I'm new to the yorkie breeding scene. I need to know HOW to tell when my female is ready to breed/mate (and any other signs you think I should know of first). Then once the male is introduced to the ready female, do I just leave them alone and let them go at it, or do I need to assist, and how many times do I have the male mate with her, hourly? daily? I not new to Yorkies but definately new to the breeding portion of this.
Also, How are stud fee figured out with regard to Yorkies? I have been told that I ask for money since there are not enough puppies? I charge stud fees whether it takes or not? I need help in this area too.

Thanks All! I'm talking my Gem to his first stud service later this afternoon. This came up all of a sudden, so any insights would be really appreciated. I will be reading all replies, but I probably won't write back until the evening or the next afternoon. Just don't want u to think I'm not appreciative or that I'm ignoring you.

Thanks ALL!!
