Donating YT 14K Club Member | Tails should be docked 3-5 days after birth...or as some like to wait till they reach a certain weight. Eyes should open "around" the 14th day and ears come after that.

| Sounds like you need to do some homework. feminvstr posted a link to a great article under the Breeder threads entitled whelping management which has a lot of good info. Another good site is www.debbiejensen.com You may also want to do ENS, Early Neurological Stimulation to promote development...instructions on www.breedingbetterdogs.com/achiever.html don't forget dew claws when you have tails done. best wishes with the new kids. |

| Yorkie puppy questions Thanks so much for these answer....my yorkie gave birth this Sunday 2/21. She seems a bit tired but for the most a great Mommy to her son. Is there anything I should look for other than what to expect with a yorkie puppy? I want to make sure my baby is okay. She's very overprotective of her baby. |

| I know eyes open around 10th day and ears at about 14th day. You should dock the tails on the 3rd day, no later the 4th at least. |
