| If I suspect my Yorkie is PG, can I still... allow her and the male to interact? I believe she got pregnant 3 - 5 weeks ago. I didn't know she was even in Heat until they were stuck together, and it was NOT planned. Then when the dogs found away to get together about a week later, they got "tied" together again. I have been keeping them apart for the past month in fear that they will "tie" again. I thought I had read on here, or on a website that you are not supposed to try and breed past 3 days, because if the female gets pregnant on day one, and then you breed her again 3 days later, that she can get pregnant with another puppy, and there would be a better chance of that puppy not surviving because it will not be in the Mother as long as the puppies that were conceived 3 days earlier. Is that true??? I just called the Vet to see if I could now allow the Male and Female to interact and the nurse said "yes". I questioned as to whether the female could still conceive more puppies, and she said "no, once she is pregnant, she is pregnant." I know based on the time period. She is probably no longer in Heat, but when I thought she was no longer in Heat the last time (a couple of weeks ago) they ended up "tied" together again. Any suggestions or information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Audrey Last edited by myjordash; 08-20-2005 at 06:07 AM. |

I've never heard of getting with another dog or same dog later and getting pregnant with another pup. I always thought like they told you at the vet. Once pregnant that's it. No I wouldn't think that she would still be in heat. A dogs cycle usually last 3 weeks 1 week coming in 1 week in (when they can get pregnant) and one week out. I think this is right. Was she with another yorkie? I hope this helped. Sheila | |

Is that true??? Yes, that is true. Conception can occur throughout the middle of the heat cycle (week two )and pups conceived towards the end will of course have less time in utero than those concieved at the beginning.. I would suggest you count 59 days from the first tie to get the earlier due date and then schedule a vet appt. for x-rays about a week before that date. They will be able to determine size and amount of babies. Very important to know that she will be able to free whelp or if she will need C-section and also good to know when she is done whelping/ all pups accounted for. Start reading up on whelping and complications so you are prepared for the birth day. good luck. |

The only problem is that they were together several times a day BEFORE the 1st time I caught them in the "tie". And my Mom, who own the female, started noticing her nipples getting swollen and her sides getting bigger, BEFORE the first time we caught them. When we caught them in the "tie" it all made sense that she must have been in Heat and that she may have already been pregnant. Then about a week and a half later, the dogs snook out and got together, and before we knew it they were "tied" again. I was very upset at this point because I was afraid that she would now conceive ANOTHER puppy. BUT it was about a week and a half after the 1st tie. Is it possible for her to have gotten pregnant again that long after? Do you think we should use about a week before we caught them in the 1st tie as the expected due date and get X-Rays according to that date? Or should we use the date of the first time we actually saw the "tie"? Do you think she may have conceived a puppy when they were "tied" a week and a half later? Thank you so much and I know it is confusing, but I appreciate any help you can give me. I just want to make sure I am using the right date to schedule the X-Rays for. Audrey | |

| It is posible that she concieved any time that they were tied. I would count 59 days from the first tie and then back up a week to schedule x-rays. That should get you pretty close, since she was still receptive a week and a half later it is unlikely, though not impossible that they would have tied much before the first one you saw. Did that make sense? |

| might be pg you can take her to the vet for a blood test after 23 days from the tie. I do mine every other day for a week to be sure they take .so him getting her after a few days is no problum. A week or so mybe not good . If you really want to know take her for a blood test |

I have never bred yorkie's before but have had several litters of Jack Russell Terrier's. Even had one female who we had bred with our male and a couple days later my son let her out and she got with a stray. So when the pups were born there was 2 full blooded Jack Russell's and two heinz 57's in the same litter. Rhonda | |

| Multiple sires have become less of a "baddy" than it used to be. As a matter of fact, the get can be registered but the sires and puppies MUST have DNA tests to prove parentage. I am pointing this out to say that some females can and do stand for males even when they are already pregnant. I had a female who would beat the tar out of any male if she had already been impregnated and she always vomited the first and second days of her pregnancy. |

| Dogs have a pre-heat that last 7 days, then they have the bleeding, about another seven days,then the third seven days they are most likely to conceive puppies. A puppy conceived on the third day of that wk will be a little less developed when she whelps (delivers her litter). The last puppy to be conceived can easily be as healthy as the others that are a couple of days older. Since gestatation time is 58-63 days, even the last egg to be fertilized has a great chance. The key to any healthy puppy is what the mom dog eats while pg. A good quality food is crucial. Also, the female is not receptive to the male after that third seven day period. She will even bite to prevent him from entering her. A date finder that helps calculate the gestation dates for dogs, cats, rabbits, etc can be gotten free by phoning 800-786-4751. Also by going to www.revivalanimal.com Yorkie babies are the best thing ever! Enjoy! Rizzi |
