congrats he's adorable. It brings me back. I can't believe my Teddy is already 6 mths old it seems like just yesterday I was holding him in the palm of my hand.
Sounds like a good weight to me with only one baby. Bridgette had three babies and they were 3ozs 3.5ozs and 4ozs
I wasn't going to breed my Bridgette any more but I am a part of a local yorkie meet up and everyone is begging me too because they love Teddy so much! We are going to use the same sire and breed her next time she goes into heat.
I still stand by only breeding every other heat cycle. Their gestation is shorter but they are tiny little dogs and I am sure passing multiple babies is a lot harder on the body than one like with us. I think with their size and the fact that they have multiples makes it about the same that the fact that we go nine months.
I know I have a daughter. And I still have nightmares about the pain of delivery. We want another baby but my body has a hard time with carrying a child. I hemorrhaged with my daughter then we tried again I had a miscarriage and i hemorrhaged. My husband is afraid I wont make it through another birth. I've already had two blood transfusions.
I guess because of what I went through I have a lot of sympathy for my fur babies. And they don't get to make the decision on weather or not they have babies, we make it for them.
Anyway to the OP if you breed her again doesn't mean she will have a female, she might have another male or even multiple males. Do you have a home picked out if the next puppy(s) are males?
My Bridgette had two males first then last breech the female, man she was so beautiful I wish I had kept her. She was the sweetest puppy ever.
Anyway I'm rambling. Congrats on your baby he's adorable I'm glad he's doing so good. |
