Help! My Yorkie Is Pregnant - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Ok, first off I know many of you will say I should NOT have let my pups breed. I had both checked with two local vets and talked with three breeders in my area that said it would be fine. So our story goes like this.

This was Lacie's First heat cycle(age 9 months) in a 3# female, very small be also very mature and healthly. Her mother is also 3# and used for breeding twice a year. Her sire is 3# also. Mother always has 4 pups in each litter avg. about 1.5 oz at birth and adult weight avg. 3#

Gizmo was only 7 months and I wasn't sure he'd be ready yet. He figured it out. He is bigger almost 5#. Both I believe comes from smaller parents. I got him from Pam Hinkle here on YT.

Questions: I saw tie ups from Dec. 14 - Dec. 19th. When should I begin counting days from??? the first? the Last? Between??

At what date should I be doing xrays?? Are they needed?

What other dangers Do I need to know???

I have checked out the heat cycle link and have read as much as possible. But just thought I'd ask you all that have been there for your advice also.
Thanks
Dawn

I get 2/15/08 from the first day of the tie. I would get an x-ray and schedule a c - section. Espescially if there is two or less pups. Good Luck.

Are you serious! 9 months?
I'll just never understand why people keep doing this, breeding and THEN asking questions. I really believe people just don't get the seriousness of this. I'm staying out of this now.
Good luck to you and your "little" girl.

You bred two babies? Why? I can not believe ANY vet would be okay with that. At that age, how do you even know if they meet the standard or have any genetic issues? What you just did was equivalent to letting two 10 year olds (humans) have babies together. Neither one of those babies is even fully developed yet. And to be so tiny...3lbs is too small to breed. And her mother is bred twice a year??? That breeder should be ashamed of herself

You do NOT breed every heat cycle

Did I read that right? You bred a 3 lb. female puppy to a 5 lb. male puppy?

And you ask about any dangers that you should be aware of??????????
