He locked on and it was pretty distressing for my family as we had no intention to breed and at the time thought she was too young! We think she is pregnant now as looking into it she seemed to be in the correct breeding time, as she kept backing up at my neutered yorkie and mounting him. We have decided that if she does have puppies (which is most likely) we will keep them in the family, as my sisters have their own homes and would like one each, and my parents would like 1 or 2 depending on how many she has. She is 7lbs and the male is quite a bit smaller than her. My question is can anyone tell me what color the puppies are likely to be? We are really curious but I dont understand all the genetics stuff, I have had a look! Pixie is the yorkie tan color all over, with the odd stray dark grey hair down the middle of her back but really not noticable unless up close. Her dad was a chihuahua but I have little info on him other than he was tiny and her mum was a larger type of yorkie. Next doors dog looks really similar to her, he is a chihuahua x maltese! They apparently payed a fortune for him which is in my opinion stupid since he is a crossbreed and it encourages cross breeding! Anyway that aside, he is also tan all over, with more of a white undercoat type thing and white on his chest. Can anyone tell me what color the pups are likely to be? Like would 50% turn out full yorkie color since they are both half yorkie? Thanks in advance for any help! I'd just like to point out this breeding wasn't intentional and I am going to make sure we do everything we can to make her safe and comfortable. I'm pretty scared though! 
Thanks,
Sarah

The possibility of any having the look of a yorkie is probably next to nill.
I would suggest that you begin obtaining any information on whelping, gathering your equipment and medical supplies. Contact your vet and make sure that the vet will be available to you 7x24. Also prepare yourself finacially for a c-section. Start your search for someone that is available to you to assist in the whelp. Contacting a local kennel club may be a place you can start in finding someone that is experienced in toy breeds.
Oh! first and foremost, get your girl to the vet and have her examined, an ultra sound would inform you if your girl has enough room to carry to term and of course whelp these pups naturally.
Good Luck.
