Hello Im New Here - YorkieTalk.com Forums

CandysMom · 05-31-2007, 07:09 AM

I did this terribly long post yesterday telling all kinds of info and it never posted. Im not sure what I did wrong so here I go for a second try.

Im Jenn. Im a wife and mom of 2 human boys and 2 canine girls.

Thomas Daniel 7 1/2ys
Mark Andrew 18 months.
Ruby 12 ys. - pitbull
Candy 1 yr. - yorkiepoo or yoyopoo?(mom was a yorkie dad was a yorkie poo)

Anyway Im here because I have been making some decisions. My 12 yr old Ruby is in bad shape. She is deteriorating in her back end. She actually is on glucosamine and daily prescription pain meds as well as injections I give her at home for the joints. The vet says maybe 1 yr or so left with all of this before the deteriorating is too bad. We will see.

The thing is I have little Candy who is really attached to her. I know I have to get another little sister or brother for her when Ruby goes.

Since my husband recently got in with the electric company as a lineman I know he is going to work a lot of overtime. So here I am the housewife with my little boy going into a pre-school program in another year and a half and my dog dying in a year and a half or less. I am not looking forward to being alone all the time with only Candy.

After a lot of thought I decided I want to spend this next year to two years researching breeding yorkies. I know there is a lot too it so I am here to learn and prepare myself. I decided I will start with a male full reg and start by letting him mature. Im not in a rush and I dont want a house of cages. I want a big room I can put up little areas and make it absolutely fun and comfy for my little ones.

I would like to go to some dog shows. I think its important for me to learn as much as possible. So if anyone has anything to say I am open to hear it.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I hope to make some friends here.

WELCOME to the site and I'm so sorry about your Ruby - That has to be so hard to think about

Good luck with Ruby

Welcome to YT! Good luck w/Rudy

Poor Ruby! Good luck with your baby. Check out the breeding section, I'm sure it'll be a lot of help.

alaskayorkie · 05-31-2007, 11:04 AM

Welcome to YT. Definitely talk to some of the breeders here. It sounds like you're moving cautiously, and that's what I'd advise. It can be a lot of work, and there are financial risks in breeding programs that you'll want to be aware of. If none reply to your message here, check out the Breeder Talk forum.

Another thought: If your main reason for getting another dog is as a companion for you and Candy, how about a rescue?

Glad you could join us. So sorry to hear about Ruby. You'll want to try and find a mentor as well as research. I want to start showing within the next 5 years; I have two children that will be going to school full time next year and hope to find a mentor this next fall by attending dog shows and meeting and talking to people involved in this wonderful breed. Good luck.
