IF you decide that the risk of breeding such a tiny female is worth it, please take your female to shows and have her evaluated. There are TOO MANY people breeding yorkies that do not fit the breed standard. Breeders should breed to better the breed, not because they think it would be "fun." Considering you do feel the risks are worth taking, you need to get a bile acids test, her knees/hip examined and certified as well as other tests which are ONLY a precaution, not a guarantee. You certainly don't want to be breeding for liver shunt, luxating patellas or Leggs-Perthe disease (among others).
