| Should I be concerned? Ruffy, my soon to be 2 yo male yorkie, has taken to smelling Abby's lady parts. Abby is 8 months old and has not yet come into season. |

| Abby is 7lbs, but has not gone into season yet. And no Ruffy has not been neutered as we are wanting to breed.Not for gain! |

| Mine came into season at about 8 months. She's too young to breed, I'd keep them apart! Bumping for others to post better advise!

| In the nicest kindest way I am stating that the fact that you are even asking such a question is scary to me, extremely scary. There are many factors involved with breeding and the first one to be considered is why? So why are you breeding? What have you done thus far that avails you to thinking you can and should breed? Obviously, you don't have a mentor or you wouldn't be asking such a question. Not for gain? ....why are you breeding? Yes you should be concerned; infact, you should be more than concerned for the health and welfare of your female who is far too young to breed and your male who needs an educated owner before he does the deed to prevent permanent damage that can occur with inexperienced males.... There is a breeder section here, where you should really take some time and read and ask questions please don't begin breeding until you are fully educated on the entire process. Welcome to YT I truly hope you stick around, there is so much to learn here! Take care!

Separate them now. Otherwise mating can happen in a flash. This means separate rooms and or separate crates. Make sure you know the signs of heat in a female, how long it lasts, etc. Your vet can easily inform you of them.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | I see that you are from South Africa. I know that different countries have different belief/values and attitudes about breeding. Here in North America it is very common to sell puppies on spay and neuter contracts; the future owner of the dog, has no permission to breed the dog. I'd like you to seriously consider that if you breed her, you are literally putting her life at risk; because you are! Is your desire to have puppies worth her life? If you want to go ahead with this idea, I implore you to learn learn learn all you can, and try to find a mentor. A person that will help educate you. You should also try to assist in some births to become familiar with the process, and try to learn all the signs of distress of labour. This is not available on line. Videos are a fine tool, but nothing takes the place of real life experience. I also really hope that you do the breed specific tests for Yorkies to try to insure you are breeding healthy animals. There are many threads here where they are elaborated upon. I assume you know how to search for threads on this forum, if not let me know and I will try to link up a few threads on this thread.

But my male YT could foretell my females' heat about one month ahead of time. My male BRT only got interested about one week before her heat started. And very interested and focussed butt sniffing was one sign. Another is protective action out on walks, determined urination over her urine, more guardy and barkey behaviour at the door. Every male is different though. If you have two studs in the house, be very cautious now; but perhaps you know that. You might have to separate the studs; at the minimum you need to be on high alert.

| About how quickly it can happen, I was about 5 yo when I let the "girlie doggie" out because she was lonely in the room and was missing her friend. Needless to say............. I was not popular, my dad had just passed away and in hindsight I can understand why my mom was upset with me as 60 odd days later we had 3 tiny tiny little pups |

| I would never ever want to be a breeder, and I am concerned. Firstly because I know Abby is going to go on heat sooner or later and somehow I am going to have to split these to up, and that is going to be a logistical nightmare. Secondly I am wondering why it has taken so long for her to go on heat, and then I saw that there are some female pups that only go on heat when they are a year old. Now I wonder how normal is that? Crazy woman me, maybe I should just curl up with her and go to sleep. |
