First, let me tell you what a great community of folks you all are! What a truly blessed find for me!

I'll go ahead and launch into my question for those who prefer to get down to business and follow up with some background in case you're interested in hearing about my little brood:

Here's my question: We're having puppies any day now and when I had my girl in last Monday for the radiogram, the vet said, based on the skeletal development of the puppies that we were about a week out (which means she'll probably be early--not a full 63 days). It was likely, he said that one of the puppies would present breech--he told me it wasn't a problem, but after a "pseudopregnancy diagnosis" he gave me two weeks ago, I'm hesitant to rely on him as my SINGLE source of information. Some of the websites I've been able to find said this is normal and shouldn't be cause for alarm, some claim that it's a problem. Any experienced breeders out there who can advise me what to do if, in fact, the puppy comes breech?

And now, here's more about us and our decision to breed. I'm the very protective/proud papa of two adorable Yorkies we named Yoshi (Yoshi Robert when he's in trouble) and Daisy (Daisy Louise when likewise). (Photo attached). They're two years old and brother and sister from a litter of two. We wanted a female, but couldn't take Daisy away from the little "monkey boy". It was the best decision I've ever made. Being the bigger of the two, Daisy's always been protective of Yoshi and they've always been inseparable.

Long story short, we decided to breed Daisy as my grandmother is in love with her and wants a puppy desperately. So, I spent six months searching out all of the information I could find and decided it was pretty safe to proceed. (Daisy's normal weight is about 6.5lbs and her mom has successfully and easily whelped three litters since she was born.) I was even telling my vet what kinds of tests he needed to do at the pre-breeding visit. He LOVED that, let me tell you. Haha. Well, the breeding was successful and, after a little bubble where the relief vet told me she was having a "pseudopregnancy" that turned out to be a bad call (I felt puppies moving a week later and went back for another radiogram), everything appears to be progressing normally. Today is day 54, so we're getting close. The last radiogram shows two good sized puppies (but after some photoshop monkeying, I'm convinced there are three).

We've timed the drive to the vet at four minutes, I've memorized both the regular and emergency numbers, have a whelping kit on hand and everything is in order except for my frazzled nerves--I keep hoping I can stay calm and remember everything I've read when the time comes! My one concern is with the breech, so if anyone has any tips that I can keep in mind if it happens, I'd be most appreciative!

Thanks again for all of the great information you all contribute. Nervous, excited, expectant grandparents like me are deeply grateful!
