| New member Hi I'm new here but I've had a Male yorkie for 2 years.He is 5 yrs old. He is one of the family ! ! I just brought home a female that was born Nov 21 2009. I have to ask how soon can she get pregnant? I want her to be 2 yrs old? before she breeds. How soon do I have to start worrying ? No, I'm already worried.. I just saw the puppy care guide stickie .I see that I messed that up already for an addition to the family. I will read all the stickies and search enjine but I sure could use some quick advice . thank you |

| Are you saying your female puppy is now 5 months old and you are worried she may be pregnant? Am I reading that right? I don't think females come into heat that early but if you post this thread in the Breeder's section for sure you will get the proper information for your questions. Oh and welcome to YT. |

| Hi and Welcome! As far as her getting pregnant, she should be too young, but please spay her. You should also have your male neutered. If cost is a problem, look into low cost spay/neuter programs near you. You can also buy spay/neuter certificates at www.friendsofanimals.org. Look at the right-hand side for a red box and enter your zipcode. You will then see a listing of vet clinics that accept the certificates near you. |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Yes, I agree with this, I've read too many horror stories, and "whoops" pregnancies. If you don't want to get her pregnant until two years old, you need to keep them apart all the time until than! Because unless you are a very knowledgeable breeder, you probably will overlook all the signs, some little girls aren't as obvious as others. Why do you want to breed her? There are so many pet yorkies who need homes, and with the economy a lot of millers are even going out of business. If you are only breeding for a little extra money, I urge you to do something else, breeding is very expensive if it's done properly, and if improperly done, you are condemning a puppy and it's family to a lifetime of grief.

| thanks for the link !! One reason is that I want to breed her later so that I can give a puppie to my grownup daughter. I am already thinking of getting the male neutered . One reason he might be too large for her ? 2nd reason, I don't think it's possible to watch them 100% of the time. She is 5 months so I have a little time to make an informed decision. I have lots of reading too do. Feel free to throw any advice at me lol. I'll post pics this week ) Last edited by luvndog; 04-27-2010 at 01:10 PM. Reason: spelling content |

| Welcome to YT! I would suggest that if you are considering breeding in the future, you start researching NOW. Find an experienced breeding mentor to work with who will help you evaluate your dogs to determine if they are of a quality that *should* be bred and who will guide you though having all the proper health tests done and preparation for breeding/whelping and raising a litter. If your sole reason for breeding her is to provide your daughter with a puppy, take the easy route and buy her one. You will come out way ahead in the long run, both monetarily and with a shred more sanity. |
