| Yorkie's 1st Period - Need Help I'm a new Yorkie owner (actually new Toy breed owner as well) and Darla is now 7 months old and started her period last night. I just bought a little denim-looking pants thing at Petsmart that we are going to use. Any idea on how long the period will last? I'm sure it depends on the dog - they're all different. Also, how frequently should I expect her to have them? I know it depends on her cycle, but I've heard twice a year. Thanks in advance! |

| Yep they last for 3 weeks...........one week coming in, one week breedable, one week going out. So that middle week you gotta be careful around male dogs! I have a dog who has heats every 4 months, the majority have them every 6......and like they said above some 1x yearly. |
