i am about to breed my yorkies. what is a popular outlet on the internet to advertise them?

Question

i am thinking craigslist, and also i might build a website. is there like an autotrader.com for dogs, if you know what i mean?

all this negativity is unfounded. first of all, i am breeding with someone who has about a dozen litters of experience in yorkies. second of all, we are breeding a bigger female with a smaller male. third of all, the breeders i am working with are offering to breed their male with my female for free if i advertise some yorkies they already have along with mine, since i know more about how to sell stuff on the internet and they are an older couple with little internet experience. so please save the negativity and give me a ******* answer.

i didn't make this clear: this older couple i am breeding with are very nice people and have offered to help me in any way they can. i wasn't born with the knowledge of dog breeding, but we all learn somewhere, and not everyone on here is a ******* idiot like you all think they are, and all this negativity really gives me doubts about yahoo answers.

Answer 1

Do you care about the homes these puppies are going to? Or are you just looking for $$?

I would never sell a puppy to someone I couldn't meet in person, whose home I couldn't check out.

Do you know how many people lie?

Personally, I think you shouldn't breed.

Answer 2

Have you ever bred Yorkies before? If not, you really need think long and hard about this first. Giving birth is very difficult for small breed dogs, and the mother can die in some situations. More often than not, you will have to have the puppies delivered by Caesarian section by a vet. Yorkies are so small that they just can't deliver their pups very well and if they do try to deliver naturally you may have several if not all pups die. When you breed a dog, it should be to better the breed, not just to make money. If your goal is to make some easy money, consider the costs involved first: the vet visits for the pregnant mother, the cost of the C-section birth, first shots and check ups for the pups as well as the cost to dock their tails. Then you must be very careful about the people that wish to purchase a pup from you, you don't want to just hand a delicate little life over to the first person that hands you cash.
If you are still thinking of breeding them, I wouldn't recommend going online to sell the pups. There are breeders that have websites but they are full time breeders and usually sell for show quality dogs. You would do better to advertise locally. If you advertise online, are you prepared to ship a dog via airlines? It's INCREDIBLY stressful to a puppy to be flown in a crate, especially a small breed dog. I really really wish you'd rethink the entire breeding idea. The world has enough dogs that don't have homes already. I have a female Yorkie and had considered breeding her also, until I researched it and saw the high death rate. I love her too much for to put her through that for $$, I had her spayed and she's the sweetest, healthiest thing (my other two dogs are pound rescues, by the way). Good luck.

good breeders do not have to advertise on crummy websites, they already have a waiting list set up. Have you had all the tests done on your dogs for hereditary diseases? Where did your dog come from? are they show quality? I'm guessing its a no to all of these questions but these are the things you need to do to breed or all you will be is another pathetic, piece of **** back yard breeder.

I don't see why people are so ignorant that they want to make money off of selling puppies. Especially with small dogs who are from crappy breeders. Those are usually the ones who have the most trouble, especially when they are being bred by a person who doesnt know what they are doing. What happens when the dog needs a c section? Or if the dog cant nurse? What happens if something happens with her or the pups and they have to go to the vet, racking up bills? Do you step up to the responsibility to what you caused or do you toss them out to die like most scummy byb's?

Answer 4

Responsible breeders NEVER advertise their puppies on a web outlet nor do they sell them through pet stores or any kind of wholesalers. It is against the breeders code of ethics.They also don't advertise in newspapers.

Also before breeding your dogs need to be at least 2 years old, have had genetic health tests done (OFA/PennHip, thyroid, etc), had a complete pedigree research done for health, temperament, longevity and breed standard and they need to be shown or evalauted by at least 3 unbiased breed knowledgable people/judges to make sure they meet breed standard.
You also need to be prepared for breeding, pregnancy, whelping emergencies.They are very common in toy breeds. You need to learn the basics of breeding, whelping and newborn care.

Answer 5

I am going to suggest against breeding your dogs. I worked in a no-kill shelter for about 10 months during college, and I saw 4 breeders dump their puppies they could not get rid of at our shelter. Breeding dogs is not a viable money-maker, and the pet over-population problem is just too great. It is not worth it.

Answer 6

I’m a new to breeding dogs still yet. I have two “Flashy Fawn” Boxers. This past November they had their first litter of puppies. Let me begin by saying it’s a lot of work! Or at least it was for me. Make sure you have all the items you need to take proper care of your new puppies. A puppy pin was very helpful for me, this is kind of like the one I used (http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/Prod_Display.cfm?pcatid=544&N=2001+114011). I cleaned my cage completely ever day and throughout the day I would clean their little messes up. Keeping them on a fixed feeding schedule is a good idea too. I fed my puppies every morning, afternoon, and evening at the same time everyday. Also feeding the Mother Puppy food during pregnancy and after helps her and the puppies, I used Purina Puppy Chow. Keeping them on the same brand of food and not changing their diet is important also!

I advertised my puppies in local news papers and on www.nextdaypets.com. From NextDayPets I sold puppies to different individuals who lived up to 12 hours away. I refused to ship any of them, for many reasons, most of all because of the stress that they would have to go through. The way I look at it is if someone is willing to drive that far to pick up a puppy then the best bet is it’s going to be treated like royalty. Which finding a good home for my puppies was the most important thing, not the money!

I hope this was helpful! And good luck!

Answer 7

If you have never breed dogs before don't. Leave it to the experts so many things can go wrong with little dogs and pregnancy If you love your dog donk take the chance

Answer 8

Too many people post negative crap on here that doesn't have anything to do with the question! Okay, I have used www.nextdaypets.com, www.puppyfind.com, also, MySpace is a really good way to advertise, just to go the classifieds section and post under friends, and Pets. Plus its free. Maybe this will help, instead of people assuming we are all backyard breeders who are just in it for the money!
