New at this......Hello

[cbrownfish]

Hello I am new at this breeding. I have a yorkie that is 3 years old and have bred her with a 2.5 pound yorkie (keep in mind that my yorkie is 8.5 puunds) last year and it did take. But this year we just did it on 10-09-05 and 10-10-05 and still am not sure that it worked this time. She is getting a little bigger in her ribs, they don't stick out. What else can I do to see if she is going to have puppies. I know that going to the Vet right now will not do anything, becasue if she is going to have puppies then are not do for 30 more days.

Then I was tlaking to a student that works in a vet and tells me that a yorkie haveing 4 puppies is alote. What is the most puppies that a yorkie can have??
Can't seem to find this online.

The whelping kit, I would like to go out and buy this, but can't find all the stuff that I need. I did go on ebay and get one, but we dont want to talk about that.
What is the best stuff that I would need that I can find myself.

I am happy to be here and hope that you all can help me out.
Courtney
