"As long as the dog that is healthy and strong. I think the dog deserve a chance to breed but of course the owner must take consideration whether he/she could take good care of the dog litter first."

Jojo ran away.

It was JoJo More than 2 months still no news of her. Hope she alright & fine

I currently feeding them California Natural Chicken & Innova adult.

This two brands are suitable for all my Silkies. Doesn't mean it suit your dog as well. If your dog are doing well with the current brand my advice don't change just stick to it.

...........i hope Jojo is fine too...

Breeding pure breed dog is not just know how to take care litters.

Breeding pure breed dogs is also time consuming, expensive, and, occasionally, heartbreaking. If you go forward, your underlying purpose should be to improve the breed not just increase its numbers and you must be prepared to accept full responsibility for the puppies from the moment they are born until the day they die.

Breeding a litter should begin with knowledge & devote lifetimes to learning as much as you can about the breed, about canine health and training, and about MKA rules. How can you become an expert?

Study your breed standard.

Attend dog events. Watch dogs in action and learn the pedigrees of those you like. Ask questions of exhibitors in your breed.

Join a dog club. National parent clubs and local specialty clubs are devoted to specific breeds. If your interest lies in breeding for obedience, agility, or conformation events, consider joining a club specializing in these sports. All clubs educational programs and events designed to help you increase your expertise.

Read, read, read! Your library and bookstore are invaluable sources of information about canine health and breeding.

A good breeder will have a basic understanding of the about your prospective puppies-health, soundness, looks, temperament will be determined by the genes passed on by their parents, and by their parents before them. Therefore, the selection of a mating pair should not be made on the basis of the dog's or b****'s looks (or temperament, or soundness, and so forth) alone, but should be based on an understanding of how the animal's genes contributed to its looks, and of how those genes are passed on and expressed. That is why it is essential to study the pedigrees of your mating pair. The more knowledge you have as you make your selection, the more likely you are to produce a litter with the qualities you desire.

As far as health goes, you must be aware that dogs are subject to many hereditary defects, some of which are potentially crippling or fatal. If you breed, you carry the responsibility of ensuring that the dogs you produce are not affected by the major known hereditary diseases occurring in your breed. Do not take this warning lightly. Consider how devastated you would feel if the beautiful eight-week-old puppy you place in a loving home develops a crippling hip problem at one year of age. Ignorance is no excuse for having contributed to this tragic situation.

Good Luck

Well Im sorry that u think that way.. It scared me when I read it myself. But its the fact that I will have to keep for a long time to come. How can u compare a dog to a human? If u know that u suffer from a weird genetic disorder and it could harm ur future generation if u insist to have offsprings.. will u think of having it or not?
Im sorry to say that dogs do not have the previledge to choose of their owners and their future, if they can they will definitely choose freedom. So we are talking about being responsible dog owners who will try the best to upkeep the breed standards and originality of the dogs, and also to minimize the quantity of unwanted dogs.. Im helping my vet to do some charity and I have a long list of abandoned dogs waiting to be adopted.. anyone? Btw, sorry for being possessed by 'Hitler' awhile there.. Im just trying to share my experience as a dog keeper and a strong message to future dog keepers to a make a promise and dedication to oneself, of the responsibilty of keeping and breeding dogs.

i love terriers alot.
jus now went 2 PJ ss2 chaoyang park, it was kinda raining drizzling out there, i was in da car, pass by 1 house.
saw 1 pity skinny lil terrier standing outside da house, in da compund, all wet. i think its feeling very cold..
its raining y leave a dog out there without shelter?
sad la..

another case in PJ section 14, a golden was chained [ da chain less than 1metre long ] to da gate, no food n water. its like 1pm in da afternoon WTH its hot like hell d ler.. den it was barking at another dog which is in da same compound, sitting nicely under a shade.
cruel.

Well, the ppl who cheat deserves to rot in hell. Pardon me for my rudeness, I just think that this ppl will end up where they belong some day. Its a very alarming and sorry scene, but we cant do much because to many ppl who ignore this kinda situations. The best is to share around our stories so that others would know. Lesson learned, so its time for us to take good care of our furkids. Yeah! Educate me.. feed me with good tips.. I waana be a good Silky owner..


Erm, call it cruel or sad.. some ppl just treat dogs like rubbish.. why coz they are rich enough to support those puppy mills and backyard breeders indirectly.. anybody bliv in karma? If you do.. you will think twice b4 u take any action..

yeap blif in karma..
hope they get it..

Do you that silky terrier breed are a cheeky breed... the will do all sort of things to attract you attention...

one day I bring my another silky called Richie to the Vet cause I think he has flu... Yap... dog do have flu... I heard another silky coughing too, so I ask the Vet and the dog owner what happen... They said he will be forever coughing... Huh Y... cause last time when the puppy was sick and coughing... the owner will feed his pup treat when the pup is coughing... So end up forever coughing dog...
