OK, I hope no one dogs me for this because I was not expecting this yet. I bought a female yorkie that's 2 yrs. old. Everything is fine and we love her very much. We have had her going on 3 weeks now. We had planned on breeding her but not yet. I don't even have a male. OK, I got an e-mail from the guy I got her from saying that "oh yeah, she could be preg, beause her and my male were left alone alot. Altough we never witnessed a tie."

Lucy weighs 8lbs, and his male weighs 5lbs. She really could be preg!!! She is wide in her back, sleeps seems 24/7 and is very moody. Her nipples are real pointy, erect looking. Also, she has gained 1 1/2 lbs in almost 3 weeks.

Question is this, how far along are they before you can hear heartbeats? I have just called my vet to bring her in, but he is a "small-town" vet and doesn't have x-ray machines or any of that stuff. I hope he at least has the preg test. So any helpful advice would be great, and please remember that If she is, I have no idea what the conception date was. Thanks!!
