As is known, small breeds of dogs are usually quite demanding in care. Not surprisingly, yorkies also have some features. If you decide to have a nice representative of this breed, you should prepare in advance, especially when you plan on further offspring.
The York yoke has some peculiarities
In principle, you will not have any special problems if you do not plan to start offspring. The situation is completely different when the breeder is going to reduce the bitch. Prepare for the fact that calculating the heat period will be quite difficult. The fact is that the first heat in York usually comes at the age of ten months and ideally should be repeated approximately every six months.
But, as a rule, even if the first heat in a York woman falls precisely to the age of 10 months, this is absolutely not a guarantee of a stable cycle. In fact, in the first years of life the cycle can be more or less stable, the period of estrus can repeat even every ten months. However, any deviations in the health of the pet can significantly shift the time. That is why it is so important to learn how to determine the first day of the beginning of the process.
To do this, carefully observe the pet before approaching the planned date. Here are the main signs of estrus in York:
- you will notice a change in the behavior of the pet: the dog marks everything around the house and on the street, even the most obedient can begin to mark the territory;
- the characteristic behavior of a york during a heat is the desire to escape: at any slightest opportunity, the bitch tries to escape and find a groom, which considerably complicates walks during this period (this is one of the reasons why animals are confined only in an enclosed place at the residence of the male);
- in a week or two you will notice that the animal leaves characteristic reddish spots with a specific and very strong smell;
- as soon as the female is ready to meet with the bridegroom, she lifts her ass a bit and tugs her tail.
The york's estrus - what does the master need to know?
Once you have found the last sign, you can safely call the owner of the cable. The duration of estrus in York usually does not exceed three weeks. But for each particular animal this period is different. Know the duration of estrus in Yorks is necessary in order to correctly determine the time of knitting. The fact is that bringing your pet to the groom should be in the interval between the 9th and 13th day. Once the estrus is over, the bitch very aggressively begins to perceive the increased attention to his person from the side of the cables. It is important not to miss the moment and start on time.
It is worthwhile to understand that this period will somewhat complicate your communication with the python, as some difficulties may arise. For example, aggressive behavior can make communication very difficult, and the animal shows its negative attitude towards everyone. Be prepared, that the pet will mark everything and stop this process you can not. Therefore, it is worth buying special diapers for dogs.
As soon as your York has started estrus, start preparing all the necessary documents and searching for the groom. If you do not plan to practice puppies, you can try to monitor the process. To control the state of the animal can be two methods: pharmacy means for regulating the sexual instinct or sterilization operation.
The first option is much better, as it is more humane and if you want you can always go back to tying. In addition, such drugs are able to normalize the cycle of the animal. But with the operation of things are much worse: it is necessary to give special medications to the animal to undergo surgical interventions and come back to normal.
Yorkshire Terrier - decorative dog, bred in England in the late XIX century.
According to the International Cynological Association (FCI) standard, the weight of York does not exceed 3.1 kg. These are indoor dogs, convenient for maintenance and breeding in a city apartment.
Childbirth
On average, how long does the Yorkshire terrier last? Bearing of puppies yorkshire terrier lasts 58-64 days, this amounts to 9 weeks. If it seems to you that the dog is pacing, and you have made a few matings, count the number of days from the last. Perhaps, conception happened just then. If birth did not occur after 64 days of pregnancy, contact your vet, he will examine the dog and decide whether or not to do cesarean section. Overpopulation threatens the death of offspring, a sign of the death of puppies - the allocation of a green liquid and pus from the loop.
Important! Before the onset of labor, the temperature of the bitch falls 1-2 degrees, the puppies stop moving. The dog becomes restless, it seems that she lost weight: her stomach falls. This process lasts from 2-3 hours to a day. The active phase of childbirth often begins at night.
At the beginning intensive labor the dog lies on his right side, out of it fluid fluid of amniotic fluid. He bursts himself or the bitch bites him. Do not touch the bubble and do not pierce it yourself! Between the contractions the dog rests, breathes heavily.
Ensure the silence and absence of strangers in the room, small children. In nature, animals retire, because they feel defenseless. Approximately through two hours after the withdrawal of water, the first puppy will be born. At once after childbirth, after mother gnaws the umbilical cord, the baby will start to suck colostrum, it is extremely important for his health and immunity in the future.
If the birth was successful, the mother feels well, the puppies are active and they themselves seize the nipple, your task is to observe and take care of the full nutrition for the mother in the first days. Do not touch the kids unnecessarily, do not try to play with them. The first days they are blind and deaf and can only sleep and suck.
