Pregnant Yorkie Questions

I did look up "teacup yorkie" and they are listed on many sites but I found a site that said

"If you are interested in purchasing a tiny Yorkie, sometimes called a Teacup,
Micro Mini, Teeny, or any other name that means “extra small”, there are
several things you should consider. The YTCA’s Code of Ethics precludes the
use of the words “teacup”, “tiny specialists”, doll faced, or similar terminology
by its members, and for good reason.
All breeders may occasionally have an unusually small Yorkie (hopefully healthy),
though no responsible breeder breeds for this trait. Many breeders prefer a
general weight range of 4-7 pounds believing that size retains desired Toy
qualities while maintaining optimum health. The Yorkie Standard states weight
"must not exceed seven pounds" and as a prospective pet owner you should
realize that even at 7 pounds, the Yorkie is still a small dog. "

So her weight is fine, but she is on the small end of the spectrum.

Her weight is fine, just not what one would want to take a chance breeding....statistically on an average not good for the lil ones.

I hope all goes well...


I feel bad for the "others" - living in a barn doesn't sound so good...

Maybe you can contact Yorkie Haven Rescue in TX and give them the info on the other Yorkies, maybe they can save them

Did I miss something?
Living in a barn?
Does this person have other small breed dogs/more Yorkies?
Is she selling them or giving them away?

Sorry for all the questions but there are lots of Michiganians here who may be able to help.

What are the signs of a false pregnancy as of right now she is only showing signs of being about 4 to 5 weeks along according to a chart that one of you the other nice ladies that replied to me with.

The folks that had her had to move from a 5 bedroom home to a 2 bedroom apartment and travel for work so they are rarely home. they had a women that would take them more than likely but they would be in a heated outside barn. And I am not exactly positive she would take all of them. There are two more.

This is where I read it

P.S. Silly me...I didn't realize this was Michigan - duh - why did I think TX...
Anyway, there are a lot of good people here and in rescue in MI that could help out the others..

She says in post #10 that the people who had this little girl before have two more yorkies to rehome. The woman who may be taking them will be keeping them outside in a heated barn. Please help if you can.

No worries. Thank you so much for all of your help. I am glad I found all you. I am kinda of a newbie when it comes to Yorkie's.

You'll find you'll fall so in love with the breed. But, when you breed, it will bring you to your knees.

Yes, I agree. They are not in the barn yet and its heated but really all that I feel is besides the point. How would they get them from Michigan to Texas?

I don't want to breed her, just love her and give her a good home, which I have accomplished. My family loves her already.

ok, so we took her temperture yesterday at about 1:00 and it was 98.1, took it again at 10:00 pm and it was 98.5. She is not showing ANY other signs of getting ready to give birth. No nesting, no pacing, panting... She is still really hungry, and seems to be sleeping no more than usual (although since she is new to us I can only compare to my other dog), no other signs that they list comes with right before she whelps.

She is not showing ANY signs of giving birth anytime soon. Her temp yesterday at 1:00 pm was 98.1 and at 10:00 pm 98.5. She is not nesting, restless, panting, nothing. She is sleeping next to me right now, eating a lot but otherwise nothing. She isn't going to the bathroom more than a dog that is not pregnant. It's kind of hard because I can't compare how she is normally because we just got her but again, I see no signs according to all the information I received from everybody.
