Yes and rite from the start as look who she ended up with. Someone who obviously could care less what happens to her . So very Sad

YEs very sad. I doubt very much if the original Poster is still reading this thread. but for the few who just might find their way to this thread.

Breeding a young Yorkie female who may be 8-11 months old on their first heat, is quite decidely PUTTING your FEMALE at risk for HER LIFE.

Breeding without at the minimum the appropriate health checks is a crime against this breed and your future puppy owners. If you don't know what the minimum health checks are, then that is just another indication that you don't know enough to breed Yorkies.

Putting a female who you know is in heat, tied up, in the summer heat, with no where to go, to even "try" to escape a male intent on breeding is Cruelty.

I pray and hope this particular female is not pregnant, and further more can never get pregnant.

I'd have her spayed immediately, for several reasons:

1. She's WAY too young/immature to be having babies
2. Who knows what other male dogs got to her?
3. Obviously, you have not done any research about breeding at ALL, otherwise
you would not be asking such a question!!!!
4. Anyone that would leave a defenseless little female PUPPY, in heat, tied up outside in the hot hot summer heat, has no business breeding anything.
5. You say that you don't want to risk her life, and that she's your BABY? Tying her up outside IS IS IS IS risking her life, no matter if she's in heat, or not. It only takes a fraction of a SECOND for a larger predator to get to her and kill her.

Please take her to the vet and have her spayed

This thread had me so upset for that little girl. Anyone who "loves" their little "baby" that much would never put their loved one at that much risk.

The way I see it, its not different than tying your very young daughter to a tree. Pets rely on their owners to make smart decisions regarding their care and not put them in jeopardy.

Some people cannot see beyond themselves to do the honorable thing.

Very good advice!

This is not the way to begin responsible breeding or ownership! I'm speechless!

Are you kidding me? I took a break from YT to avoid posts like this...UGH! I'm gonna go throw up now.

Ok look whats done is done, yes you shouldnt have left her alone outside especially when she is in heat but you cant change that now.
Yes she may well be pregnant and although you were planning on breeding her when she was older with this male.. you cannot know for sure that it WAS this male who mated with her until its too late.
As others have stated males can smell a bitch in heat from miles around.. what if a much larger dog mates with her? she will not be able to carry those puppies and this could prove fatal for the puppies and your girl.
Take her to the vet and get her x-rayed.. if she IS pregnant I do recommend you spay her because this could well happen again as it sounds as if your a busy lady.
I hope your girl is okay and I hope you take the advice given to you here.. its not snooty advice it is GOOD advice! please if you care for your baby listen to what these experienced owners and breeders are telling you. Good luck.

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.

From this post, you are in no where ready to breed. You're poor girl has possibily been bred by a dog that has not had all the required tests performed. You're vet has told you wrong.....I'd find another vet. The rule of thumb with toy breeds is not before their 2nd heat and/or 18 months of age and sometimes longer, dependent on their physical and mental maturity level

There are tethering laws in this country....yep! against the law.

Incompetent is not the question, knowledge is. You are no where ready to breed this female.

This is just wrong on so many levels. Front yard?? What about a FENCED in back yard?!?! Or Kennel for outside time? Goodness what business do you have breeding if you have 5 kids and so many chores that you cannot take 15 mins out of your day to let your dog out to potty. You obviously don't have enough time to have a litter!!


SELFISH!!!!

[YorkieProud]

I am not here to scold you, but I did want to share two stories with you. Many years ago, I had a Rotty and she came into heat. We had her in a kennel, on a cement slab, inside a fenced in back yard. There were no other dogs in the neighborhood. She still became pregnant. My best friend's mother had a chihuahua in heat and let her out to go potty. After 15 minutes or so, her dog had not come back. She went to look for her and found her tied with a male german shepherd. Because he was so large, her whole back end was left paralyzed. Hormones will make a dog go crazy and they will run for miles, dig through wood, chain link, and concrete, and find every means possible to get what it is they want.
Please have your girl checked and please be more careful with her in the future.

I think everyone deserves an answer that is devoid of someone's personal feelings about a situation. So... The possibility of her being pregnant if she was receptive, and he actually covered her, could be very high. My reccomendation is to keep her indoors with no unsupervised visits outside and get her to the vet. Even a call to them to let them know about the situation and find out when they need to see her to verify if she is or is not pregnant... Good luck!
