Oh brother! I certainly hope this is a joke. Why on Earth would you leave a female in heat, outside, unsupervised when you KNOW there are intact, free roaming dogs that would have access to her.

Very irresponsible ownership!

VERY CONFUSED....

You posted back in February and were told not to leave your dog ALONE in your yard or CHAINED in your yard, and yet you are continuing to do it

I for the life of me cannot understand. Do you not understand the risks associated? I think this is very irresponsible of you.

I would suggest you take her to be spayed as soon as possible they can spay while in heat and possibly pregnant

I've always heard that if a female is in heat then the male with automatically go to her. I was just wondering if it is a possibility that he did get to her and she could possibly be pregnant. This is her first cycle so I'm ok if she did get pregnant but also scared that she will lose them. Someone please talk to me...

Ok for those of you who keep saying that I need to get her spayed and that it is irresponsible of me not to have her that way already, there is a reason she is not, umm I bought her with the intention of breeding her. Furthermore, the only dogs in my neighborhood are three Yorkies which belong to my neighbor. 2 are males, (1 which I planned to mate with mine anyway, just not the first go around). I do go out with her most of the time but she prefers to be alone sometimes. I have her on a swivel leash that will not choke her and she is in the shade. She doesn't stay out long. (I'm not that stupid!) And she is only about 5 feet from my front door. I keep a check on her, and the Yorkies do come over to play with her from time to time. No I didn't see him come to play with her at that moment, I do have house chores to do. I'm raising 5 kids so I think I can handle a Yorkie. Besides, she is not a stupid dog, she manages just fine. I didn't post on here for criticism I was just wondering. Not to mention, my vet told me she could mate her first go around anyway. I just would have rather waited for the second. Sorry if I offend anyone, but I don't appreciate it when people think I'm incompetent.

What exactly did you expect from us, praise? You knew she was in heat and yet you put her out so that every mutt in town could breed her. Another dog could have killed her in a blink of an eye while you were doing housework. You are just very lucky that hasnt happened to her yet.

Sounds like your hands are too full to handle ONE dog....and your soooooo busy that you cant take her out and watch her-you have no business having puppies at this time in your life. If you already checked with your vet and you already planned on breeding her....what exactly is it you want to talk about??? Im curious why you posted here too?

Your dog cannot decide for herself if she wants to be outside alone or not...Your dog doesnt know what she's doing and cannot protect herself alone outside TIED UP and in heat. Your her owner, not the other way around.

What your doing to your dog is considered animal abuse. Yes-I agree SPAY your dog and do HER a favor instead of yourself.

mojo · 07-28-2010, 08:34 PM

And I imagine you've had all the necessary tests done since you plan to breed her? I imagine you have a mentor and have studied breeding so you know what tests are needed, the akc standard and what to expect? Yah, didn't think so since you left a dog in heat alone in the yard.

I agree. As a potential breeder, you should know that she will call attention to herself when in heat. Males from miles away, not only blocks, or houses away will be able to tell she's in heat and come looking for her. Now that you said you plan to breed her, yet ignore this very basic concept, it tells me you're not ready. Read up, and yes, you are putting your little one in a very, very dangerous situation.

miabellaamoure · 07-28-2010, 08:47 PM

I will chime in with the others that are warning you of the dangers of leaving an unspayed Yorkie unattended on a leash outside alone...don't do it!

You've just seen one perfect example as to why you should never do this. An unplanned litter with a little one this young should not have been allowed to occur. I have to agree with another poster...I shudder to think if a 100 lb male had gotten to her!

If you must let her outdoors and she has issues with running away, you should consider being with her while she is on a harness & leash at all times or if you want her to be able to have some time to run around invest in a X-Pen for the yard & pull up a chair while you keep an eye on her.

Lastly, please get your girl spayed...that's responsible pet ownership!

Raising FIVE kids and you are also considering entering the world of breeding, too...?

That's a lot to have on your plate...hope you reconsider and learn to just enjoy your Yorkie and allow her to be a pet.

One last thing, vets usually know general dog things, nothing breed specific. If you had a mentor, which I seriously doubt you do, they would be the ones to evaluate your little girl to know if she is worthy of breeding.

If cuteness is all your baby and your neighbors yorkies can offer the world, it's not enough. I agree with Miabellaamoure, you have much on your plate. Can you drop everything for a min of 3 months and spend every waking hour helping raise a litter?

lillymae · 07-29-2010, 01:12 AM

HMMMM, What is his name ? The yorkie who was stolen from his front yard while the daughter was out there. Oh yea BENJAMIN ! you don't get it , people drive around looking for opportunities to take little dogs & resell them. Your baby WILL become a victim if you continue to leave her tied out unattended if only for 2 minutes that's all it takes for her to be GONE forever. Also if your vet said it's fine to breed on the first heat he's an IDIOT and you need to find a new vet ASAP. Would you think it were ok for a 12 yr old girl to become PG, I think not, Why ? Because she's still a baby. DUH ! You should be ashamed of yourself for putting her in danger in so many ways.

Too late...seems like she has already become a victim in several different ways.

Deuce · 07-29-2010, 04:13 AM

Well, leaving her tied outside while in heat just shows that you were aiming to get her preggo in the first place. Everyone has common sense (they just don't always use it), so I know you knew that if you left her out, tied up so she couldn't get away from a male that is hormone driven (even if she wanted to) that she'd wind up carrying a litter. Do your neighbors know that you're trying to get your girl preg. with one of their boys? Why do you want to breed her?

LunasMomma · 07-29-2010, 04:47 AM

Wow. I feel very sorry for your poor girl
