Spaying or Neutering your Yorkie

We require that your puppy is spayed by the age of 18 months old. It also eliminates the possibility of pyometra (a potentially fatal infection of the uterus). Along with these dangers, your dog will lose the desire to wander in search of a partner. This reduces the chances of it fleeing and/or getting hit by a car. They will be less likely to catch communicable illnesses and will engage in fewer conflcts. We do recommend letting your female go through their first heat cycle prior to spaying. We have linked some artiicles that support this.
