There are many ways to breed a female..I go by the female herself and no hard fast rules.
Yorkie clubs code calls for no more then two in a row...but with a female who comes into season once a year, it would not matter..she is never bred more then once per year anyway.
Many breed twice and skip..depends on bitch size, litter size, problems before or after...breeding a female who had 6 or 7 pups twice in a row is very different then a bitch who had one or two. A rest of one season is all that is necessary for a healthy girl. Not always good to wait too long between breedings..better to spay then bred every 2 years or so. I believe in using the uterus or taking it out..no inbetweens..makes me nervous about infection (pyrometra)
I have no problems with doubling up..then a rest.
