I have lots of reading too do. Feel free to throw any advice at me lol.

I'll post pics this week )
I hope you read the link I provided.

Breeding your little female because you want to provide a puppy to your grown daughter, isn't a good enough reason to breed her.

If you aren't able to watch them 100% of the time, seperate them when you can't. But, your statement brings up another aspect of breeding. You will have to give up a minimum of 12 - 13 weeks of your life. You're whole life; day and night will have to be devoted to the care of the mother and the pups. This would begin at a week before her due date and not ending until those pups are placed with their forever families.

The cost of pretesting alone is expensive. Let alone setting aside money for a possible emergency and the required vetting of the pups. You'll need deep pockets. Much less expensive to go buy your daughter another yorkie.
