I have Trupanion, but I also have Banfield(with Petsmart) for regular check ups, shots, and "hiccups" along the way.

LOL thats funny and great i will check it out

Not a bad parent at all as long as you do the best you can for your pup and get her the help she needs IF she needs it you're doing fine! The fact that you even joined this forum lets me know you love your little girl already. My comments are based on his website alone so it's not based on any real dealings for all I know he could be some type of yorkie guru lol

Yes it's a good thing. The less heats they go through the less chance of mammary cancer they have. Yorkies are also known to not loose all there baby teeth so people get those pulled at the same time.

Well the guru ( Yorkshire terrier club of America) says he's doing many things wrong so I doubt that.

Hot topic! Neither one of my pets (female and male) are fixed. I won't do it based on my own personal research and weighing the pros against the cons. However I do understand why those who choose to spay/neuter have the procedures done. All I can advise you to do is research, research, research! You are the one at the end of the day who is responsible for your pet and her well being. There are also plenty of threads on the subject here

Hmm i just dont want to worry about pups and etc even though she will be mostly an inside dog and ill take her out to walk and potty maybe a play date here and there. when they get in heat do you use a diaper?

I use my son's leftover pullups lmao. But yes it is a hassle keeping them away from each other for the month she's in heat( three weeks really but I keep them away from each other 4 weeks just in case...I think a yorkie bulldog mix would be all types of ugly). She can't go on walks that month or the dog park etc. So if u dont want to worry about that I would look into spaying and if there are any adverse effects from it.

I'm sure you can lol I just dont on the off chance I'd run into a male dog that has gotten loose. I'm 5"1 I'd rather not have to fight off the advances of a would be doggie suitor lol
