| you might want to put a diaper on her so she doesn't get any blood on your stuff, but other than that just give her extra love and make sure she stays far away from any males |

BANNED! | My first suggestion is to make sure NO males get anywhere close to her. Second is to get her a diaper so she doesn't get blood all over your home. She may get moody so be prepared for some changes thru her first heat. There are sevetral Yters who make them but pet stores carry disposable ones. |

| Even if you want to breed, it wouldn't be a good idea to do it on the first heat. Your girl isn't mature enough. Please keep them FAR apart. Are you planning on breeding?

| It sucks but they MUST be separated at all times. Especially with this being her first heat, you do not want there to be any chance of her getting pregnant. Your male will cry as long as he can smell her so my best advise is to ask a family member or friend to watch one of them until she is completely done with her heat. The male will be happier that way and much less stressful for you. |

| She will be in heat 3 weeks but from day 9 to day 20 she will be the most receptive. |

| Are you going to do all the genetic testing and search pedigrees for disease?

Are their lines clear of liver shunt, luxating patella (this could be difficult)...? Does the female come from a line of free whelpers? I have read that as many as 20% of Yorkies have c-sections ($500-$2000). Do they meet the standard of the breed (no roachback, correct bite, good weight..)? Testing should be done for liver shunt (bile acid test), luxating patella and hips (xrays taken of both preferrably), cleared of collapsing trachea, ears and eyes checked... There is a good thread in the breeders section called "Health Screening" right now. There is a small chance that you could lose your girl if you breed her. Someone will also have to be with her at the end of her pregnancy and for the first few weeks of the puppies lives. If she can't feed them, someone will have to every two - four hours.... It is so much work, but if you're up for it and doing all the research, then go for it. Happy breeding.
