| Question about Yorkies in Heat I have finally made the decision to purchase my first yorkie and I was all set on getting a little male, but the breeder that I am going through has the cutest little female and I fell in love with her as soon as I saw her. The only question I have is about going into heat? My boyfriend does not want a female dog that goes into heat and makes a mess on the floor or anything, so any suggestions or information about the whole process and is it really that bad? |

| Females in heat can make a mess, but getting her spayed will fix the whole problem! Welcome to YorkieTalk!! Last edited by AMD; 06-21-2008 at 08:47 AM. |

| Bella had her first heat before I had her spayed. I wish she had never had her first heat because my vet says it really decreases her risk of breast cancer if you spay first. Bella was so little and my vet didnt want to spay her until she was a year old. Well she had her first heat at 10 months I was so disapointed. So now she is a much calmer girl. Still playful but not as spastic there are panties they can wear. I just noted a few spots of blood on her blanket on her bed. it wasnt that bad. My friend had a great dane. huge difference. She sprayed the entire wall with blood it was EVERYWHERE! |
