| Need To Know If Too Soon????? Hello everyone! I have a question: my friend's yorkie gave birth to four puppies on Jan 8, 2009. She wanted to know how soon can she get pregnant again OR how long should she wait before she allows her dog to become pregnant again? Here's the scenario: Her male dog got her female dog pregnant (thus, giving birth to four puppies on 1/8/09). Shortly thereafter, her male dog got out and ran away (dead-beat dad...LOL). Ok, here' the thing--- the male dog came back home two days ago,after six months of being gone, and she thinks that he wants "a piece of her" again. Please, someone let me know what she should do......THANKS!!!!! |

| The female can get pregnant next time she goes into heat...not yet. Some breeders let their dogs breed twice a year but most consider it too much...

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Once a male has been used as a stud...that becomes his sole interest. It's also likely the reason he "disappeared". Males will go to great lengths to get to a dog in heat. Her female won't be interested..she's not in heat.

| You know what, you are right about her female not being interested. She told me that she doesn't want to be around him. So, at what point will she be in heat. My friend says that she's on her cycle. |

| Is she considering letting her female have more litters of puppies?

| it seems to me if the dad ran away and has been gone for 6 months, no telling where he has been or been doing. I would think he would need to be tested for diseases and such before another breeding were to take place. Please tell your friend spaying and neutering her pets would be the greatest kindness she could do for them.

| I breed Pomeranians. I only let my females have a litter once every 2 years. I put diapers on my females. This keeps them honest!

| I was told that females shouldn't be bred every cycle. You should wait until every 2nd heat, or even longer.
