Sable in yorkies does not exist. The gold born are from crosses. I groom one and it is actually a yorkie/pom cross.
I hope you consider the advice to have both your dogs spayed/neutered. It is a huge responsibility and management to keep them safe and to keep the female from getting bred with an unwanted male. Here's the news flash, females in season when the time is right are going to be way worse than males to try to get bred before they come out of season. You were lucky she stayed in the front yard. I would suspect she got out as a intact male may have been around.
Both male and female left intact, can get out of a house/yard and wander for miles looking to procreate. And get killed by cars, other animals in the process.
I have doors all over the inside of my house to double secure them getting out to the front door. My back yard is double fenced. I put considerable expense in securing my house and am still extra extra careful no one gets out. |
Thank you for the education yet again Lorraine....I'm no breeder, novice yorkie owner, even I thought something was off....please don't take offence OP, none intended. I just had never heard of a sable/gold yorkie. Thank you for clarifying, I learn something new from this site everyday.
Thankfully there were no problems with the whelp...please keep us posted on the progress of the pups...they are adorable!
