Keep your baby safe and please don't subject her to the rigors and dangers of pregnancy and whelping with no more experience at it than you have, unless you have had years of experience with pregnant and whelping females, raising puppies and are an old-hand at all of the emergencies that could lie between you and a puppy. Some small dogs only have one very large puppy and it can rarely be delivered without vet help - so be prepared financially for a vet bill for this and other reasons. If you haven't had her tested in the 6+ tests I think it is for breeding qualities that will likely be passed on to her puppies, I wouldn't even consider breeding. Likewise, the male will have to have testing also. You don't want your pup/puppies to wind up loaded with genetically inherited problems that Yorkies can pass along so be sure you have done that before you go any further. But most of all, I just would not risk the health or life of my little Yorkie for a puppy. I would just select a reputable Yorkshire Terrier breeder who meets my strict criteria and buy from them and it will be far less risky for your baby and far cheaper in the long run. Though it won't be kin to your girl, I assure you, it will be just as sweet and you will love it just as much.
