I would never think of a yorkie getting preggo at 5 years old. My babies are done by that age or prior to..Far to much for a first time at this age. Having puppies just to keep one is not the right reason. Purchase one if you need a new puppy. Believe me with any problems at all it could very well cost you far more with vet bills on mommy and babies then purchasing a new puppy.
If you do not have the money to purchase a new puppy, then you do not have the money to take the chance on breeding especially one too old .. Hope this helps,, |
