Someone I know bought two Yorkies to breed, and they just mated during the female's first heat (by accident.) Is she likely to get pregnant? What kind of problems will she/her litter likely have, if any.
BTW, I don't really need to hear alot of comments about how you don't agree with dog-breeding, #1, that has nothing to do with the question, #2 I'm not the one who did it, I really don't even like Yorkies that much, let alone want to breed the little rat-like things, just trying to help out a friend and #3 if you don't like my comment about Yorkies, refer back to #1 I appreciate any REAL HELP and not stupid comments I can get, for the dog's sake.

My dog is not a Yorkie she is just a mutt. Everyone told me not to worry that she would not come into heat until she was older and added let her come into heat once before having her spayed. This advice was all wrong she came into heat at 6 months. I caught her with the dog next door just one time. Pretty soon along came 8 puppies. All 8 were healthy and she had no problems having them. She was a good mother for as young as she was. I think your friends dog could very well get pregnant and I think the puppies will be fine. Have your friend call the vet. for prenatal vitimans.

Oh boy some of the answers here. OK the mating probably took if there was a tie. ( If they were stuck together.) If the owner is lucky the female will only have a pup or 2. The biggest problem is that during whelping the female being so young will not know what to do once the pups are born and the likelihood of-her not caring for the pups is high. also because they are tiny dogs the possibility of a c-section goes way up. If she is sure the mating resulted in a tie she should now get the female on a good dog food and start to feed it to her now. Also get the female into the vets ASAP to see if the pregnancy can be stopped.
Tell them good luck!!!

i learn a long time ago nothing is done by accident. The only thing that worries me is that she can get scared. I witness a dog who had puppies at 6 months old and the poor little thing freak out . she has no idea what was happening to her. She didn't make a very good mommy , heck she was a puppy herself. I remember when I was going to breed my dog Puff Puff. She was two years old at the time and I was watching her playing. Even at two I could see she wasn't ready to have puppies. She was still acting like a puppy herself lol. At 2-1/2 I felt she was ready and she made a beautiful mom. She may do alright at 9 months even though i don't agree with that, only because when they are scared it is so sad. Just tell your friend to stick by her side and make sure she doesn't get scared and to find out what to do in case something goes wrong.

Sure, it's perfectly possible that the new addition will be the more domineering of the two. The pecking order doesn't necessarily have to do with age, but with temperament and personality. (As they're both puppies, though, who knows?) I wouldn't jump to any conclusions right now, though. See, it sounds to me like the puppy is just being a puppy. At this age, the average puppy shouldn't be afraid to be bratty! Like small children, puppies are obnoxious. They don't know any better. They like to play rough, and they don't yet know canine manners (like respecting another dog's possessions). And it's quite natural for your older dog to be tolerating him because, again, he's just a puppy. Puppies usually have a "puppy license" that lets them get away with their rude antics until they're about four months old. This is when older dogs usually step in to discipline the puppy. Don't be surprised if your older dog seems to suddenly snap in a few weeks. There may be growling, air-snapping and barking, but just watch closely. If the dog does not harm the puppy and if the puppy doesn't seem traumatized afterward, you'll know the older dog was just teaching the puppy some manners.

Ok, dont worry I'm not a breeder hater. And I dont tell people to spay, because I believe the only dogs that SHOULD be spayed are mutts. Ok well anyways, breeding on the first heat isnt too good, but she should be ok, just be careful. She could get pregnant if they actually...did it. I dont know problems with Yorkies saying I breed Basset Hounds but you have to make sure all your pups get nice homes and have the knowing fact that death could happen.
Good luck.
Oh and by the way, Don't listen to the people who will put you down on here saying your an 'unexpirenced' breeder. Everyone has to start out new, which is what you're doing, so just ignore them. They say there are many dogs in the pound but they are mostly mutts. How many times do you see a purebred yorkie? Not very often. =] Don't fret either, if you fret you're pregnant dog will fret too and that isnt good.

Good job in putting in what you really want and not the garbage stuff. I couldn't agree more. Anyway she is probably pregnant and your friend should go and get her an altrasound to see if she is or not and how many pups she has in her. Now she would have to be so far along I believe so your friend should phone a vet to see how far along she would have to be. Cause if she is pregnant then when she has them he/she will know how many she should pop out. Just let your friend know that it is alot of work having pups and someone should be there when she goes into labour in case she has trouble especially since this is her first. I know I was glad someone was there to help me when I went into labour. Haha! Good luck and the puppies should be cute but maybe she isn't pregnant. My husband told me to say that opinions are like a**holes everyone has one and they all stick. Pretty funny eh! Tell your friend best of luck.

Generally, a dog should not be allowed to mate on first heat as it tends to block further growth and development of muscles and bone structure.
However, do not worry , nature takes better care of animals than it does humans.
Take the dog to the Vet regularly and if affordable bring him/her for the delivery.
Too much inbreeding produce weak dogs which cannot survive without constant human intervention. This is why a good stray is often a stronger dog.

Sounds to me as though the dogs were just doing what comes naturally! Do you think animals in the wild wait for their second or third heat? There is concern because the ***** is so small but a vet can help. And Elliot----you are anthropormorphizing! Dogs do not have an emotional attachment to sex. Sorry didn't know b--ch was a bad word here LOL

Some puppies can get pregnant. I am not sure about yorkies though. If this recently happened, the vet has these "morning after" shots; some of them work up to 3 days afterward.

She will probably have no problems at all just nice little Yorkies
My goodness everyone has so many wise tails to tell. Well folks as someone who has bred at least 30 AKC Champions in my life, and started showing dog back in 1965. I can assure you this is not the first time a dog was ever bred on its first season. Yes I like to see the first season skipped, and yes I like NOT to breed back to back but all these problems that we are hearing are NON sense.If this dam needs a C section she would probably have needed a c section at 2 years old also. No different. Sure it would have been nice for her to be a bit older but from what you all are saying every teenage mother in the country should have just about died in childbirth LOL
