do breeders have trade? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

i was wondering if it is common for breeders to trade yorkies for other yorkies or other breeds?

i have a litter 2 females 3 males and im keeping one female and i need a male and thought about offering a trade for another male that wasnt related.

i don't know how common it is. I have recently been offered an English Bulldog and a breeding pair of chis for one of mine. Of course, I said, thanks but no thanks.

i have heard of ppl doing that i haven't done myself.

I've heard of some breeders doing that before. Sometimes you will have breeders that kindof "work together" and share their lines with each other...I know this is common among show breeders in the cat world.

...if I was you I'd post exactly what you are looking for (size, registry, etc) and then post exactly what you have to offer...

i probably should have taken the Chi pair. After all it was a little bow legged Chi that kept beating my girl in her first show in Group. My girl finally got to second place but that daggone Chi was still ahead of it. four shows.

well im not sure if anyone on yt would be willing to trade

mine are CKC right now

right now the weight charts put them at 6lbs but that could change the father was on the heavier side but all the grandparents are much smaller

gidget were 5lbs each
and scrappy were's 7lbs and 3lbs

i gave scrappy to a friend so that i could fine a smaller male..i dont want a male thats 2-3lbs i want one thats around 5lbs

i wouldnt mind trading and possibly paying a little more to start getting AKC..i should have money from the sale and i have nice tax return coming

thanks for the info everyone!

When I first got into breeding, an elderly lady wanted to do a trade (she's been breeding probably close to 50 years). I kindly told her no. After all, I had just met the woman.

Anyway, people do trades. Put up what you have to offer, see what they have to offer and try to work something out. Good luck!
