Is this your first whelping and do you have someone around to help you? You'll need an assistant as you'll be in poo hell when the pups are 7 weeks old. Those little buggers can run a person into the ground trying to keep the pen clean! Load up on the vitamins, your going to be a busy woman. You'll get support her but see if you can find a local mentor and make sure your bet takes emergency calls.

Thanks Tami for your wisdom for her, I was trying to get more info from her to help us here to help her. I thought that her Yorkies was a little old to be breeding, just wasn't sure and didn't want to say it without knowing, but you have said it now so I know.

I don't want to scare the new comers off here at YT but breeders do need more info to go on to help them.

And you of all people should know about the "Poop Hell" cracked me up when I read that. It is Poop Hell when you have 6 or 7 puppies all at the same time in the same playpen trying to keep clean and as fast as you put the newspaper down or puppy pads they tear them to shreads on you. Then you turn around and clean up again for they didn't hit the paper with their poo.

I don't think new comers fully understand what they are getting their selves into when it comes to breeding, it's not as easy as they think or read about. I do wish her luck tho.

How is your babies doing and Remi? Good I hope. Did you ever catch up on any rest? Did you post photos anywhere of all 4 of your babies? Lee
