I agree with Ashley. Its a lot of work and if your not prepared it can be a huge surprise. If your family really wants a yorkie why not try some rescues? There are plenty of yorkies needing homes and you won't be putting your Jorja's health at risk.
The health risks with breeding are high and is very expensive after health testing, tail docking, puppy shots etc. I'm glad you are taking the time to inform yourself. I would do a search on cancer in dogs too. Not having them spayed/nuetered increases that risk. Also sometimes the mother will not make it through giving birth.. So just think is Jorja or having puppies more important? I was like you once and wanted to breed my girl just to have puppies to give to family but I educated myself and decided the risks are not worth it. Leave it to the breeders who put their entire effort into it. They are educated and want to improve the breed.
Good Luck on whatever you decide..
