Heat and fertility question - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hope I picked the right forum for this question. My female is in heat and first day of bleeding was 2/22. This Saturday, 3/11 will the the 18th day of her heat cycle. I need to leave town Saturday morning and will be returning on Sunday evening 3/12. I'm wondering if at that point she and my male will still need to be seperated. My mother usually babysits for me at her house and will not be able to keep them seperated. I don't want to leave them home alone if they can't be together to keep each other company. If they still need to be seperated at that point my only other option is to leave one with my Mom and bring one with me. I'm really hoping to just leave them both with Mom for the one night. Any thoughts?

I would keep them seperated until at least 21 days...some females will accept a male at 18 days and even later, bring your mom a baby gate to keep one contained or a crate and rotate their time in and out. Its better to be safe than sorry!

They climb those gates or will jump over them. I'd do the crate suggestion.

I say keep them separated. Do whatever you have to so you can prevent an OOPS! breeding. One of my Biewers was impregnated on the 17th day of her heat cycle..
