Part of being a mentor is being hands on. Is your breeder going to come sit with you while your little girl actually whelps? You need someone who can intervene immediately if there is a problem. 5 hours is far too long to wait for someone to get there. I'm not sure about the availability of emergency vets in Spain, but if they are available, would you feel comfortable knowing the signs of distress in your girl? Also, there are regional differences in vet care. What is the norm for things like xrays and whelping supplies and after care here may not be the same there. Is there a Yorkie Breed club in Spain? Have you tried to contact them? They might be able to point you in the direction of someone who is closer to you who is willing to help you, also.
