| How can you tell? I was just wondering ,if any of you have bred or know someone who bred their yorkie,how did you tell if the yorkie was pregnant? My Aunt's Yorkie went through artificial insemination about a month ago,she says she hasnt grown but her appetite has changed her nipples(is that correct?) have become hard and that she has become more attached.Is that just coincedence or signs of pregnancy? Is there any way to tell for sure if she is pregnant?Thank you in advance. |

| At around five weeks you should be able to softly squeeze her tummy and if she is pregnany you will be able to feel the babies. They will feel like soft golf balls. Or she could go into the vet and they could tell her.

| I wouldnt recommend to palpitate, done wrong can dislodge a baby....its always best to wait it out until 50 days or so take her for x-rays.

| yes, no squeezing, not even softly. Especially since she's wanted this litter so badly (AI) wouldnt want to risk losing one. She does sound like she's pregnant. Her teats wil become firm and pink (almost red) as time goes on. They will be more clingly. Also, they're privates will still remain slightly swollen. Her tummy will show soon enough. The first half of pregnancy goes slow, but once they start showing, they can pack it on. Best of luck to your mom! |

| Well this particular breeder is very good,he has bred champions and I know the female's brother is a champion and she would be too if it were not for the fact that her hair hasnt grown to its full length yet.I dont know the brother but if he is anything like his sister he is a perfect yorkie. She is adorable,smart,and no defects. But hey you never know defects can appear either way that is if the puppies live through the birth anyway.Boy arent I depressing?lol |

| Your posts are not making any sense. First it was your Aunt who bred the female...you got an answer and said you'd pass it along to her...so I'm gathering she is so unexperienced that she has asked you to get her breeding answers from a forum....now you say that this is an experienced, knowledged "good" breeder. Your story is fishy and not adding up at all. Sorry to be harsh, but it's not. |

| I don't get it either! I've never known a reputable breeder to breed littermates. If she wants to know how to tell if the bitch is pregnant why doesn't she ask the so called breeder? Maybe I missed something?
