| New to yorkietalk - Expecting puppies Hello, This is my first day posting to YorkieTalk.com. I am just thrilled to have found this website and look forward to hearing from other [COLOR=green! important][COLOR=green! important]Yorkie[/COLOR][/COLOR] lovers! We have three Yorkies (Toto, Gizmo and Penelope). Penelope was abandoned last November and a [COLOR=green! important][COLOR=green! important]friend[/COLOR][/COLOR] of our daughter's found her wandering out on a country road. After placing posters up all over the area and placing ads in newspapers, no one claimed her. So...since we had two yorkies, she thought we might want another one. Toto and Gizmo are both males and to be honest, we did not want another one. Right before Christmas the girl showed up at our door with Penelope (we did name her). Our hearts just went out to her. She seemed so sad and distant. Not perky like our others. To make a long story short, she and Gizmo are expecting puppies on February 28th. I have read several posts and it is so nice to get information from experts that have dealt with the whelping process. We are getting the area ready for the birth of the puppies. Last week she started nesting and appears to be getting ready. My question to you experts: We know she and Gizmo tied up on January 1st, but they possibly could have in December while we were out of town on Christmas break. Not sure how all this works. We've never had a female. Could she be further along than what we are anticipating? Also, we do know she has had at least 2 litters of puppies and my intentions after these are born is to have her spayed. Do you feel this is a good decision on our part? Our vet thinks she was in a puppy mill situation. Thanks for any advice. |

| ~How long have you had her? Do you think she was pregnant before you got her? So many questions......If she tied in Jan, she is not ready, average days pregnant is 63. Maybe you can take her to the Vet and see what they have to say. Good Luck! And yes, it is a good idea to get her spayed, especially if you don't want anymore puppies. to yorkie talk ____________________________________________ Last edited by clm56; 02-05-2009 at 05:59 PM. |

If you breed without adequately preparing yourself for all that it encompasses, and that seems to be your situation here, then it could be very dangerous for your little one. For these reasons alone, spaying her after this litter would probably be in her best interest. | |
