The chihuahua is AKC, the yorkie CKC, so they are both registered.

Bitsi (The female Yorkie) is for breeding, and my little male is going to breed one day. I'm worried about them "getting to each other" if I'm not around. My parents can be naive, and if I wasn't home to see that they were separated they might put them together.

So let's say that they mated and produced a litter of "Chorkies" accidentally.

What would happen? Would there be any chance of defects in the dogs? What are the negatives?

Antidisestablishmentarianism.

I imagine the effects would be similar, if not the same to a pure bred white man breeding with a pure bred black woman.

Just as long as you can look after them/find them a home if it does happen then there's not too much to worry about.

From a distance you look like my friend,

even though we are at war.

Millions of dogs are put to death each year including pups because there are no homes for them and by breeding your dog you will just be adding to this directly.

It shows how inexperienced you are that you think that because a dog is "long" it can carry puppies better, all it indicates is a bad example of the breed. From your post it seems like all you keep your dogs for is breeding maybe you should look into it more and realise that having pups can kill the bitch and mating can alter the dogs temperament for the worst.

Can I just say how totally irresponsible you are. Have your dogs had a full health check including all tests for hereditary problems? If not there are risks that you are breeding unhealthy dogs and if they don't suffer at birth then you are just passing on the problems to other people who will be immensely distressed when their beloved pet collapses or goes blind because of your bad breeding. It is an utter myth that cross breeds are healthier, they still take on all the genes of both parents good and bad.

Calm down.

It's quite clear that she isn't planning to breed them, just simply wanting to know what would happen should they mate.

Firstly, you need to calm down.

I am not being irresponsible with my breeding tactics. Bitsi, my female Yorkie is direct bloodline of two champion show dogs and was a 2,000 dollar addition to our family. She has a ten year health warantee, that has and extension plan. We picked her specifically because we wanted a top of the line breeding dog, which she is. So however you came to the conclusion that I didn't look into that aspect, you are wrong.

As for my chihuahua, he is perfectly healthy. In fact, I just got back from the vet clinic where he got his second set of vaccines. They did a check up and dubbed him a healthy growing puppy.

I'm not planning on putting any of my dogs in a shelter so you don't have to worry about them being put to death. Bitsi's purebred litters will be worth 2,000 a peice, and I highly doubt someone will pay that much for a dog they want to send to the pound.

If they do accidently inbreed, oh well, they will still be good, healthy puppies that I will personally put into good homes.

As for the temperment of my pets, they are like my children and will be completely fine breeding dogs as well. Each is spoiled so badly that it is sickening. You don't have to worry about my judgement when it comes to my children.

You should check into websites about those particular dogs. For that matter that combination may be a designer breed, a lot of which are very popular. which means you may still be able to sell the puppies for a good profit

I dont thing there are any particular health things to watch out for, since both breeds are particularly small. Let me check out the designer dog websites I have seen, and get back to you.

Livewires biggest, friendly group

What I do have a problem with is people who breed these "designer" dogs and then sell them for ridiculous amounts of money. Tufti didn't mean that your pups would end up in shelters, she meant that by selling these puppies who are really just mutts, you're possibly denying a shelter dog a home. Please please please...do what you can to prevent them from mating.
