Courtney, what Mardelin has told you is correct. Vets are very helpful in health matters, but there are so many variables in different breeds, and all the books in the library can tell you only so much. Experience with breeding these little guys is imperative, having a mentor is invaluable. Mardelin is an experienced exhibitor, breeder, whose's mentor is one of the countries top Yorkie breeder and has been over 40 years. You can take their knowledge to the bank! You really need to check with your vet to see exactly what tests he/she did run. Has your female and the male been evaluated by either a long time show breeder/ handler or judge to assure they are breeding quality. I'm sorry, but I just get the feeling you have not really done all the research you should before deciding to do this. I'm not trying to be mean, I just want you to be informed. Please check some of the posts on here related to breeding, loss of puppies, and the loss of the mother, then see if the risk is really worth it. There are already too many poor little pet quality puppies flooding the market and know that if you do things the right way, there really is no money to be made. The consequences are just not worth it.
