How old does a male puppy have to be to look for a female in heat?
E H asked:
I have two puppy yorkies a 9 month female and 6 month male. She just went into heat, he doesn’t seem interested in her, which is good. I plan to breed her at 24 months, not right now. Is he too puppy to be interested in her, he seem to be ignoring her while other dogs are barking at her, does that mean he is to puppy to be interested. Should I be seperating them. I am neutering him, but scheduled later in the month.

Separate them. Male dogs are sexually developed between 6 months and i think 9 i can’t remember the last one. and you don’t want to take the chance. I would separarte them. If she is breed now she will be more prone to ariritis and other bone related problems shes still a puppy. Yorkies are so cute

I think around 6 months I would worry to much unless they fight alot if they dont fit let them be but make sure one is spayed or ones nutered so you wont have to worry about babies unless you want them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think you’re male is just about ready. I would be very, very careful because your female is too young and needs to wait.

Just from what Ive heard if the male is lifting his leg , he can breed.
