| New to YorkieTalk Just wanted to say hello to everyone. We have a 18 monthe old female yorkie named Abigail who we are just in love with. We are currently waiting for her to go into heat so we can have her breeded. Can anyone tell me, how many times a year a yorkie would normally go into heat. Not sure if its just once or more. Also are there any other signs except for the normal bleeding and swelling If there are any owners out there from Michigan with an AKC male yorkie, we are going to be looking for a stud. We would be willing to give pick of the litter after successful breeding takes place. |

| I believe you are suppose to wait until their second heat and at least 2 years old. They go into heat about every 6 months. |

I think that soliciting for stud service is against YT rules, I also just wanted to mention that if you don't even know how often the bitch goes into heat you should probably do a LOT of research before breeding her

| probably should discuss it with your vet and a yorkie breeder ... have all the tests and have a plan for her care if anything should go wrong.

| Please look into it more before you decide to breed Abigail. She looks very dainty. Have you checked with your vet that she is big enough and strong enough to have pups? I would hate for you to lose her when she gives birth. You should also definitely wait until she is at least 2 years old. |

| Hi and Welcome to YT!!! You should definitely get bloodwork done to check her Liver values. It's heartbreaking to find out after the fact. And it would be good to know in case she might need a c-section or something.
