents. And much more.
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 ;) Save a life there

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....

How would you go about looking for a stud? Im curious on how this could be done. I have a boy who is 8lbs and GORGEOUS! His coat is silky, his ears are up, he's very healthy, his coloring is beautiful! (proud mom I am!!! :D ) anyways... I know hes a lb bigger than the breed standard but I would like to stud him out or at least try. Im on the fence about this and have made NO decisions on whether I would do it or not. I would like to see his pups but have NO desire for another dog for myself, so I'd just want a stud fee. Any ideas on this? Also any advice you'd give me?

Thanks!

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.

No Not All, Now. I Do Listen.... To Everything... I Agree She's Toooo Small. I Didn't Realize That Cause I Had No Idea About Yorkies... She's Fine Just The Way She Is... I Can't Dare Put Her Through The Risk... I've Never Seen Such A Small Dog Like Krissy... So Adorable... Itty Bitty... I'm Not Going To Breed Her....thanks For The Info

Hey mama! If the people in this thread were being rude i would be the first to say something. However i agree with them IMO your pet should not be bread because of the reasons that they stated. I know of one lady here who bred her female and almost lost her, and the puppies were sickly.

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.
