Welcome to Yorkie Talk. Many of us have joined YT after we made the mistake of buying a puppy mill pup or some other awful thing. We didn't know any better. The longer you are on YT the more you learn We will be here to help if we can. We are not beating you up, we are trying to share what we know. YT has a wonderful amount of information. Read the Breeders section threads.
Now my advice is: #1. You have already bred your Yorkies so that is that. #2. Experienced Yorkie Breeders would say bitches under 5 pounds should not be bred. It is too risky. So next time you will know better. #3. I used to breed and train Labs. Belive me when I say it is nothing like breeding toy dogs. #4. Try to find a local breeder of Yorkies that will help you during labor and delivery. #5. Ask local Yorkie breeder what Vet they use. It is a matter of life and death to have a Vet that really knows about small toy breeds.
That is my advice. Again, Welcome to YT.