Important! If the puppies are anxious and squeamish, the mother will most likely not have enough milk, then they need to supplement the special mixture through a pipette or a syringe without a needle, and a bitch of calcium and more water. To understand if there is enough milk, weigh the pups once a day and record the indicators. Normally, in the first week of life, the puppy of the Yorkshire Terrier adds 15 g.
The room should not have drafts, the temperature is 28 degrees. After 2-3 weeks, when the kids are stronger, lower the temperature to 22-20 degrees. If they lie separately from the mother, put a heating pad in the box under the diaper, the optimum temperature is 32-34 degrees.
Be sure to contact your veterinarian if:
- The estrus in the bitch is more frequent than twice a year or does not stop more than 22 days.
- At the pregnant bitch from a loop blood, mucus with pus, a green liquid is allocated.
- The dog did not give birth on the 64th day after the last mating.
- 24 hours after the appearance of the signs of delivery, the bouts did not begin.
- Three hours after the passage of the amniotic fluid, the first-born was not born.
- Puppy does not seize the nipple itself
To the future breeding stud used for breeding, it should receive at the exhibition an assessment of not less than "very good". An obvious requirement for a breeding bitch is its health and good shape. A mating bitch is allowed at the age of 18 months. It is usually recommended to knit a york in the third estrus.
When do yorks begin the first heat?
The first heat in Yorks comes usually at the age of 8-10 months, the following repeat with an interval of six months. A lot of bitches, in which the first estrus begins much later - in 12-14 months. The interval between the estrus in Yorkers is also very variable - from 5 to 10 months. It happens even that the yoke of the york comes only once a year. In the same bitch, the duration of the interval between the estrus can also change. To old age, as a rule, the interval between estrus increases.
How long does the yoke last?
Normally, the estrus lasts 3 weeks, and from the 9th to the 13th day the breeding bitch can be fertilized. The best day for mating is the 12th day. But this is not an obligatory rule. If there are deviations in the duration of the estrus, then the period begins to change, during which the bitch can be fertilized. Therefore, it is recommended to closely monitor the breeding bitch during the entire heat and record the dates of its beginning and end. This plays an extremely important role in the correctness of the selection of the Yorkshire terrier mating day. Preventive vaccination of the pedigree should be done no later than a month before the expected heat and not earlier than a month after its end or a month after the distribution of puppies. In addition, you need to check the girl yorky the presence of worms.
Once you have established the tribal bitch beginning of the estrus, in which you are going to tie it, contact the breed supervisor or the Head of breeding. He tells you what kind of dog your dog should be tied to, and tells the address of its owner, and also tells you what day it is best to knit. If you and your dog go on mating in another city, choose the appropriate mode of transport so that the breeding bitch is not inconvenienced and has not disappeared.
As soon as you receive the address of the owner of the dog, contact him and inform him about the prospective date of mating. It must be done as quickly as possible to make sure that on that day the dog will not be "busy", that is, there is no earlier arrangement for mating with him. Otherwise, you will immediately be told who is his backup. Also, prior to mating, arrange with the owner of the dog and the mating fee. Usually this is a puppy or its cost.
The owner of the dog has the right of the second choice, the first choice belongs to you, of course, in the event that you want to leave the puppy yourself.
Never bathe a breeding bitch before knitting, as by doing this you will eliminate its specific smell, which is so attractive to the male. Usually a breeding bitch is allowed to knit not more than twice a year, that is, through estrus. The use of the stud bitch ends at the age of 8 years.
The first heat in the young female Yorkshire terrier comes at the time of her full puberty, usually from the seventh to the tenth month of the animal's life.
This is a stressful time for the Yorkshire girls.
They need to decide what is preferable: knitting or sterilization. Depending on the decision taken care of the animal.
The frequency of the onset of the next heat in dogs of this breed varies greatly: it can begin as in three, and in 10-12 months after the termination of the previous one.
This is due to the peculiarities of the animal's reproductive organs, the state of its health, and the quality of its food.
On average, excretions appear every six months and often fall to fall or spring. After feeding the droppings, the tear in the yorkshire terrier bitch comes five months later.
Main features
It is very important to note the first day of the period, especially if it is the first heat in the life of the pet. Signs of the fact that a new cycle of egg separation has begun is the following features of the behavior and appearance of the pet:
- there were spotting in the form of dark red odorous specific puddles. They appear daily for six to nine days;
- an animal everywhere leaves its marks, and often does it right in the apartment;
- on a walk the terrier aspires to escape from the owner: the instinct requires immediate mating.
It is important not to allow the appearance of outbred puppies, especially if planned mating with a thoroughbred dog is planned. Otherwise, sterilization is necessary.
