Consider her size she probably will have a C-Section. Always consider that, always save up the money for that. Believe me it can happen unexpectedly.
Good Luck in what you do, consider your little one. |
When speaking to my vet, he said she was 5 lbs. and said she would be able to breed. That was 2 months ago when she was 9 months old. She may be heavier than that now. I noticed during and after her first heat, her little nipples and area around it got larger. She used to have a completely flat little tummy. Now she has "bumps" hee hee. I would spare no money on my pups health. Whatever money was needed to keep them in good health would be no problem. I'm not going to do this for a profit, just for the experience. I would like to become a
great breeder one day. I love YT for having so many experienced yorkie lovers on here. I especially respect
YorkieRose (Pat). She is so knowledgable. Thanks for the information. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
