Breeding Yorkies?

[Shada]

Wow. I feel for you. I would try to get them to neuter him. That would help with the marking issue.. maybe... but then again, maybe not. Sounds as though he has not been properly trained or watched over to protect him against his nasty habits.

With the breeding issue, I agree with you. Absolutly not! Since he is CKC, that tells me right there he came from a poor breeder. That registry means nothing. I am in no means saying that if he was AKC he would be breeding material. Breeding should never be done to just produce puppies. LIke you said, a dog should only be bred that can represent the breed well.

I also think there is a good possibility they can find somebody who feels as they do, someone who owns a female and sees dollar signs.. I see ads all the time in the paper, people who own a female looking for a male to breed her with, people with males wanting to stud them out... always makes me ill to think someone puts so little thought into breeding their dogs. This is one reason we have such a over population of dogs needing homes in our shelters today.

Have they talked to their vet about breeding him? I would suggest to them that they talk to their vet. I can't imagine a good vet telling them it would be a good idea.

Good luck to you!
