On June 24th, my Yorkie, Maggie, had puppies. So I made this video. Hope you enjoy. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anO0fyBCyDc](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anO0fyBCyDc) ---

I hope we get to see more of the puppies as they grow up! Great music too. ---

Thanks. Yes. I plan to make more videos. ---

I demand more videos immediately. It’s amazing how non-descript puppies are at that age - any random person would probably guess they were rottie pups. ---

**Munch** , that’s what I keep thinking. As they get more active I’ll film more. **Shantih** , try this. I uploaded it, along with some photos, to my flickr. [Playing Puppies | Yorkshire Terrier puppies | Aithele | Flickr](http://www.flickr.com/photos/7261661@N08/5947562403/) ---

Cute puppies! However, I’d like to ask a few questions: Are the mother and father titled? Did you have the parents health checked before breeding? Yorkies are prone to, among other things, luxating patellas, tracheal collapse and Legg-Perthes disease. Do you have prospective homes lined up for all the doglings? If you did, kudos to you! However, if you just decided “omg puppies cute” and pumped out backyard-bred dogs to add to the already grim animal overpopulation problem you have in the States, I’m going to pass on the squees. (Sorry for the negative tone, but I just talked a third friend in a year out of breeding her Chihuahua/Pug/Bichon frisé because “the miracle of birth”/“I’ll get money” and I’m getting a bit frustrated.) ---

Both parents are registered and come from a breeder who has been responsibly breeding for 20 years. They have regular vet checkups and both are in good health. ---

Oh sure, you have time to post, but you don’t have time to make more puppy videos. I, for one, support more puppy (video) mills. ---

You didn’t actually answer any of those questions. Are they titled and health-checked? Do any of their ancestors suffer from luxating patellas, collapsing tracheas, or portosystemic shunts? Will you offer a health guarantee? Will you take back any dog at any time for any reason? ---

> [@Aithele](#): > > Both parents are registered and come from a breeder who has been responsibly breeding for 20 years. > > They have regular vet checkups and both are in good health. um, you didn’t answer the questions. i hope this was not part of a contract, the responsible breeder said you have to breed your dogs and return a puppy etc. again, no intention to impugn your reputation but there are so many unscrupulous “breeders” out there. otherwise, enjoy your babies!
