I would never think of a yorkie getting preggo at 5 years old. My babies are done by that age or prior to..Far to much for a first time at this age. Having puppies just to keep one is not the right reason. Purchase one if you need a new puppy. Believe me with any problems at all it could very well cost you far more with vet bills on mommy and babies then purchasing a new puppy.
If you do not have the money to purchase a new puppy, then you do not have the money to take the chance on breeding especially one too old .. Hope this helps,,

First died first day, two on day two, third after 5 days and was left with a female that mom seemed very atached to. Realized she was not sucking much from mom and started feeding her for 2 weeks, all was well except mom was licking her tail, was raw, took to the vet and gave her antibiotics. I was scheduled to leave on vacation and my cousing conitnued feeding every three hours but after the third week seemed weak and not eating well. Emergency vet said she was dehydrated and was hydrocephalous. Puppy died two days later. I was nt here don't believe malformation, what could have happened? Is my girl too old to have puppies at 5 years old? I want to have some puppies because they're getting old. Should I have the other one get pregnant? Is she too old at 5 years old (first pregnancy) Could this have been the cause, her age? thanks, please answer soon.

You went on vacation after your girl had puppies?! Sick puppies??

When you breed a female, you put her first..that means you miss all sorts of things like vacations...a litter should be planned and when the bitch is due to whelp and at least for the 2 weeks after you should not leave home...and that is when you have another breeder to sit for you and care for your bitch like they would their own.

My best friend missed her 25TH anniverary party and many other functions due to litters...I missed years of my life...as many other dedicated breeders.
