Duncan; there are a series of specific tests both the male and female should have done prior to breeding.

Not all show dogs are weak, namby pamby's; mine certainly isn't. He has no problems keeping up on hikes with our big 100+ pound dogs. He swims, dock dives, hikes, does obedience and rally. He also happens to be a Grand Champion as well.

Am i in the wrong?

Yes you are? Why does she need to know what it is like to be a Mother?

If you purchased her from a shady store, she most likely unfortunately came from a puppy mill. Her parents are still probably suffering in their cages in that horrid puppy mill she came from. Even tho your vet gave her a clean bill of health, you have no idea what kind of faults/illnesses her line carries...i.e. hernias, liver shunts, lp, open fontanel, those are only a few.
But she's already w/a male...hope they didn't tie & you have more time to think things over.

Do you know about AAI, Chiari, LP, LS as these are some things you could be passing on to the pups & potential owners as you don't really know her history & is why it would be best to just spay your girl & be happy with her as I am sure you would not want to create pups that could possibly have any of these conditions & it is highly likely that your girl could throw pups with 1 or more of these conditions, even if she shows No signs herself. Not knowing her genetic background basically means you are playing russian roulette with her pups.
Please don't think it can't happen as we see these things here on YT all of the time.

No thats harsh. Its not that serious

If i uploaded a picture of her i think you guys would understand why i want ger to be a mother. she looks like she was born to give birth, the vet feels the same way she said it repeatedly. I understand there is risk involved but i know she will be ok. Every dog needs love big or small, and thats what i give her i appreciate the concern thank you for your help

well, survey says??

the vet feels the same way she said it repeatedly

Find a new vet quick

How is anything I said in that post HARSH?:eek: Seriously! I shared what I found out about my pet store baby so maybe you could have your baby's lineage traced. If you got her from a pet store, then she IS from a puppymill, no matter what the store says. Some of them say they get them from local breeders, but no reputable breeder would sell to a pet store. They place their puppies individually, after careful screening and consideration.

You may find the following harsh, but I don't mean it to be, AND it's the truth. I've seen and learned so much from all the experienced Yorkie owners and breeders since joining in 2006.

There's no telling what congenital problems she might pass on to any offspring, anything from heart problems to legg-perthes disease (they have to surgically remove the hip bone for that one!) Quite a few of these conditions don't even show themselves for a few years, so just because your baby is the picture of health now, does not mean it will always be so (and I sincerely hope that she remains perfect)

The members here care about your girl and the breed itself. We all hate the tragic stories of unexperienced folks losing their bitch and the puppies (or having to hand raise surviving pups because Mommy didn't make it, forget sleep!). There have been a few times when a very experienced breeder has had bad things happen with a whelp, and having some knowledge and experience helped them keep things from getting worse. These same issues arising mid-whelp, with an inexperienced breeder, could end very badly:( Toy breeds seem to need intervention regularly with the whelp, as they are small and so domesticated that they don't all have the natural instinct. Puppies also can grow too large and need to be birthed surgically.

Hey, I thought I wanted to show and breed at one time, too, until I joined here and got an eyeful of all the testing, money, time, work, and sometimes tragedy that comes along with breeding. Not to mention the work and costs involved in the show ring! I changed my mind REAL quick:laugh: I don't have the stomach or the resources for it, so I leave it to those who dedicate their lives to this wonderful breed:love:

Your little girl is absolutely precious:D Please look deep into those little eyes and really think about this, okay? If after you read the whole breeding section, you still want to breed, and do it properly, then you'll know where to begin.

Good luck:)

Well, I just now noticed that you are no longer a member. That's really too bad, there is much to learn here and everyone here cares! I hope that you'll come back when you've had a chance to think about all the advice you've gotten here and realize that everyone has the best intentions.

:thumbup: Well said.... It's nice to see that there are members who can get their point across without being nasty. I commend you for kepping it real and classy at the same time.

Aw thanks:o This member is "no longer a member" though so probably won't even read it:laugh:

Excellent post!
 

But other people will read it;)
Wonder if the op was a fake?

Honestly, I hope so, because if not, that little girl could be in trouble:(

Here's the thing, you may want your dog to have babies, but it really shouldn't happen. I've read the posts and I don't think that it's being done for the right reasons. There are so many 'non-traditional looking' Yorkies in shelters and being dumped that having more just isn't what it's cracked up to be. Plus, just because you think your baby is up to par, will you be able to get the pups registered? For this particular reason, there are not very many Yorkie breeders. You'll be able to find Yorkies everywhere, but do they come from reputable breeders? Probably not. You wouldn't want to be considered one of these people-- they are hated by most because they advertise these 'teacup' puppies, give false statements, and the pups don't come out like promised.

You shouldn't rely on just regular Yorkie owners to help you make this decision. This should really be a very researched topic and you should talk to other local, reputable breeders. I think it is totally selfish to take on this endeavor without the proper research.

This is true about the non-traditional Yorkies that end up in shelters very sad!!

Hi and welcome to YT. I think Kristin is speaking very wise and kind words to you and i do think she has a point. I have no problem with breeding and i guess i could undertsand why a person might want to, but there are so many unwanted dogs out there (i am an owner of a rescue dog), and ontop of that, breeding is no child's play (from what i have read on here).

whatever you decide i hope you do it with integrity and gain as much knowledge as you can from wonderful people like Kristin and many other here on YT

good luck :)
