Question
how long are yorkshire terroirer pregnent for?


Answer
Nikki,

The gestation period is about 9 weeks.  Think of it in terms of one week for every month a human is pregnant.  You will want to make sure you have a bed ready for her to have her puppies in so that when the time comes you are not caught off guard.  It also helps because she will let you know when she is ready by rooting around in the bed to prepare for the puppies.  I hope this answers your question.  If you need to know anything else about what you need to prepare for the births please feel free to ask.

Sincerely,

Melinda
