While breeding Yorkshire Terriers is a worthy goal, it is not for everybody or every dog.虽然养殖克夏猎犬是一个值得追求的目标，这不是每个人或每狗。 There are many things that should be considered before making the decision to breed your Yorkshire Terrier, the least of which regards whether or not you have the time and space to devote to breeding the energetic Yorkshire Terrier.有很多事情，应该考虑才作出的决定，滋生您的约瑟爹，至少这方面不论您有没有时间和空间用于育种的有力约克夏梗。

Many experts reserve the right to breed dogs to the professional breeder, and they will discourage anyone who has a idea to breed Yorkies from doing so.许多专家有权品种犬的专业饲养，他们将阻止任何人谁有想法滋生Yorkies这样做。 Though this may sound manipulative, there are good reasons why they discourage casual breeding.虽然这个声音操纵的可能，有很好的理由阻止他们为什么休闲滋生。 While I believe that there are many people who should not even consider breeding their Yorkie, I also feel that there are many intelligent people that can incorporate breeding into their lifestyle responsibly.虽然我相信有很多人谁应该甚至不考虑他们的Yorkie育种，我还认为，有许多聪明人，可以纳入育种到他们的生活方式负责任。 To find out which category you fall into, consider the following points.要找出哪一类你落入考虑以下几点。

Pedigreed and registered doesn't equal breeding material Pedigreed和注册并不等于育种材料

Yes, a pedigree and registration are requirements before breeding any purebred dog, but their presence does not mean that you have a Yorkie worthy of breeding.是的，系谱和登记的要求之前，任何纯种繁殖狗，但他们的存在并不意味着你有Yorkie值得滋生。 Let me explain.让我解释一下。 The AKC and other registry organizations certify pedigrees and registrations that guarantee the authenticity of your pet as a purebred Yorkie; they do not certify quality.在AKC和其他组织的登记证明系和登记，保证真实性，你的宠物作为一个纯种Yorkie ;他们不保证质量。 What this means is that an AKC registered Yorkie can have certain traits that are undesirable for breeding such as congenital health defects which are not discernable to the eye and undesirable behavioral traits, which can become more pronounced in the dog's offspring.这意味着，一个AKC注册Yorkie可以有一定的特点是不可取的，育种等先天性缺陷的健康有没有觉察到的眼睛和不良行为特征，它可以变得更加明显在狗的后代。

Even breeders that possess dogs with Yorkie bloodlines of the highest quality do not breed all of their puppies.即使拥有饲养犬血统的Yorkie最高质量不滋生所有的小狗。 In fact, only a very select few ever get used for breeding.事实上，只有极少数以往任何时候都得到用于育种。 The ones that do are carefully evaluated for health quality, behavioral traits and breed standards in an attempt to continually improve the quality of the Yorkie breed.那些做的仔细评估的健康素质，行为特征和品种标准的企图，不断提高质量的Yorkie滋生。 Randomly breeding registered Yorkies does the exact opposite, often resulting in sickly and below-standard puppies.随机滋生注册Yorkies不正好相反，往往导致体弱多病，低于标准的小狗。

Breeding Yorkies is not an income opportunity选育Yorkies不是一个收入的机会

Breeding Yorkies for monetary gain is not a good reason to pursue breeding this exceptional breed.选育Yorkies获取金钱不是一个好理由继续繁殖这一特殊品种。 First, finding a bitch and sire of high enough quality to breed can be an expensive undertaking.首先，找到一个婊子和陛下的质量不够高，繁殖可昂贵的事业。 Caring for your breeders and puppies until they are old enough to be sold can also be very expensive.您的关怀和饲养小狗，直到他们老得足以当销售也可以很昂贵的。

Think about it this way.想想看，这种方式。 The average Yorkshire Terrier litter is from one to four puppies.平均约克夏梗的垃圾是从1至4只小狗。 Now, you may be able to sell these puppies for $1,000 to $1,500, but Yorkies require veterinary attention and breeder care for the first three months of their life.现在，您可以出售这些小狗为1000美元到1500美元，但Yorkies需要兽医的重视和照顾种鸡的头三个月他们的生活。 Add on to this the cost of a possible Cesarean section and the fact that you cannot whelp more than one litter per dam per year, and you may find yourself in the hole rather than coming out ahead.新增的这一费用可能剖宫产和事实，你不能下崽一个以上的垃圾坝每一年，并且您可能会发现自己的漏洞，而不是未来出人头地。

Time and dedication时间和奉献精神

It is estimated that the average breeder spends 120 hours per month caring for their Yorkies and pups.它估计，平均饲养花费120个小时，每月照顾Yorkies和幼崽。 This 120 hours cannot be scheduled around other obligations; other obligations must be scheduled around your puppies.这120个小时不能定约的其他义务;其他义务必须安排你的小狗。 The small size of Yorkie puppies make them extremely susceptible to hypoglycemia and instant death during the first three months of life if they are not cared for properly.小规模的Yorkie小狗使他们非常容易低血糖和即时期间死亡的头3个月的生活如果没有适当的照顾。 So, having a litter of Yorkies pretty much takes a considerable chunk of time and independence from your life.因此，有垃圾的Yorkies非常需要相当大块的时间和独立的生活。

And it doesn't end when they are three months old.它并没有结束时， 3个月。 A good breeder will carefully screen and interview all potential buyers to ensure that their puppies get placed in only the best homes.一个良好的饲养将认真筛选和面试所有潜在的买家，以确保他们获得小狗放在只有最好的家园。 They will also offer support to the puppy's new family to make sure that they are properly prepared to care for the Yorkie, and they will stay available to help out any purchasers in need, even if it means accepting the puppy or full-grown Yorkie back into their home if problems arise.他们还将提供技术支持的小狗的新家庭，确保他们有适当的准备照顾Yorkie ，他们将继续提供帮助的任何需要购买，即使这意味着接受小狗或全部恢复增长Yorkie他们的家庭，如果问题发生。

If you are still not deterred after considering all of these breeding realities, you may just have what it takes to successfully breed Yorkshire Terriers.如果您仍然没有阻止在考虑所有这些育种的现实，您可能只需要采取哪些措施来成功地繁殖约克夏梗。 The next step is to find out all you can about Yorkies and how to breed them.下一步是找出所有你可以约Yorkies ，以及如何培育他们。 The AKC is a great place to start.在AKC是一个伟大的开端。 Good luck!祝您好运！
