Many things to consider prior to breeding. Lots of info on this forum to glean from. But, breeding to provide your daughter a pup, isn't the best reason to do so. As a person above stated stud fee is the cost of a pup, just buy your daughter a pup.

In the yorkie breed, breeding a smaller male to a larger female is a misnomer. It may ring true in other breeds but, not in the yorkie. Much more to breeding this breed than putting two dogs together.

Every 8 months for a yorkie female to come into Season is average and it has nothing to do with size. If one has studied the breed, breeding, whelping and breeding to improve the breed, one does not breed a female until 18 months of age or 2nd Season and she should be bred the first time before she turns 3. However, for every Season a female experiences without being bred you are putting her life in jeaporady.....mammary cancer, pyropmetria. I suggest you spay your girl.
