Hopefully, your girl will not have any complications during whelping, but in case, keep your emergency vet numbers on hand.

Just because she's on the smaller side and you bred her with a smaller male does not mean that she's going to have small pups. Do you know what is behind both dogs in their lineage? Since all yorkies were bred down from larger dogs means that they can have throw backs but it seems as though you're on the right track!

Hold off another week and I'm sure you'll be able to tell by then.

I remember reading in a book that the average yorkie litter is 2-4 pups. On average, Gracie will whelp 3 pups and London has only had one litter of 2.

Good luck!
Do you know how big of a litter Gracie came from and London? Lily came from a litter of 5 pups.

Lily is 29 days today(if she is pregnant). How far along was Gracie when you or the vet was able to determine that she was pregnant?
