If I were you, I'd do the research somewhere other than a public forum. Contact multiple vets and other reputable breeders. Unfortunately, in a pubic forum, you are going to get a ton of opinions and personal experiences that aren't generally what you are looking for. If this is something you want to do, just know that there are all of the same risks in having puppies as there are with having a baby yourself. (I'm sure you know that.) Sadly, as much as I want to love this forum because I am a yorkie lover and keep trying to find the good posts, I've not seen much "love" to new comers with different wants/views.
Stick to the "fluff" posts about clothing and potty training.
