I have a dog and she is an Yorkie. She is not a teacup nor she's not a toy size. She's in between. She is going to be pregnet on August and then she will be getting babies in November. So should I let her do it at home or the vet ? Well if we do it at home please tell me why I should... Also will my dog do everything her self when she gets her babies? Does she really need our help?

Generally, dogs can do it themselves, but any dog can run into trouble, especially 1st time mothers. I raise Yorkies, and I have had to take a mother for a c-section a couple of times. Once for an oversize pup, once for a puppy coming out sideways. I never let my dogs do it alone, was the father smaller than your dog? Even if he was you can get a throwback, (an over sized puppy from generations ago.) How old is your dog? Is this her first litter? You should count weeks from first breeding, (9), take her temperature, when it drops below 100 she should deliver within
12 hours. If you need any more information you can e-mail me with questions @yahoo.com

If she's not pregnant yet, wait until you've done a little more research. Home breeding/deliveries can be dangerous, but especially with a small dog like a Yorkie.
Talk to a Yorkie breeder to find out more. Talk to your vet to make sure your dog is healthy enough to handle it and make sure you're prepared for any complications - have an emergency vet number handy.
Even though you didn't ask, my suggestion is to leave breeding to the pros.

You need to do some research on the web or buy a book about breeding Yorkies. Talking to the vet or going to the vet is also an excellent idea.

If you love your dog, take her to your vet and have him/her SPAY THE DOG!!! I don't hate breeders & I have several dogs that are all purebreds but if I wanted to breed them, I would read everything I could get my hands on about breeding and have a waiting list of buyers. You have no clue obviously and could hurt or even kill her.

Talk it over with your vet. They can give you an idea on what to expect and give your dog an exam to see if there may be any potential complications that would make it so you needed to plan to bring her in when her time to deliver comes.

Take her to a vet!
Most yorkies require CS! sorry to tell you that. one of the breeders below confirms this.
And reading up on how to deliver pups just won't do! You wouldn't trust a pregnant mom to a midwife who has never had prior experience would you? When your yorkie does deliver, be there, watch and learn!
Well, congrats and gudluck!

Not to be rude, but I think that you really do need to do some research before breeding your dog. I do not believe that you have the knowledge that you need to become a breeder. This is a long process and it takes hours of your time to care for them properly. Please educate yourself on this before you begin any type of breeding!

Generally, dogs are able to take car of themselves. You should sit by and make sure she is OK, but you don't need to take her to the vet to have puppies.

If you don't know the answers to these questions you should not be breeding her in the first place!
You should do it at home your dog will feel more comfortable there.
