I'm not sure what the requirement is but my dalmatian/lab had her litter when she was 2 years old. She had 11 healthy puppies, all survived just fine and she had no negative affects from the pregnancy.

∙ 9y agoIt is recommended that a dog only be bred once a year. Breeding more than this can result in sick or dead puppies. It will also harm the female because it puts too much stress on their body.

Is it safe for your small yorkie to have puppies this year her last litter was sep 2008 she is 2years old and had no problems with delivering last litter?
it should be fine to have a second litter as long as she is well looked after. you may also want to check with your vet, though.
In dogs short hair is dominant over long hair. Two short haired dogs are the parents of a litter of eight puppies. Six puppies have short hair and two have long hair. What are the genotypes of parents?
Well, it really depends. You have to look at their pedigree and find out if anyone in their family has long hair. Such as the grandpa or grandma. 2 short hair dachsunds had 4 puppies. 3 were short haired and one was long. Their next litter was 2:2 and their last litter was 2:2 again. The dads parents both had long hair.
If a puppy doesn't get pregnant her first time in heat then how long before she comes into heat again?
Dogs are typically in heat twice a year or roughly every six months. That said; you should not breed a puppy. Most people agree you should wait until at least the second or third heat cycle before breeding a dog. Only breed a dog if it is one of the best examples of the given breed. Anything less is only adding to the over population problem.
What breed of dog can handle being out in the heat?

What should you do if your kitten starts eating the cat litter?
This actually happens a lot with kittens. It doesnt really harm the kitten, but if you catch it doing that, you keep taking the cat out, and try your best just to keep an eye on them. There really is no way on stopping them, but its not going to harm them. Again... just keep an eye on them and make sure they are just in there to do their business

If her babies have died it meant that something went wrong. She should not breed again because the chance of her dying is very high. I would not breed her again.

When can you Breed your female dog after she has a litter?
Your bitch should not come into heat for about 4 months. As long as she had no problems having the current litter and is in good health/condition there should be no reason you could not breed her again. There are several trains of thought on this subject. 1. Uterus is a muscle and it is better to use it, so breed every heat and then retire your bitch early after 4-5 litters. 2. Breed for two heats and rest one heat. This routine can be continued until 4-5 litters have been born. 3. Breed only once a year or every other heat cycle. This allows the bitch's body to recuperate. You need to talk with your vet and see what they suggest since you will have to work closely with them for a happy healthy bitch and litter. If your dog requires a c-section you should give her a year off to heal from the surgery before trying to carry a litter. Also if the litter has pulled your bitch's weight way down you need to make sure she is in top shape before breeding her again.
How long before a female dog will go into heat again if she just had a litter?
Females go into heat every five to nine months. So five to nine months after her last heat she will go into heat. The litter should not affect her next heat cycle.
