Yorkie Yakker | I have an 11 week old female silky terrier My question is when do females usually go into their first heat cycle? And how old do they have to be before you can breed them? And can i breed the father with the daughter as long as i know the pedigree? |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Generally 6 months to a year before they go into heat...and at least on their second heat before breeding. And to your last question....it's not advisable.

| Quote from Silkygirl21: "i took both of my dogs to the vet and ive made a final decision im not breeding either one of them anymore. rockos first litter was a mistake he got out and got a neighboors dog so that first one wasn't plan but the second one was. I have mae rocko an appointment to get fixed next week. then naula will get spayed when she is 5 months" I didnt think you were going to breed them because of the fathers health issues?

| Why on earth would you want to breed a father and a daughter? Please do me a favor and dont breed at all unless you are prepared for the worse. YOU WONT MAKE ANY MONEY and you may lose your female. Sometimes the pups are too large or sometimes she will need a c-section and that cost 3000 dollars. Are you prepared to spend this. What if someone bad buys your pups and they end up a breeder dog and some end up at the pound because people think they are getting a PERFECT PUP that does not go in the house and cant handle house training. Believe me, we see it everyday on here. ..Enjoy Your dog and dont put her thru this.. |

My furkids Donating Member | Be nice ladies! To the OP...we have several good breeders here with alot of good info. Maybe one of them will answer this. We had someone here (not that long ago) asking about breeding father and daughter. I BELIEVE they said it isn't advisable. However I have read where "inbreeding" is used when breeding for show. A LOT of testing would have to be done on both male and female before this could be done. Sounds to me like you are a novice. IMO...I would leave this up to the experts. You wouldn't want puppies with health issues or deformities.

| You really can't tell if LP may be a problem in an 11 week old puppy. My advise would be to have her spayed around 6 months old and enjoy her as a pet.

She's too young to have been graded for LP.
