Hello and welcome to YorkieTalk. You posted on a thread that is about 10 years old so if you need help then please start a new thread.

Your story makes no sense. When a female comes in heat it usually takes 8 to 12 days before they would allow a male to breed them. The heat cycle lasts 3 weeks. Most likely if she was bred it was while she was in your care. Did you keep them separated for 3 weeks after you noticed she was in heat?

As for the mother to son breeding, it is impossible to know how it will turn out without knowing the bloodlines of both parents. Most likely the pups will be just fine but as with any breeding, you really never know.

All you can do at this point is get her to the vet and find someone to help you with whelping the puppies. Please let us know how it goes.
