It sounds like you have a separate building for your yorkies if you breed and that is just not good. Yorkies are the kind of dogs that have to be around people. Mine actually gets sick if she does not spend enough human time. Also the moms need to be watched very very well when they are going to whelp because one thing could go wrong and the female could die or the puppies could die or both. Puppies should also be raised around people so they know people and are not afraid of them. An outbuilding is just not right for this kind of dog or any probably. To make sure your able to offer individual attention to each litter you really don't want to have more then one due at the same time. I personally would never ever buy from a breeder who did not raise the puppies in the house as well as the parents. Breeding is a lot of work you can't breed the female every heat, you can't breed a female under 5 pounds, you need to do genetic and health testing on the dogs you want to breed, you need to know the lines you are breeding to make sure there is no Luxating Patella or other problems in them, you have to be prepared to really not make any money and maybe even lose money, be prepared for emergency c-sections, care for mom and pups, keep the pups until 12 weeks, dock the tails, only breed dogs that fit the standard, know any signs that could mean your female needs vet help, I hear stud dogs mark every where, you need to have a mentor who has done this before, make sure you have a good health guarantee, you need to make sure you are using the AKC, you should also look at the yorkie parent club which is The Yorkshire Terrier Club of America and be following all there rules and you might lose pups but you also have to remember you might lose the mother too. Pregnancy has its risks with humans and animals.
