miniature and standard hi just looking for a bit of advice i have a boy miniature yorkie he weighs 3kg and i have a girl standard size yorkie weighs about 5 to 6 kg i think they have mated it is not something i wanted to happen and he was bood at the vet to be done on the 20th but she has come in session is this dangrous for my female yorkie xxxx |
She is decent weight to have pups |
my boy is 16 months and my girl is 3yrs it is both there first time will everythink be ok just a bit worried x |
I thought England’s rules were very similar to ours, not positive I'm converting kilograms right, but I think your girl weighs around 11 pounds and your boy weighs around 7 pounds? The Yorkshire Terrier Club of American says that weight must not exceed 7 pounds or 3.17514659 kilograms. There is no classification for different sizes. The poodle has three classifications "Standard" "Miniature" and "Toy", however the Yorkie only has one classification and that is "Toy". How old is your female? I'm not clear as to why you think this is dangerous. |
You need to research and prepare for the whelping. The Deb Jennings site is a good one. She could be adequate size to whelp and you could be very prepared for the whelp and yet something still could go terrible wrong that is the risk you take when you breed. You will have to help her whelp small breeds dont whelp on their own. You will need to tie cords and stimulate new pups to breathe. This takes your time devotion and you have to know what you are doing |
Also you need to save money like a couple grand in case she would need a c section |
Having puppies is always scary. So much can go wrong. I think it might be wise to have a vet confirm the preg. and have her/ him on standby. Your Vet may even know a local breeder that could help you with the delivery ( A dog-midwife). Everyone on YT will help how we can, but I think you need some one right there with you. I also suggest you may want the Vet to do a C-section and spay if that is affordable, safe and practical. Best Wishes |
Last thing I helped deliver was a cow.... |
Totally OT but I always thought it'd be neat to have different size Yorkies, like Schnauzers and Poodles. |

I took my girl the vet today and she has been weighed she is 5.7kg she is 3 years old and is only very early in the pregnancy so was told to come back in a few weeks and they can scan her I was just a bit worried cause didn't think my baby boy would of been able to get her pregnant cause he is so s small to her he weights just 3kg I now have time to look up as much information about bring these babies in to the world but I must admit I am very scared and might have to just call someone for professional help I wouldn't be very good in that situation if something went wrong I am gutted she is having puppies as I think people who don't know what there doing should leave it to someone who knows when she has her babies I am going to get her done x x thank you all for your help xx |

It sounds like you are taking very good care of your baby girl and making sure that you have the knowledge that you need as well as physical help from a mentor. The very best of luck to you. Please keep us informed as to how things are going. |
Yes my both dogs have had full vet checks and have no illnesses they are both full pedigree and are up to date with all injections |
I will do thank you xx |
I may not say this right but in reference to meeting the "standard". The AKC states that a yorkie standard (what you will see in the ring) is not to exceed 7lbs (not sure what that is in metric). There is no AKC class recognized at miniture or standard size,yorkies are a toy sized breed and that is what is recognized by the AKC. I do not know if there are different rules for someone that lives in the UK,but there are people on this forum that breed and show and they would be able to tell you. You will hear the term "teacup" refering to yorkies,poodles and chihuahuas,there is no such thing. It is a term used to describe a tiny dog,but is not recognized by the AKC. I hope this helps. It is how I understand the rules of the AKC but I do not show. |
My both babies are KC registered but they are not show dogs just my family pets my only worries was that he might of been to small for her and didn't know if they could mate thought he wouldn't of been able to get on her but when I spoke to the vet they said she would of just lied down for him the vet said if he was big and she was miniature there could of been complications as the pups could of been to big for her to carry but cause he is only small it should all go fine xx |
