I can answer any questions regarding breeding, potty training, grooming and general health questions. I can tell you what to look for when purchasing a Yorkie to ensure you buy the pet you desire.
Experience I have been breeding Yorkshire Terriers for over 20 years. I have had experience with c-sections, how to revive dead puppies, handling birthing complications and what you should and should not do when breeding. Publications: I have written a book entitled "Yorkshire Terriers - A Common Sense Guide To Breeding and Everything Else". The book is available on my website, www.petremembrances.com/Yorkie%20Advise.html as a downloadable PDF

Education/Credentials My experience with breeding Yorkshire Terriers and having them as pets for over 20 years has taught me a lot. The mistakes I have made can be put to good use because I can pass the information on to others and help them not to make the same mistakes.
Question We have a 5 lb female yorkie who will be 4 this fall. She has never been bred. We just purchased a male and female shitzu (different litters)puppies that will be old enough to come home in 1 month. We plan on breeding the shitzu pair when they are old enough. My concern is however is our yorkie female as I have heard yorkies tend to have complications in birthing especially with males larger than them. However I see the shitzu and yorkie mixes quite often. Should we get our female yorkie spayed to be safe? or would she be okay to breed with a shitzu male? We really love our yorkie and would not want anything to happen to her.
Answer Carrie,
That will depend on the size of the male when he is full grown. When breeding small dogs like Yorkies it is never a good idea to breed a female with a male that is larger than she is. So if your shitzu male is going to be larger than five pounds then yes, you should get your female spayed.
