I think there is a range in which she can get pregnant, although some breeders do say a certain day is more likely. The problem is unless you’re very experienced and know what to look for, you may not even know you dog is in heat. Some dogs have minimal bleeding and lick themselves clean. Something I learned here the other day, was that a male dog who is neutered will attempt to mount a female in heat even though he can't impregnate her, he can hurt her and he can also hurt himself very badly. Breeders actually help with breeding so that neither dog is hurt. Another important piece of information is that they can get sexually transmitted diseases from each other even if it’s a first time for both. If you want to keep you dogs pups instead of adults, it’s really best to spay and neuter them both. Please don’t think it’s easy to breed Yorkies, the breed has so many diseases and only experienced breeders who do genetic health testing and know their lines thoroughly should breed. |
