[QUOTE=Lizzie07;3497251]I'm just now reading all this, and I'm sorry the whole thing is happening. From what I have read, I thought that when breeding most small dogs, the male is usually smaller than the female to try to avoid problems. Not just with the delivery, but for the mother's health during the pregnancy itself. Also, is the point of an xray to determine if the mother can deliver the puppies safely? What about being able to carry them safely to term?
This isn't a personal issue for me, so I am not emotionally invested like you are, but I don't think anyone was being nasty or mean in their posts, at least, I didn't read any that way.
I think you have the advantage now of being a member of this forum and there is a ton of information for you to read and prepare for the puppies and delivery. Research and learn everything you can about dogs whelping and all the signs of trouble a dog can have with delivery. It might help with the stress you are feeling over this. Also, I am sure there are members on this forum who are willing to help you when the time comes.
I wish you and your baby well and really hope you don't take anything anyone says badly, I don't think it was meant that way. Everyone really cares about Bee and just want to know she is okay.[/QUOTE]
The above highlighted is definately a misnomer in the yorkie breed. The mother controls the size of the pup while in utero. That is if it is a yorkie to yorkie breeding. Now in this case the yorkie was bred to a much larger breed, the pups will be larger, no ands, ifs or buts.
In your statement of YT members being there to help with the whelp. Two thoughts on that. The OP came on asking for expert advice it was given, and I don't think the OP liked the advice. That being said, I'm not so sure assistance will be readily given with someone that is not receptive to advice.
