one huge Yorkie litter.. After surfing just about every website I could find tonight, I finally came apon yours, where I had the option to ask my question burning holes into every book/information I ever read on the amount of puppies a Yorkie is expected to whelp. I wouldn't consider myself a breeder, but I did take my time, effort, research when I decided to buy my male (5 yrs ago) and female (2 yrs ago) Yorkie (Both KUSA).. and finally the 1st litter arrived a week ago. My baby girl was in labour for over 6 hours and had finally produced 10 babies (2 sets of twins!!), one didn't make it through the night - and now we are proud as punch of our 9.. Every literature I have ever read about Yorkies led me to believe that they only produced 1 - 4 puppies as the norm. My Vet and myself are astonished ofcourse and would like to know if anyone else has experienced similar high amounts of puppies per litter?? Any replies would be appreciated..thank you JAQI:animal-pa |
congratulations on yourlitter. Never heard on one that large. How can you tell if they are twins/ Two of my girls produce five each time and two, only two. Those are the two I have had to have spayed with c-sections. |
First, welcome to YT. Second, congrats on the new pups. I'm not a breeder. Never bred a dog before so I'm not really sure. But an average sized yorkie normally have an average of 4 pups. |
Congratulations! Can I ask how much both the parents weigh and how much each pup weighs? |
wow 10 puppies:eek: :eek: Momma must be a trooper lol! congrats on your new babies sorry you lost one. I was also curious what the weight of the mom, dad and babies were can't wait to see pics!! |
Wow!:eek: Welcome and can't wait to see pictures! |
Ten Puppies? Welcome to YT! Congratulations on your new little ones. Sorry about the one you lost. Wow! That really is a big litter. I too am curious to see how big the parents and the puppies are. Pictures would be nice, too! We love pictures! ;) |

Your house will be really exciting in the coming months! :D |

Congratulations! I've never bred dogs so this may seem like a dumb question....how do you know that there are twins? Can't wait to see some pics! |
Were your "twins" sharing a placenta/sack? Best of luck with your babies and give that momma a great big hug :bighug: . I'm so sorry to hear you lost one.of the pups. Are you supplementing the feeding to help mom out? That's a lot of babies for her to feed. |
I want to know about the twins too. Can't wait to see pictures. How big are the parents? I have never heard of the standard having that many at one time. |
Congratulations on your large litter. The most i have had was 6 and lost a tiny one in that litter also. I own twins too so congrats on the twins. Watch the momma for calcium defienciency because that is alot of babies to feed. Cant wait to see pics of your new babies. |
