| Worried about my yorkie being pregnant I am so concerned! I have a female yorkie and a male yorkie. My female yorkie will not be 1 years old until 9/20. She is in heat right now (1st cycle). I have been trying to keep my male yorkie who will not be be 1 until 11/24 away from her, but I think I was too late. I did not know she was in heat. If she is pregnant at this young of age, what will happen? I am so worried that something will happen to her since she is still so young. Has anyone ever had this happen at this young of age? Please help! I know everyone has great advice on this site. |

| Most people do not breed on a dog's 1st heat, very dangerous. I would ge tthe puppies aborted if she is indeed preggers. Are you planning to breed your dog? If not I would get both dogs fixed. |

| How big is she? It is not ideal to have puppies with the first heat, but it has happened many times before, so you won't be the first, and certainly won't be the last. There are some dangers if she is really small, but work closely with your vet and she should be fine. Also I would ask this in the breeders section so the experienced breeders can help you rather than just hearing everyone's opinion. Were you planning on beeding this pair later on?

| My female is almost 7 lbs and my male is 4 lbs. I did plan on breeding them 1 time before I got them both fixed, but I definately did not plan on having this happen at this young of age. Thank you for all the advise |

| I just am wondering if you are a breeder? This won't KILL her dog. Her dog is 7 lbs.. she should be fine.. although I would take her to the vet and have the vet check her over really good to make sure her structure is okay to have them.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Hi, I just wanted to welcome you to Yorkietalk, I wish you could have found this site sooner because this is actually a too frequent occurrence. We do have a breeder's section, and this thread will probably be moved ther, where you will receive more experienced advice than what I can give. They will probably want to know the size of the female because this gives them useful information. I do know that even a male that is too young can produce deformed puppies, but I don't know the exact age. Best of luck. Oh, I see you posted the size before I could post.

| These things happen. I too didn't know my female went into heat and she mated with a 6 month old male yorkie that I was watching. I went back and forth about terminating the pregnancy or not. After talking with my Vet and several check-ups, I decided to let her have the puppies. She is due at any moment any day now. She has been very active, happy and healthy throughout. So talk to your vet and get their opinion. You stated she is 7 lbs and the father is 4lbs. It's not an ideal situation, but personally don't think you will have any problems. Best of luck too you and your girl!!!! |

| No, but if it were me and if I had the money to I would rather do that than have a bitch die from birth complications or have an emergency c-section. I was blessed with my oops litter even though it wasn't her first cycle that she had no complications, especially with a breed known for it due to the pups head size in most cases its needed c-section. But I was always afraid to of losing her, during the whole pregnancy and when it came to her actually giving birth. She gave birth to 6 healthy puppies, no problems. But this sometimes is not always the case. If the OP does plan to keep this litter, I can only hope that she is as blessed as me with her bitch and her litter.

| Just my opinion anywho, breeding should be left to the professionals who are there to improve the breed But looks like I'm the minority here on that topic, so you do as what you believe is best for you and your dog. Nancy, really I never heard of that before. My sister's shih tzu was I'll say 8months when he bred with my dog, Princess and none of the pups had any sort of deformations, unless you count really cute bi-color eyes in one pup But of course like with anything, it doesn't happen in all cases. Two pups didn't make it, because they became chilled few days after birth. But thats good to know, never knew that. Thanks for that bit of new information. |

No, you are NOT in the minority, but just because she isn't a professional is no reason to have her girl go thru an abortion. I breed to better the breed, but I don't think everyone who has a pregnant dog who isn't a professional breeder should abort them. I just hate to see her scared into doing something that her vet could help her with and she needs to hear all of the options.. Yes, abortion is one of them... but there are pros and cons to everything.
