  If you are planning to breed Yorkies, the first thing is to be sure that you have a female who is healthy enough to be bred. Unfortunately, Yorkies are prone to different genetic diseases which include luxating patellas, hydrocephalus, and hypoglycemia. It is recommended that you have a vet take a look at your female for any genetic defects. You should only breed your female if she is perfectly fit and healthy.

  You need to prepare a small whelping box with heating pads and clean blankets weeks before your female is due. The upcoming babies will be vulnerable to harsh whether so a heating pad is vital. It is important that you place the female in the whelming box, so that she feels comfortable and wants to give birth there. If she is not acclimatised to the box, she will not want to give birth there.