- the animal behaves restlessly, does not listen to commands, can show aggression towards the owner;
- the genitals blush, swell;
- the dog assumes a characteristic posture, lifting the pelvis and tail.
The first heat makes the dog ready to mate. However, one should not hurry. The mating is conducted not earlier than the age of one and a half years, during the third cycle.
Admit mating to 18 months can not: the body of the animal is not yet ready to bear puppies. Small carry the delivery is very difficult.
This period usually takes two to three weeks, although sometimes it can be much shorter and last 10-12 days.
Training at this point is meaningless, the Yorkshire Terrier is not able to concentrate.
Once the estrus has begun, you need to prepare for mating. If the duration of excretions is normal, the ideal fertilization time is the middle of the cycle, that is, the second week of the three-week period.
To negotiate with the owner of the male, who will cover the bitch of Yorkshire, should be on the interval from the ninth to the thirteenth day.
If the cycle in the bitch is unstable or continues less, then the conception dates need to be adjusted individually.
In any case, you should focus on the middle of the cycle. Failure of the discharge schedule in the young bitch may be indicative of the disease, but in old dogs the periods are less frequent.
Choosing the right day for mating increases the success of fertilization, so, ideally, on the 12th day, a healthy egg separates.
Knit dogs after the end of vydeleny there is no sense: the sexual desire in the bitch Yorkshire completely fades.
It is important to have time to make all the necessary vaccinations so that the puppies are born from a fully healthy mother. During the cycle, the dog should not be vaccinated. Between the beginning and the complete cessation of the discharge should take at least 30 days.
An obligatory requirement for breeding dogs is a test for eggs of worms.
How to solve the problems of estrus
The period of estrus in the bitch Yorkshire terrier - a difficult time for the owner.
The first and subsequent cycles often turn an obedient affectionate dog into a fussy, sometimes rather aggressive animal. Do not add joy and dog tags on the floor of the apartment. If the mating is planned, you need to wait patiently for the planned meeting.
The first knitting is a responsible step. The dog should not get tired during the journey to the dog, if he lives in another city. The bitch should not bathe in any way, so as not to discourage her attracting smell for the dog.
If mating is not planned, the dog needs to be isolated from the yard dogs.
However, sterilization can solve the problem. This is the best option if you do not want to do it.
Sterilization of the Yorkshire Terrier bitches is carried out at the age of four to six months, before the first heat has come.
Sterilization - not the only way to stop heat. Suspend the process can be medications that regulate sexual desire and relieve the problems associated with it. How to solve the problem, the owner of the Yorkshire terrier should solve.
However, one must understand: sterilization is irreversible, whereas regulatory means allow the reproductive function to be returned to the dog.

Although it is not uncommon for Yorkers to first heat in 12-14 months. Also, the interval may vary from 5 to 10 months. Also, the interval between the estrus in the same bitch may change. In general, this is quite normal phenomena and if there are no more deviations, then one can not worry.
If any side effects are observed, it is better to contact the veterinarian.
How to determine the estrus in Yorkshire?
You can assume the beginning of the first heat on changing the behavior of the dog. She can become excitable, disobedient, lose appetite or go to the toilet in the wrong place. At the beginning of the estrus, a certain swelling of the loop is observed and soon bloody discharge appears from it, as a rule, rather scanty. After a couple of days, the discharge becomes more abundant.
After a week or 10 days from the onset of estrus, the loop still increases in size, and the discharge gradually becomes lighter. Usually, the estrus lasts three weeks, of which a female can be fertilized from the 9th to the 13th day. The best day is the 12th day - the moment of ovulation - the exit from the ovaries of mature eggs, ready for fertilization. Although this rule is not mandatory and therefore it is recommended not to rely on calculations, but to carefully monitor the bitch during each heat and record all dates of its start and finish.
This will help you choose the best day for mating. By day, the best for mating, the loop reaches its maximum dimensions and becomes soft, and the discharge from it has a yellowish pink color. The bitch starts to flirt with the males, and when they start "courting", she freezes in the appropriate position and pulls the tail to the side. The same bitch assumes the position, if in the area of the tail it is stroked or touched to the "loop". It is during this period that it is best to knit. The duration of ovulation, when it can be fertilized, can also be different.
On average, it can be from 3 to 5 days. It is best to knit a bitch in the middle of this period. Sometimes, by the time of ovulation, the discharge lightens only slightly, or throughout the entire estrus can be sufficiently bright and abundant. It's also quite rare, but there are bitches where the allocation is so scarce that it is impossible to see. This heat is called bloodless. It can also be that throughout the heat the loop remains stiff and does not actually increase in size.
