WE WOULD LIKE TO MATE THEM, SO THAT WE CAN EACH HAVE ANOTHER YORKIE TO LOVE, NOT FOR PROFIT. WE ARE PREPARED FOR C-SECTION IF NEEDED(MONEY PUT ASIDE) MY MALE IS AKC /ACA AND HER FEMALE IS AKC. THE FEMALE IS GOING TO TURN 2 IN JULY MY MALE WAS 2 IN JAN. THE FEMALE HAS HAD 4 HEAT SEASONS. WE ARE WAITING FOR THE 5TH IN THE NEXT 5-6 WEEKS. HOW MANY TIMES SHOULD WE LET THEM MATE FOR SUCCESS? I HAVE READ ABOUT THE 9TH DAY OR SO OF HEAT FOR BEST CHANCES BUT HOW MANY TIMES DO WE TRY? WE DONT WANT TO HAVE TOO MANY PUPPIES FOR THE FEMALE TO HANDLE, BUT WOULD LIKE OUR VENTURE TO BE SUCCESSFUL. THE TWO DOGS PLAY TOGETHER ALL THE TIME AND ARE FRIENDS, SO WE DONT THINK IT WILL BE A PROBLEM. CAN ANYONE MAKE SUGGESTIONS?
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.. JANIS  |
The number of ties have nothing to do with the number of puppies .
A good suggestion would be to read as much as you can on breeding , whelping , care of puppies before breeding them .
