There are many things that can and do go wrong with breeding so it is important that you carefully consider what can happen before your choosing to start Yorkshire Terrier breeding for yourself. The first thing you need to do is consider your own Yorkshire Terrier. Do they meet breed standards, do you know what specific faults they may have and how they are transmitted through genes?
In order to reduce the infections transferred during breeding it is necessary to make sure both the male and female have bacteria cultures and brucellosis tests done. You should have a veterinarian thoroughly check the dogs before breeding to make sure they don't have conditions that can be passed on to the litter such as luxating patella's, cardiomyopathy or hypothyroidism.
You want to educate yourself about all possible hereditary faults that can result in the line you are breeding even if both the male and female are healthy and good choices for breeding. Know what you can do to reduce hereditary conditions and carefully research the family lineage on both sides.
Next is it important that you carefully consider everything that can go wrong during the gestation period. There is always the chance that the mother dog can die before, during and after whelping. Some of the most common complications include uterine inertia, prolapsed uterus, eclampsia, metritis or mastitis. Also consider whether or not you have the time and ability to take on Yorkshire Terrier breeding.
Make sure you have the time and ability in advance to take on Yorkshire Terrier breeding. As whelping draws near the female Yorkie should never be left alone and often assistance is necessary during whelping. You may need to stay home for several days before and after the whelping. The cost of breeding should also be taken into account. Make sure you have enough money saved up just in case a C-section is required, as it may be necessary for smaller breeds such as Yorkshire Terriers. Make sure you thoroughly know what the signs of trouble are and what steps you can do in order to resolve the problem.
For several days before and after the whelping it may be necessary for you to stay home. You also need to take into account the cost of breeding. For small breeds such as Yorkshire Terriers, C-sections may need to be done and you should make sure you have enough money saved up for this just in case. You should also make sure you have researched all the signs of trouble that can occur during breeding and what steps you can take in order to resolve the problem.
There is always the risk of birth defects and some can be serious enough that the puppy has to be put down. Can you do this if necessary? Even if you can then you still have to be prepared for the complications it can cause the mother.
When a puppy is born there is always the chance that a birth defect may be present and if it is serious enough the puppy may have to be put down. If necessary would you be able to do this? While you may be able to do this you should also be prepared for the complications it will cause the mother. Can you take several days off work on short notice in case your are required to raise the litter for a while should something happen to the mother? If necessary would you be comfortable with tube feeding or bottle-feeding? Again you need to carefully consider all the costs involved. Just a few of the things you may have to pay for include vaccinations, looking for a home for the puppies, paying vet bills and raising the puppies for several years or their entire life if you are unable to find a home for them. - 20511
