When is the best time to breed a Yorkie? It is best to breed a Yorkie around 18 months after the female dog is born, and about 24 months after the male dog is born. After the Yorkie reaches adulthood, it will go into estrus twice a year, in spring and autumn. Sometimes female dogs will have vaginal bleeding. The best time for breeding is four or five days after the bleeding, when the amount of bleeding is small.

Yorkies will go into heat for the first time 8-12 months after birth. At this time, the reproductive organs have matured, but it is best not to breed Yorkies at this time. Because at this time, the various organs of the dog’s body have not grown enough to bear the pressure of pregnancy.

Therefore, it is best to breed Yorkshire terriers when female dogs are around 18 months old, and when male dogs are around 24 months old. If the dog is forcibly bred before this time, it may easily lead to dystocia and other conditions.

When a Yorkie reaches adulthood, it will go into estrus twice a year, in spring and autumn, that is, from March to May and from September to November. Yorkshire terrier female dogs will bleed during estrus, which is what we commonly call "menstruation". It is not suitable to breed when there is a lot of bleeding. The best breeding time is about four or five days after estrus, when there is no blood at all or only a little blood in the vagina.

Try not to bathe your Yorkie during estrus, as the dog’s reproductive organs are susceptible to infection at this time. If parents do not intend to breed Yorkies with puppies, it is best to wear menstrual pants for Yorkies, which can avoid pregnancy to a certain extent and is also cleaner and hygienic for the dogs themselves.
