Hi Olive and welcome to YT...you can learn a lot here so don't be discouraged...people are very passionate about the breed and some can tend to come off a little "rough around the edges".
I would definitely get back with the breeder you got her from...if she's ethical and an experienced breeder, maybe you can use her as a mentor. There are many genetic tests, etc. that need to be done before you breed but first, you should now her exact weight as she is now. Has she had any vet visits since you've had her...they should have told you her weight or put it on her records which they usually provide to you.

Needless to say, and as many have mentioned in previous posts, there is a LOT of research that should be done before proceeding.

Good Luck in whatever you decide to do. I wish you the best!

Is this her breeders website? Yorkshire Terrier - Yorkie Puppies For Sale Denver Colorado


If so everyone is chewing her out for saying her female is a teacup. On the website of the breeder she bought from the breeder says that her yorkies are

Teacups up to $2500.00 Micro Teacup up to $3500.00.

So if she has no knowledge of the breed and the breeder she bought from told her that her puppy was a teacup then I guess that is why she thought her female was a teacup.

My mentor taught me to stick my thumb in the groove of the pelvic bone. If it fits in easily and you have a little wiggle room, she should be able to have normal sized puppies ok. If it contours to your thumb or you can't get your thumb in there at all, you probably shouldn't do it.



Can you explain this to me a little more, not quite getting it.

Thanks.

the word teacup is a swear word around here.. breeding a dog under 4 lbs
may kill the dog.. especially if bred with a larger stud.. lots of teacups are actually just malnourished puppies...most people dont know this... very small dogs are high risk for injuries due to size.. they are cute, but they must be special needs dogs.. 5 lbs is a size they say you can consider breeding.. under 5 lbs, the female should be a pet only and spayed.. i think that is the consensus among most good breeders.. i would be afraid to own a tiny... you can kill it by kicking or stepping on them by accident. 5-7 lbs is a good size in my opinion..

I would not breed her if she is just over 4 lbs. I think that's too small. I have a male who is 4 1/2 lbs., and if he were female, I couldn't even imagine him having puppies! He's very tiny. I hope you will reconsider after reading the replies here.

You turn your dog on it's back. You put you finger on their lower tummy. Right above their "strawberry" as my hubby calls it if your finger fits flat between the two pelvic bones with some space on each side they are usually wide enough to carry babies. Just keep in mind just because they can have babies doesn't mean they should. My Malt is 4lbs and I found her way to small to even think about breeding her. God forbid if I lose her during birthing I wouldn't know what to do with myself.

I use to breed Rottweilers and even though they are much larger dogs I have lost a couple of pups in the litters and it is heartbreaking.

Welcome to Yt!

It's highly reccomended that your yorkie female be over 5 lbs to breed her. You could be taking big risk if you breed a tiny yorkie. I'm sure you love her and you don't want to risk her life.

Did you buy her to breed her? If the answer is yes, then you should have done more research before you bought her. If the answer is no, then please do not breed her at 4lbs.
