Breeding Yorkies can be a challenging experience. There are several aspects to ensure that the health of your dog and the puppies are best. Since you are breeding for selling the puppies, you must make sure from the beginning that you have healthy and active puppies.
Breeding would take time, expenditure, and a lot of efforts. So, unless you are a full time breeder, do not proceed with the process.
Otherwise, you may have to handle more puppies than you can manage. In worst cases, the mother dog and the puppy can have health complications, so it is essential to have the vet’s number in your phonebook.
If you are not feeling too confident about it, you can just play safe and buy the Yorkie from an ethical breeder. Look for breeders who also sell pet stuff like harness, and car safety belts for cats and dogs.
Follow the essentials
However, if you want to go ahead and have a litter of these cute small dogs, remember the essentialities of breeding Yorkies first time. First, you must be sure that your Yorkie has the necessary breeding age. You must wait for your dog to be at least two years of age before you start breeding. Always ensure that you are taking your pet to the vet before you start breeding.
Yorkies have certain genetic conditions, and you must not contribute diseased puppies to the gene pool. Let your vet examine your dog and give it a health clearance. If it does not have the clearance, you must refrain from breeding.
Also, while carrying the dog to the vet, take best care. A special seat belt for the dog can be an ideal solution. You can buy the P26o Adjustable Pet Dog Safety Leads Car Seat Belt. These are great to transport the dog safely. However, if you are taking the pregnant Yorkie for a vet examination, always confirm that the seat belt is not stressing the animal.
Be attentive for the right time
In addition, you must check the heat cycle of the female. The duration around a fortnight into the cycle is the best time for breeding. The bodies of the females are most receptive to conceive puppies during this period. However, you cannot just introduce a male to the female and start breeding. You must give them time to familiarize.
The best way is to keep the male and female together during the optimum heat cycle. Never take for granted that the male and female would invariably like each other. Always check for the mutual temperament of the dogs. If they like each other, the signs would be obvious. If they do not like, do not try to force a tie. In addition, you must make sure that the dogs have some private time, without your intervention.
Spending time with puppies
If things go well, you can soon have a beautiful litter of Yorkie puppies. However, do not handle the puppies soon after birth. Your smell on them may cause the mother dog to neglect the puppy. However, you have to be watchful.
You have to ensure that the litter is clean and the puppies have good food. These are essential for maintaining their best health. Besides, many potential owners like to see the cleanliness of the litter and the parents before buying a new dog.
In addition, you have to ensure that you are spending sufficient time with the dogs. Always remember these essential tips while breeding Yorkshire terriers.

[…] Take Care of the Crucial Aspects While Breeding Yorkies First Time […]
Adopt one of the thousands of homeless Yorkies and don’t breed!
I have tried and tired to adopt a Yorkie or a mixed Yorkie. I live in Kentucky and have been told that there is a Yorkshire Recue Foundation. I don’t see where there are hardly any in the close states around me. I’m signed up and haven’t received any e-mails or calls. I’m even willing to pay for shipping or go myself.
I had a Yorkie, that I purchased from a breeder. I had him 11 years and someone stole him out of my yard within 5 mins on 4/20/16. People always said he looked like a puppy, but he wasn’t. He was my baby though. I haven’t given up hope, so I have decided to buy one from the breeder I purchased him from that will be ready in 4 weeks. How, I ended up on this page I don’t know. Do, you know how I can adopt one in need of a home. I have thought of even having two, not for breeding, for their company, and because I have a home and lots of Love for them and that I’m home all day. Thank you. Carolyn

I know this post is old, but did you ever get a Yorkie? I live in Kentucky also. I have a 5 yr old Yorkie that is as cute as can be but she hates men. Looking to Rehome her as my husband is tired of being bitten and barked at. I’ve only had her a few months. A friend gave her to me.
sorry to hear about your loss Carolyn Yorkie’s are highly sought after and will be stolen quite quickly if left unattended I have seen it with my own 2 eye’s people just walking up on my property being sneaky and acting rather sketchy and when confronted about why there there they quickly claim to have heard puppies screaming or crying out when nothing could have been further from the truth. they noticed the puppies out in the yard with my family during potty training walk’s and thought they would;d come back poke around when no one was home or paying attention and get lucky and steal a pup or entire litter and yes that’s happened to I am expecting a litter in the next couple of week’s and they will be ready for the new fur-ever home’s on Valentine’s day if you haven’t found replacement or if you want another to add to the family

I’m trying to breed my 1yr old York out of PA
I was told they should be 2 years old before breeding them.
You have to wait until your female Yorkie is at least 2 YEARS OLD before you can breed her! Please DO NOT breed your 1-year-old Yorkie! It could kill her.
