| When can we breed again? I have a male yorkie and we bred him with a friend of ours female yorkie, she had her pups last Saturday and they are doing great...but we have talked about breeding them again...it worked out so well the first time. My question is I when will the female be ready to breed again...We have heard that they go into heat twice a year...but she has only went into heat once a year for the past 2 years...So...we were trying to figure out about when we would be able to get them together again and breed them. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!

| For the well being of the dog I have heard you should skip the next cycle then wait for the next to bred again. |

| If she has only gone in heat once a year for the last two years chances are thats her pattern and it will remain this way. |

| if your bitch is in good health and has no problems from her last whelping or nursing her litter she can be bred each year... 6 - 7 month is a normal heat cycle....remember its just like a gal that comes in every 6 months she is bred once a year, which is every other heat.

| My vet said that if the bitch is younger and had no problem with pregnancy and birth you could have another litter at the next heat cycle. I'm not sure how I feel about this personally. I struggle with the thought of making my gal into a puppy factory..

| two trains of thought some people belive to breed both heat cycles in one year and take two cycles off i dont quite understand this idea any info on this would be great i do every other heat cycle for two and skip two heats and start again i sometimes think a once a year is too much for some dogs and other dogs popping out puppies dosnt even slow them down lol hope this helps |

YT Addict | when to breed I've heard you should breed every cycle.I skipped Sugar's last cycle and it has been nearly a year since she had pups.I thought she would for sure come back in heat in July or August. I thought maybe i messed her up by skipping a heat. I wish someone would tell me. I heard if you don't breed them every cycle it could be unhealthy, but this is just hear say. any suggestions, I would love to know which is best for the dog. |

| Very unusual to hear of any vet recommending breeding every heat. We usually like to skip a heat between litters, though have done two with a rest after for the really sturdy girls. I would be looking for a new vet. |

| I was talking to my breeder just yesterday about this. She said she went to a vet seminar and the speaker said that if the female is in good health you can breed her in her first heat. On that point I think you have to judge if you think your baby is emotionally mature enough to handle it. He also said it is ok to breed 3 heats and take one off. I have never heard that it is good to breed every heat. Good for what? Lady had one puppy live from her last heat/breeding. I will breed her again this time because I know she is in good health but next time, one pup or 5, I won't breed her. I don't know if I agree with breed once, rest once. But I won't breed and breed and breed. Sylvia |

| I was told that I could breed Bell again in her next heat (she just gave birth in June) She usually goes into heat every 7 months. She is strong, healthy and a big girl (8lbs). She had healthy pups and give birth with no complications.. SOme people feel this is not fair for her, I'm not sure what to think, except that if I breed her this heat, I will not breed the heat after that, No dog no matter how healthy should be breed every season. |
