one puppy in litter Hello everyone, I'm new to this board. I just got a little female yorkie shes almost 9 weeks old. She appears very healty. I do have one question. When I went to the breeder and asked how many puppies were in the litter they had told me she was the only one. Is this something that I should be worried about? Any information on this would be greatly appreciated. Shes going to the vet tomorrow for her check up. Thank you. |
That isn't very common, but I do not think it means anything is wrong. I'm sure she is fine, and the vet can help you out if you are worried. Good luck and I'm sure none of us can wait til you show us a picture of you baby! What is her name? |
I didn't think this was a very common thing. Also I think shes a little big for her age since the breeder told me she'd be about 4 pounds. Shes seems very healthy, I haven't noticed anything wrong with her. Her name is Lady. Shes very sweet. As soon as I figure out how to post a picture I will. Thank you |

Thank you so much for all your help. I'm sure I'm going have lots of questions since this is my first yorkie. I'm trying to figure out how to post a picture on here. Is there a certain way to do it? Thanks again |

You did it! Awesome,& Lady's soooo cute! |
thanks again for all your help.....now I'm gonna work on the aviator...just have to resize my pictures |
pup A single pup in a litter is not rare for toy breeds..and sometimes there were two and one did not make it. I think the single ones do just fine, they bond well to humans..ans most breeders have other puppies for them to become part of a litter after weaning. She really is cute...she may be bigger then what you asked or, but she has a lovely. sweet face. She looks her age to me..trim the ear hair so they will start to go up. Best wishes |
She's adorable! She may end up to be short and stockier but she doesn't look like she will get real big. |
ooohhh she is pretty congrats! |
She is beautiful! |
Oh she is adorable she looks like my Taz. Welcome to YT hope your computer chair is real comfy as you will be in it alot.... |
only one being the only baby is not something you should worry about. She should be bigger because she didn't have to fight for milk! And she got plenty of it. Most of my litters have been 3 or 4. But my first litter was one BIG stocky boy. So don't worry so much and just enjoy her! :) |
Hi! My Topher, who's now 22 wks old and 7.8lbs was the only pup born to his mom. The breeder told me from the outset that judging by his weight at birth and his growth that he would be a good size, which was fine by me. I'm not sure how big he will get as the charts don't seem to go up this high..lol. He's a gorgeous little guy and seems to have bonded with us wonderfully. We adopted him at 18 weeks and according to the vet he's in excellent health. Your little gal is so sweet....congratulations!! Val |
One puppy litters are the things overdrawn bank accounts aremade of. So often the mom is not stimulated into labor and needs a c-section. Never during the day but in the middle of the night when the ER charges $1200.00 and up for the surgery. Now you have a mom who is not bonded to a newborn for 24 hours and you sit with the sweet little one on your lap or in your bra a=or somewhere to keep it warm. All the time offering it back to mom who just is not quite ready to accept and care for it. I have found that one puppy litters are fairly common in Yorkies. At least the ones I have bred. It just happens. The puppy is huge while still nursing but will slow down growthwise after weaning..Health should not be an issue one way or the other.. |
I had a boxer and a Doberman they both had only one big puppy. |
I've heard of litters producing only one pup. My Gracie came from a litter of two but what reasons would you be worried for? |
I have had 2 litters with single pups.Both had live pups we did loose our recent one born breech cord ripped before he came out etc.. The only problem I have had is not good enough contractions to keep things going. Pups came out fine noone was too big, they just did not progress.Singleton litters need alot of attention for the have no siblings to play and interact with.Our last little boy was a little aggresive and fiesty which I do belive is common in single litters for they have no pecking order with their siblings, all they have is themselves.I have been lucky with our singleton litters my girls like to have babies during the day.Bless their hearts. |
My yorkie became pregnat at 9 months old, we thought her heat was over. Huge mistake! She had a c-sec at 11 months with only 1 puppy 6.3 oz. The puppy lived for 5 days, the vet thinks the puppy got tramatized by me not keeping her warm enough and then stopped nurcing, she spent her last 2 days at the vet and at night with us (my husband and i took shifts staying up all night). It was one of the sadest things we ever went threw. Now we want to breed her and we did and she didn't get pregnat and now she is having a false pregnacy. These yorkies are to much. Good luck with yours I think it will be just fine. Jeanne |
Very cute pup! Did you find out how much she weighs? |

Was it the mother first litter? I've heard that first time Moms frequently only have one, especially if they bred her at a young age. Welocme to YT. |
She is adorable |

Madeleine was the only pup when she was born. Her mom is about 5 lbs and her dad is about 4 lbs - Madeleine is just over 8 but as healthy and happy as can be!! Her mom did have a little trouble with the delivery too. Good luck!!! By the way - she gorgeous! |
