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?

Both the male and female breeding partners need to have bacteria cultures and brucellosis tests done before breeding in order to help reduce the infections transferred during breeding. Before breeding it is also important to have the dogs thoroughly checked out by a veterinarian to make sure they have no conditions that can be transmitted to the litter such as luxating patella's, cardiomyopathy or hypothyroidism.

Even if you have a male and female that are both healthy and good choices for breeding it is important that you educate yourself about possible hereditary faults. Carefully research the family lineage on both sides and make sure you know what you can do to reduce hereditary conditions.

As the whelping time draws near the female Yorkie should never be left alone and most of the time a Yorkie will need assistance when whelping. So before and after the whelping it may be necessary for you to stay home for several days.

The female Yorkie should never be left alone as the whelping time draws near and during whelping Yorkie's will often need assistance. 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.

Raising the Yorkie puppies is the final aspect of Yorkshire Terrier breeding that you should consider. Fading puppies, toxic milk, septicemia, primary atelectasis, herpes virus, cleft palates and hypoglycemia are just a few of the conditions that you need to educate yourself about before raising puppies.

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. In case something happens to the mother and you are required to raise the litter for several days, could you take the time off work on short notice? If bottle-feeding or tube feeding are necessary would you be comfortable with this? As with other parts of breeding you need to consider the costs.

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 are just a few of the costs you may have to pay for.
