I'm very sorry but a person who doesn't know this much about canine reproduction should certainly NOT BE BREEDING A LITTER!!!
What are you going to do when your girl is whelping and in trouble? She could die trying to have pups because her owner didn't know enough to get her help when she needed it. This is especially common in toy breeds, they often require emergency cesareans at a possible cost running into the thousands. Can you afford this? Do you know what to do if your girl doesn't care for her puppies? If she refuses to clean, feed or care for them? What if she decides to cannibalize them? It happens.
My suggestion for you is if you really want to breed dogs in a responsible manner find a responsible breeder to mentor and teach you. If not, Please leave the breeding to the people who do

When a female dog is about 6 months old it has its first period or "heat" it will be noticable from drops of blood on her vulva. She will then go in heat about every 6 months.
It is never wise to breed a female dog untill she is at least 1 and a half years old, especially if it is a small breed like a yorkie because they need the time to grow.
Once she reaches this age and you notice she is in heat, you can breed her, the heat lasts about 21 days and if she is to have puppies she must be bred during this time. The ideal time is 7 to 14 days after she first goes into heat. Or 1 to 3 days after the blood stops.
If you are going to breed her to a stud dog the owner may be able to help you figure out the best day to breed your dog.
I hope I have helped. Good luck, and have fun with the puppies. But be aware that because of their small size yorkies are more likely to have problems with their first birthing than larger breeds, and they generally only have 1-4 puppies.

Please let your dog go through at least its first heat cycle (preferably its second cycle also) before breeding. When you decide to breed her, wait until your dogs bleeding stops or slows down considerably (about a week or so) and then have her come into contact with the male. This is the best time for breeding, after the bleeding has stopped. She can get pregnant for up to two weeks after. Only let her and the male tie 2 to 3 times at most. You don't want to risk her health by carrying too many puppies or not having sufficient milk supply to feed all of the pups. You should really talk to a breeder or a vet if you know nothing about the whole process before attempting to be a breeder. Please call a professional for advice for the sake of your pet.

If you would like to be deemed a responsible breeder there are plenty of websites you could access to research proper breeding practices. At this point you probably have not even had the dog examined by a vet to determine if she is suitable for breeding. So get a vet exam then do your research and decide if you're still interested in breeding her. If you decide that you're not interested in doing it properly, just get the poor little thing spayed.

Hello you should really wait until her second heating most dog breeders wait until then as i did with my female the reason is cause things could go wrong if you were to breed her sooner not saying anything would,but it could happen. I hope i have helped you out with your question.

You should wait until her second heat cycle, and when it is time she might have some bleeding, and her back end will be swollen. You should also breed her with a smaller male. Good luck

when she starts bleeding or you start finding small droplets of blood on the floor she in heat. Thats when you should have her breed.

If she barks a lot and she is bleeding from the rear, she can get pregnant.
