Gotta love vet who never bred Yorkies/Toys...Dark places, alone works for strays and feral cats..not Yorkies. They need to be in a quiet area and not able to run under furniture. You need to be close at hand to offer assistance..a pup might be stuck, bitch might need help..two could come at the same time and you will need to open a sac..or the bitch might be slow to open a sac or severe a cord and need you..or you lose a pup...
When your girl starts to whelp, do not leave her alone for more then a few minutes..you will never regret being there, but will regret not being there if she needs help...best wishes
PS...If bitch contracts heavily...Heaving (lumpin up) she needs vet attention after an hour..those are serious contractions..I go two hrs with lesser contractions and no pups...30 mins with a bubble and no pup...
