Hi Kerri and welcome to YT!! Congratulations on the upcomg litter.
You have come to a great site for help for your mommy.
I am not a breeder but I am a Yorkie Fancier and I own four. I am very interested in breeding so i have been doing some research. I certainly do not know nearly as much as those who have actually whleped even one litter but I might be able to help by pointing you to some good info here and on the web.
This is a link to a site about dystocia (difficulties in delivery) and how to minimize the risk for your little girl starting now. As you are proabably aware small breed dogs have a higher than avberage risk for problems that other breeds so it is always best to be prepared.

As to your question about separating your female from your other dog there is a thread that was just started recently addressing this very question. Here is the link:

Good luck and please don't be afraid to ask any question on here as the member shere have a wealth of knowledge and info that you won't find in books.
Do you have a mentor? An experienced yorkie breeder who is going to help you whelp this first time ?
Let me know if you don't and I can help you find someone if you like.
