[QUOTE=Willow]My name is Alycia and I am the proud mommy to Autumn. She is a 5 1/2 pound yorkie.
I am a pretty straight forward and honest person, so I will say I was a little nervous about joining at first. LOL I have had a bad experience with over the top gone to far rescue groups who are adamantly against breeding of any kind. I am not against rescue groups. I am against them badgering responsible breeders instead of sticking with actual neglect or abuse cases. I browsed the posts here and found that there was support for responsible breeders and I was quite impressed with how this community seems to be.
My Autumn is expecting her second litter in about 5 to 7 days. After this litter we plan to have her spayed as I think two litters is plenty for my baby. Now, I must confess, they are not pure bred yorkies, and I realize many people frown on that. Our problem when looking for a stud was there weren't any male yorkies comparable to her. My Father in law has a maltese the same size as our Autumn so we are having York-Tese. They turn out quite cute. We kept a girl from her first litter and we named her Gizmo.
Tomorrow Autumn is going to the Dogtor for her check up before her puppies arrive.
I do have one question and that is has anyone had a yorkie deliver early? I just wondered if it was possible. Autumn went two days late with her first litter. She had three and we lost one. This time we think she is having atleast 5. We will see what the dogtor says tomorrow.
63 days gestation is on August 25.[/QUOTE
Good Morning!! and
!! you are going to love it here! Lots of good people with tons of info!! My Lillie came from a litter of 5 ( just got her Saturday!!) Mom is 4 1/2 lbs and Dad is 3 lbs. Mom delivered a week early
Only 2 puppies survived. The vet told the breeder that 5 puppies is a very large litter for a 4 1/2 lb dog and this could have been the reason she went early..Thankfully the 2 puppies that survived appear to be very healthy...I take Lillie to the Vet tonight for her puppy check...
and Good Luck on your up and coming furbabies..,...Gramma
