I have a pure bred yorkie and my sister has a male chihahua. We did our best to keep them seperated but unfortunately our actions failed and they mounted. This is totally an unwanted pregnancy and now I am completely stressed and don't know what to do. I heard about the morning after pill for dogs, but that has all types of wierd side effects; so that is out. I heard about dog abortions but I don't think I can go through with that for many reasons. The safest would be to let her have the pups, but I wanted to mate her with another yorkie before I got her spayed. Will having the yorkie-chihuahua puppies taint her future litter's purity?

Yes, she's ruined. Have her spayed right away.

No, it will have absolutely no effect on future breedings.
How old is your dog? No dog should have puppies before the age of 2 years, they are not physically nor mentally ready yet.
Why do you want to breed your dog when there are plenty of dogs in shelters already? Yes this includes small breeds too.
Your dog should meet the following requirements before being bred:
No less than two years old.
Proven she's of breeding quality by earning points toward a championship.
Tested free of all genetic problems known to the breed.
Dog breeding isn't as simple as sticking two dogs together and waiting for pups to hit the floor. Your dog has no "need" to have puppies.
Are you prepared for an emergency c-section should the need arrive? Are you willing to provide round the clock care for newborn pups if mom can't? Have you prepared yourself for the possibility of losing the entire litter, and possibly mom as well? Are you going to be responsible for the pups for the entire lives, not just the first 8 weeks? A good breeder would never let one of their pups end up in a shelter. They'd take the dog back no matter the age or the problem if someone was unable to keep it.
Best advice, have your dog spayed. Terminate the pregnancy and prevent any future ones.
By asking this question it shows that you know little to nothing about breeding dogs. You need to do more research, talk to reputable breeders, and learn before you ever even think about breeding your dog.
Your dog will be much healthier if you spay her now. With each heat cycle her chances of developing mammary cancer go up. Also spaying will prevent uterine cancer, and the possibility of her developing pyometra, a uterine infection that can be deadly if not treated promptly.
Trust me, your dog will be happier and healthier for it, and you won't be adding to pet overpopulation problem by having her spayed now.

I really can't believe that people still believe that old myth about a dog that is bred with a mix or another breed other then their own can't have purebred pups, That is totally false!!!
As for letting her go through pregnancy and whelping being safer then spaying that is also totally false. Toy breeds are at very high risk for complications during pregnancy and whelping.They have a high rate of emergency c-sections, infections, stillbirths, low/no milk, low blood sugar,low birthweight puppies, weak puppies, singleton litters, etc.
Also the longer your female is left intact the higher her risk becomes of mammary cancer, reproductive cancers and of a very serious often fatal uterine infection called pyometria. Also if she is under 2 years old and bred she stands a high risk of additional problems that are very serious.
Since you aren't familiar with even the basics of breeding and weren't even able to keep your female seperated from a male (who by the way should be neutered) you really shouldn't be considering breeding at all.
I'm not trying to be harsh, but rather to let you know the realities of the situation. I have to deal with picking up the pieces of irresponsible breeding every day as a vet tech and also in the past with rescue.

Just think about it this way: If a pure British female were to have a child with a pure Irish male (just throwing out random nationalities here), would the Irish male "affect" the British female and make them part Irish? And would it make the British female's future kids part Irish if it were with a different male? Of course not.
It's the same with dog's. Your yorkie will be just fine, and its future puppies will be pure yorkies ~.^

wow.... well having a litter with a chihuahua will not "taint" your yorkies purebred genes for herself, her half chihuahua/yorkie puppies are the ones who will not be "pure". you know there is alot of care involving breeding dogs, if you are irresposible enough to let her get pregnant by another dog, you shouldnt be breeding. get her spayed after she has this litter, she should have never been bred, there is more to having puppies than you realize. Like i always say LEAVE THE BREEDING TO THE PROFESSIONALS. there are many unhealthy results to unplanned pregnancies

No it wont dont worry. I know alot of breeders who mate 2 different breeds just to make money! It will be a good experience ecspecially if you intened to breed from her anyway. The hardest part is finding loving homes and letting them go at the end! But i shouldnt see a problem alot of people like the "designer dog". I wish i could have one:) But if the mum doesnt take to this litter get her neurtured asap!

Just because the pup's are mixed doesn't mean that the mixing will effect the mother as well. You inherit down not up. For example you can have your mothers smile, she cannot have yours. Hope that settles your fears.

Get the poor dogs fixed. If you can't keep them apart, what makes you think that they won't mate again??

it shouldn't be an issue. it's her genetics that's being passed down. Her having previous mixed pups shouldn't have anything to do with it.
