It takes approximately 63 days from the time of conception, not from the time of the breeding. Most yorkies have their pups anywhere from day 59 to day 65 from the first tie but some can have them sooner and some can go longer, depending on when they conceived.
Tails are usually docked on day 4 or 5, depending on the size of the pups. Before I started docking the tails myself, I would always take the momma with me when I took the pups to the vet for tail docking.
As for registering the pups, is your momma and sire registered? If they are both registered with AKC I know you can register them online, if they are with a different registry then you need to contact that registry, it should be on their papers.
When is you female due? I hope you are doing lots of research on whelping and caring for the momma and babies. There are many things that can go wrong so for the safely and welfare of the momma you really need to be prepared. |
