| When to seperate....... Hi everyone, I am new to yorkietalk and just wanted to say hi and ask a question that I hope you can help us with. We got our first morkie boy 3 weeks ago. His name is Snickers and he's 11 wks old. He is the cutest, sweetest lil guy! Then I got to thinking. Ok here I am with 4 boys, my husband, and now a boy puppy. I want a little girl, I NEED a little girl!!!! (LOL) So we went out today and got our lil morkie girl. Her name is Kit-Kat and she's 9 wks old. Ladies I get to buy pink things now I am sooo happy!! Now on to my question..... when should we seperate them? We had planned on getting snickers snipped at 5 months, but in the mean time should they have seperate rooms or is it ok to keep them together for a little while. I really want them to bond and get close but not that close Thanks in advance for the help and I hope to post pictures of our cuties soon. ~Christy |

| Hi Christy, Welcome and Congrats on both of your new bundles of joy!! I think it is great that you got them together!! I got 2 chihuahuas a few months apart, a boy and a girl, and they grew up together. I got the boy fixed at about 1 year old and the girl wasn't until 3 1/2 yrs. old. (She was so tiny and I was nervous!) Most small pups have their first heat around 6 months old, although some can have it later. You will start to see her privates swell and she will start licking them more. I used sanitary panties on her for the whole 2-3 week period. They are in fabric and you stick a piece of a human sanitary pad in there. You have to change these pads regularly during the day and make sure to clean her privates and bottom with a huggie or wet wipe so she doesn't get a rash. During that heat cycle I also as an added precaution made my male wear a belly band with a pad in it also. He was really good with her and she would growl and nip at him if he came near her! Welcome again to you and Snickers and Kit Kat, cute names!! Can't wait to see pictures!!

| If you get him neutered at 5 months you wont have to separate them. Your female will have her first heat at 7 months or later

| Well howdy neighbor! We live in Brookfield which is just a hop and a skip from you! Just so I understand and I know this will sound stupid. Kit Kat can't get preggers until she has her first heat right?? Thank You all for the advice and welcome!!! |
