Good. Hopefully if she is pregnant it is early enough that they can spay her now.

Thank you for your honesty here. it sounds like you are making the absolute right call in having them both spayed/neutered.

I know Romeo is akc registered but in all honesty, I think you would be making a huge mistake in ever breeding him. That temperament could be the result of just a bad temperament and the fact that he is 11 lbs tells me that he is not a well bred yorkie. Indiscriminate yorkie breeding just terrifies me because of the prevalence of liver shunt in the breed. If you think it is bad in maltese, it is WAY WAY worse in yorkies. And the fact that the breeder is ok with you using him for breeding without being involved in showing also tells me that it may not be the most ethical of yorkie breeders to begin with, so who knows what genetic issues you could be passing down.

Most of all, I would like to say thank you for not getting upset about the advice being given here. That is truly rare! I will be anxiously awaiting the result of your vet visit today!

Thank you and your welcome!! I know how it came across all those Comments about breeding for no reason or greedy money hungry types and people being upset like I didn't understand the whole breeding thing which I do I totally agree with them on everything that was said so I would not get upset about something like that because I feel just as they do!

Cassie, I also thank you for not geting upset about the advice. You will quickly realize that this group is passionate about all fluffs. While we care about each other, it's the fluff babies that we must defend. Good luck at the vet, keeping fingers crossed.
