Dori's Maternity Ward (we hope) - YorkieTalk.com Forums

teffiemoore · 07-02-2006, 08:36 PM

Ok, we are still early in the game, but we do have some definate signs. Dori is our female, she is 19 months old and weighs 6# even. This was her second heat cycle. Her appetite has increased much in the last 7 days. She is so sleepy lately and wants to be held constantly. She is totally annoyed with Yogi,

Her teats have become quite pink at the base and brown at the tips and the glands behind them are fuller and have nickel size soft lumps. Yogi's Prince Powderly is our little man. He is 15 months old and weighs 4# 12oz. He is lately constantly walking over to where she is sleeping and smelling her face and ears and then licks her head and lays down next to her, its too sweet, this is different than before. Here is a few pics:
Yogi in the first two after a haircut and Dori in the last two after we trimmed 4 inches off of her skirt and general trim. We thought it might be easier if her coat was shorter like this for del & nursing......The last pic, she had to get up on the cabinet her last breeding day just to keep that ole boy from messin with her.....Del. date of Aug 22nd give or take a few days!

Cool! Same due date as my Gracie. I'll start a thread for her, too.

Thanks for starting yours!

Here is another of Yogi, those I posted don't make his coat look as pretty as it really is, oh well..... not being boastful or anything

I'm going to drive everyone nuts with pics as a Granny....I can just feel it

EEEEP! so exciting!!!

They are such a cute pair, and I can't WAIT to see the puppies!!!

Do you have any potential owners lined up? I'll refer you, for sure! (except that everyone I talk to is "looking for a TEACUP". SIIIIIIIGH!)

Put the date of your first breeding in! It makes it VERY simple!

Wrenee4 · 07-03-2006, 09:05 AM

This is so exciting to keep up to date on everyone!

I love it!!

teffiemoore · 07-03-2006, 03:48 PM

Yes, Debbie Jensen's website has been my bible and Kimberly! This is exactly where I got her due date.

teffiemoore · 07-03-2006, 03:56 PM

Becky, we have 6 folks that have requested puppies. Dori is going to have to have more than 2 pups for any can be adopted out

You know we have to keep some or 2 or all of them

No, really, Tara, my daughter and I both want to keep one a piece, so if she has 3+ and some of these others fall through I will definately let you know. You know how folks are, they immediately blurt out they want one and then when the time comes.....well you know. Plus we will be very picky, you know resume's, blood types, education ect. just kiddin.

Sugar's Mom · 07-03-2006, 04:13 PM

This is very exciting. I hope July goes by fast.

So, do you want to keep another boy/girl pair, or two girls?

There is someone here in Deport with a boy yorkie they want to mate with Kiki (someday). Which my husband wants to do, but eeeeep, I'd be scared! And of course, it remains to be seen whether she ends up being big enough. She does have a nice wide build for it though.

I will definitely be following your adventures, and taking notes! But ooooh, how do breeders part with ANY of them?! That would be soooo hard!

teffiemoore · 07-06-2006, 07:59 PM

You know one day she looks fuller in the boobie area

and the next she doesn't look like anythings different?????? She is still sleeping alot and wants me or Tara to hold her. The last two days her appetite has slowed down. Her food looks untouched. Not drinking much water either.....Just sleeps. Tara(daughter) said she woke up this a.m. looking for her, cause she's usually right up under one of us as we sleep and she had gotten in her down comforter piled on the other side of the bed, she was sunk way down in the middle, 4 feet straight up in the air and snoring, LOL.

Okay, today there is definately a change in the tummy. There is no doubt now, SHe has a little ball about the diameter of a baseball and sticks out about 1 inch,she is normally very thin with a concave tummy. THis is so exciting to watch!!!
