As is known, small breeds of dogs are usually quite demanding in care. Not surprisingly, the estrus among Yorkies also has some peculiarities. 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 tying in 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 begun 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.
