You should wait stevo- a female should go through at least one heat cycle (about 1 yr old) and at the second one would be the first time you could consider breeding her- but I've heard you should wait still wait one moreOriginally Posted by SteveO
So if you translate this into the male life- I would say wait until he is at least 1 or even 1 and 1/2 to breed him with your female.
What do you think?
new baby soon- I can understand that- it would be different if you already had a dog- but to have two babies in the house, that will be nutts for herOriginally Posted by invisible
Perhaps think of it this way; while you are off at work during the day, she'll have to deal with two babies- all by her self- I wouldn't recomend getting a dog until the new baby (or the planned one) is at least 4/5 years old or get the dog an wait until it is at least 2/3 years old (my dog is 3 years old and he's just now starting to calm down and behave himself)
new human babies are the #1 cause of pound puppies
oh and if she is concidering a yorkie- I hope she likes poop- they are known for pooing in the house (well into adulthood- not just puppy hood)
does all this sound reasonable? I think any dog can be trained poorly; but I think timing is more important
