Spay her and she won't look for a mate at all and my bet she only does that when in season. I am not sure where how or why you paid that much for a pet but just try breeding. $3000 for a pup would likely be cheaper trust me on that one.
You have to know if there is trouble in whelping, when to get a vet, where to find one in the middle of a weekend night or worse, holiday weekend, know what to do if she does free whelp so you don't end up losing pups and potentially her anyway. Do you know about low calcium issues in nursing moms or hypoglycemia, how to wean what to watch for in pups? Most emerg vets have at least $160 office visit fee right off the bat, everything is added on with the estimate which you prepay before they will start anything.
None of this is for the feint of heart, the inexperienced without someone close by with tons of experience. Not many vets know about whelping bitches especially Yorkies. They know C section and can do that but that's about it. If funds are tight you cant afford to try it. One C section depending on where you are can run $1500 and up. They won't touch her without you pay first not pay later.
