After surfing just about every website I could find tonight, I finally came apon yours, where I had the option to ask my question burning holes into every book/information I ever read on the amount of puppies a Yorkie is expected to whelp. I wouldn't consider myself a breeder, but I did take my time, effort, research when I decided to buy my male (5 yrs ago) and female (2 yrs ago) Yorkie (Both KUSA).. and finally the 1st litter arrived a week ago. My baby girl was in labour for over 6 hours and had finally produced 10 babies (2 sets of twins!!), one didn't make it through the night - and now we are proud as punch of our 9.. Every literature I have ever read about Yorkies led me to believe that they only produced 1 - 4 puppies as the norm. My Vet and myself are astonished ofcourse and would like to know if anyone else has experienced similar high amounts of puppies per litter?? Any replies would be appreciated..thank you JAQI
