At least he checked into cost before doing this...

OP, that price is a bit high (for just a csection without hospitalization and such) but it is easily thousands. Some yorkies need them and some don't. Plan that they will just in case. Not even one litter should be had without testing the parents for problems they can pass on. That's hundreds to thousands right there.

Then you'll have to decide if she is a good example of the breed. If not, do you really want to breed? Why? If she dies (it happens) then the experience won't be so fun anymore... And if they have to be fed every couple hours throughout the night for weeks, who has to do that?

I think it's great that you are looking into this before doing it. Sounds like she should be spayed.
