Why will a grown female yorkie not breed? She is over 3 yrs old. Has anyone else had this problem?

BamaFan121s · 09-22-2008, 03:13 PM

LOL...maybe she's trying to tell you something.

Maybe dogs know better than humans.

Maybe you are right! I have read so many stories of how people can't keep their dogs apart, and I can't get mine together

! He tries like crazy but she snaps at him and won't have any part of it. I will probably just get her spaded.

Have you tried a different stud? I hear sometimes that makes a difference although if she's difficult, it's probably best to spay her like you said.

I just bought this male recently. He is 2 yrs old and has sired several litters. But she doesn't like him or any other male for that matter.

How far along in heat is she?? Could it be that it's not her time yet?

gerry · 09-23-2008, 10:33 AM

This is her third week.

piptickle · 09-23-2008, 10:47 AM

Is that her in your avatar? She looks sooo tiny! Maybe she'd like a girlfriend instead

gerry · 09-23-2008, 10:50 AM

Yes, that's my girl. She weighs about 4lbs,

gerry · 09-23-2008, 10:54 AM

Maybe you're right. She might just want a girlfriend!

AWWW I would just get her fixed and let her live a happy doggy life. I would be scared to breed a 4 lb girl.

haha she's not giving her goodies up!

gerry · 09-23-2008, 11:00 AM

Someone told me it wasn't safe to have her put to sleep. What do you think?

chachi · 09-23-2008, 11:08 AM

I would say if she is not accepting to breeding by 3 shes never gonna be

jeanietoo · 09-23-2008, 11:09 AM

A 4 lb dog should never be breed especially if she's tiny boned like she looks in your avatar. It is perfectly safe to have her spayed at 4 lbs as long as you are using a vet that is familiar with small breed dogs and uses safe anesthesia etc.

It's safer than a small, 4 pound girl carrying a litter if she and the male accidentally get together.

Seriously though, it's no less safe than for any other dog to have anesthesia. It's a very routine, common procedure.
