Have you asked either one if they have actually whelped a litter of Yorkies before? Will they be available no matter the time of day or night? Do you know the signs of labor or distress in your girl?
Time is getting short and I hope you have done all you can to research and prepare for what is to come. Even a problem free whelp can turn into a disaster if one doesn't know what they are doing. I don't know if you've seen this before, but here's a link with some good info that will let you know what you need to prepare and what to expect when whelping time comes.
