It is not unusual for virgin females to yelp when penetrated. There are several things that could cause this:
1. She could be scared.
2. She may not be ready to be breed, the vulva gets softer and more flexible when the bitch is ready to be bred.
3. She could be to small to breed or she may have an obstruction.
Was she examined by a vet to determine if she was big enough to breed? You can't just go by weight, some females are to small in the vulva area to be bred.
Yorkies need assistance when being bred. I always hold the female while the male mounts her so she won't jerk away when the male penetrates her. There is a lot more to breeding yorkies than just putting a male and female together. Having a litter could be risky for the mom so you need to make sure she is suitable for breeding and make sure you are ready to handle all the responsibility that goes with raising a litter of pups.
