I did put my female in the crate, separated from my boys. For some reason, I have no idea how she got out! No! I am not trying to mate her yet! I had them since puppies and never tried to mate! I did not allow it to happen! It was an accident! Well, maybe I don't have the money to buy hundreds of gates, just to keep them separated. I have her in the crate and a gate but she got out from her crate and jumped the gate!

Thank you, yes I got them since they were pups,. They are all registered by AKC.

i came here to ask for guidance and help., I never thought people here can be so cruel and very judgemental. i love the bred to, and would not do anything to disgrace it. I paid alot of money towards them 3, more than what I spend for myself. People who criticizes me, look around you... are you who says who you are?

usually 18months to 2 years of age is a good time to breed for the first time (second or third heat depending on dog).

Yes, you can register the litter if they are AKC by doing DNA on mother, both sires and all the puppies. Expensive to do all and I think they have a large fee they charge in addition to the fee for each puppy. I have heard of this before and you can call AKC for details.
Even now that you are not sure if a breeding took place, in order to register through AKC you will need to do this entire DNA workup.

I know you love your babies.:aimeeyork
Hopefully it was to early in her cycle and they didnt breed.
But if they did we're here for you.
Just be open to listening to them and,
You'll find great info and people here.:thumbup: :thumbup:

If she just came in to heat 5 days ago, she wouldn't be ready for the male yet..here's a wonderful website that my old vet has up..

Ok you can call me mean and rude. You have had your dogs for years, and said you had them health tested and intended to breed this whole time, and now you come on asking the simple basic questions about if your males could get her pregnant? I mean come on now....... :thumbdown What did you do the other times she came into heat? If you don't have the $$ to buy pens, crates or whatever to do breeding properly ,and keep them seperate, and know when they were bred and to which male bred them. Then don't breed ! The next question will be how long till she has her pups, and how do I know if she is pregnant and how do I care for the pups?? All of these questions need to be researched way ahead of time ! Honestly , if you don't know what day your female came into heat , or what day of her heat she is fertile , or if both males could breed her, then you are FAR FROM READY TO BREED YORKIES!! It's ok to ask questions, but the basics should be known way before you intend to breed !! Again, call me mean, but you have owned your dogs for enough time and planned on breeding them for this whole time that you should have done your research. There are so many books, internet sites, your vet that did the health testing, to ask these questions ahead of time so you would be ready when the time comes.

advice doesn't need to be nice IMO it needs to be honest, that's the whole point of asking right? :wink:
I also agree that all these questions should have been done BEFORE breeding, and if you don't have money for crates how will you afford her pregnancy, a possible c/section, vaccination puppies, etc, etc, etc..? :confused: Nobody is doubting your love for your babies or judging you, but you must admit its an irresponsible thing to breed without the proper knowledge and you cant expect approval when doing so

:thumbup: Intead of focusing on if the advise was nice or not (and remember you can't read tone over the internet)...why not focus on the good advise given?

Thats what I was wondering about too! Why havent you already done the research in the 4 years you have had them??

Don't worry about it. Dog people always argue. Welcome and join the club :) Now if your post was ignored, that would be something to be upset about. So get a thick skin and stick around.

Thanks for clarifying. :) Guess that since I've been a responsible breeder, I've not had to "cross this bridge". It was something that I had heard and I know that when registering a litter on line, one question that is asked is something to the effect of "can the breeder guarantee that no other males bred with the female".

Either way, seems that there is a hefty fee to pay and one that I hope I NEVER have to pay.

:confused: :( take it easy :ghug:

i've been watching this thread and i think its getting a little ridiculous. The OP has posted that she has had these dogs for a few years and they were never bred. So obviously she knows how to separate them otherwise they would have bred a long time ago. The OP also said that they were all tested for everything that was asked. This forum has become very cynical. Every knew person that comes on here with a story like this is immediately thought to be irresponsible and uneducated. Why can't you take what she says as truth? This thread shouldn't have turned out the way it did. She came on here looking for advise and an answer to her question, NOT to be called names and disrespected. I think a lot of people need to take a step back and look at themselves. No body is perfect. Mistakes and accidents happen. that doesn't make someone a bad person or an irresponsible breeder. These matings weren't suppose to happen. I believe she said she was still researching and learning so she's not going to know every answer there is to every incident that may arise. She came here looking for help and look where it got her. Why should she come back and ask for more help? just so she can be put down again? Its a shame what happens to new people who are looking to bred or who want to get a "teacup" yorkie. Maybe these people just don't know everything about the breed. THAT is what this forum is for. We are here to talk about our yorkies and help each other out. I recall accidental breedings happening to other members that were here for a few years and nobody said anything bad about them. But if a person comes on here and there first post has something to do with breeding everyone jumps all over them. I'm getting sick of it and usually don't reply to those threads anymore. YT was not like this before and its taking a sad new direction.....

You know, sometimes you just CANNOT stop them. My Mum bred Maltese dogs. She had all the precautions set up, numerous gates etc, a foolproof for seperating the Dog and Bitch. But, somehow, they both escaped and met in the middle. Mum has NO idea how they did it, it just happened. In the end, she named one of the pup's Mister Moon because it happened by the light of the moon.

Dogs can open doors, my Suzy can for sure. It takes her 30 seconds to figure out how to open screen doors, push over barricades... she sees a problem and gets around it.

Mistakes happen, dogs get out. Sometimes all the "common sense" in the world won't stop two dogs who want to do what nature says they should be doing.

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: It seems to be the same few (with some others now and then) it is like they are a pack and all gang up together.

You are correct, I have been breeding for 12 years and I have had two accidental breeding and believe me I was so mad at myself for not being more careful. These little guys and girls have minds of their own and they can be very sneaky just when you least expect it. They are little houdinis. Both of those accidental breedings resulted in singleton puppies and one of the breedings ended up being the only c-section I have ever had. The other accidental breeding was really stupid on my part because I thought the female was out of heat. She had been in heat 19 days, was not flagging, I let my male out of the bedroom because he was crying and he wanted to go on the front porch with the other dogs. I watch both male and female and they showed no interest in each other. Well, about 30 minutes later I looked down and they were tied. I nearly died. So stupid on my part. I don't need anyone to beat me up about it because I beat myself up. Both times I prayed that they would not be pregnant but the lord had other ideas. I am just telling this so many others will realize that you have to be so careful and even then accidents happens.

My question is, can anything happen between them 3? Did any breeding took place?

Ok, this will happily be my last post when it comes to these type of questions. I am far from perfect and have had accidents happen to me as well. But dog gone it, as a future breeder, and owning your dogs for years, you should at least know that if your female is in heat, and she gets in with your male ,breeding could happen. I am really not a mean person and have always tried to help anyone if I can. This post just hit a nerve, as I am concerned about all the breeding of Yorkies ( and other breeds) that seems to be taking place without prior knowledge of the very basics, or having the $$ to , again due the basic things that a breeder needs to breed a dog, raise the pups, and keep the moms safe. Again, I'm sorry I was offensive and will not be posting to these type of questions in the future.
