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
Experience in the area: 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 i have a 2 year old male about 5 lbs AKC registered yorkie that i am interested in breeding. what information do i need to have for the owner of the bitch and what information should i get from them before breeding. also who makes the decision as in regards to either getting the pick of the litter or breeding fee.
Answer Elia,
The only thing you would have to have from the other breeder would be the AKC papers. If you are charging a stud fee you wouldn't need anything. If you are wanting pick of the litter you would want to see the AKC papers to make sure you were getting a full blooded Yorkie. If you don't plan to sell or breed the puppy you would not need to see the papers unless for some reason you wanted it to be purebred. Pick of the litter or a breeding fee is usually up to the individuals to work out. There is no standard except what the market will bare.
With all of that said I have to tell you that finding someone to breed with will probably not be easy. At 5 pounds your male is too large to breed with most Yorkie females. The desired weight for a stud is 2.5 to 3 pounds. You cannot breed a female to a male that is the same size or larger. Since most breeders breed females that are between 5 and 7 pounds that would make it very difficult for you to find someone who would be willing to breed with your stud.
