Here you go.....don't get offended, I'm going to use breeder terms.
1. Week one - vulva begins to get pink and swell. - 7 days. Breeders call this; coming in. Boys usually can tell a girl is coming in....about 2 to 3 weeks before the girl ever does.
2. Week two - Begins to show color (bleed). Yorkies being clean will keep that area clean and do not bleed profusely. So in order to make sure, after she pees, blot her with a tissue. - 7 days
3. Week 3 - This is what breeders call going out (meaning going out of their Heat Cycle ) bleeding begins to turn pink and light and subsides......this is the time a female is susptable to the male and when one must be vigilant. Most girls are fertile during day 10 - 12 from the onset of bleeding. 7 days.
However, to prevent any unwanted breedings....it is best to keep your female away and seperated from any males for about 4 weeks.
