She is about 3.2 lbs I think. She has been breeding. Will I know if she is pregnant, if so, how?

The most surefire way to determine your doggy's "condition" is to take her to a vet and while your there for the safety of your dog i suggest you get her spayed if it isnt too late .
you havent done your research and you will face many problems
3.2 lbs is way to small for a breeding dog she should be at least 5 lbs. having puppies may kill her.
there are 600 yorkies for available on petfinder.com many of which are puppies.

the only way to be sure is to wait until she is about 4 weeeks along and take her to teh vets for an ultrasound.
I tried to go slightly cheaper and have the vet palpate and was told she was prego but she had a false pregnancy.
Ultrasound is the best as they can also tell how they are forming. I'm sorry and not to lecture but it isn't the safest to breed sucha small dog and there is a good chance she would be better off with a scheduled c-section.
I know at least on said about the size of the male but it's not just the male that was used for breeding but the background of that male ( ha may be a runt and the others come from a larger breeding) this can be deadly for both the female and or the pups this is why it's important that you have her checked by a vet. Again I don't mean to lecture but thought you should know this fact.
Good Luck

I will not lecture you, enough people will do that for me. I will just try to answer your question...
First off, how large was the dog she mated with? If the dog is quite a bit larger than she is, you need to contact a vet right away or you are in danger of losing your Yorkie.
If they are relatively the same size, write down the date of breeding. Count ahead 57-63 days. That is when she will be due. With Yorkies, they usually began to show (belly extended, nipples darkening) at about day 47.

when you don't even know the very basics of breeding - you shouldn't be doing it!
if the male was larger than she is - it will probably kill her.
do you have a couple thousand dollars put away for health care during the pregnancy & after whelping?
you know at that size she is going to need a C-section!
get her spayed.

take her to the vet for an emercengy spay NOW.
at 3.2 lbs it is HIGHLY dangerous for her to become and carry the puppies to term, let alone the extreem risk of her dying while trying to deliver, NO female under 5lbs shoudl EVERY be bred, tis unsafe and unhealthy...
if you love your dog, take her now to the vet, liek this minute and have them perform an emergency spay! you are 100% willingly risking her life! and its extreemly likley that you will not only loose the female during the birthing process but all her puppies too!

If you love your Yorkie, for heaven sakes learn about the breed before you put her at risk! That breaks my heart for your dog

Your little one is much too small to be bred. The best thing you can do for her is to have her spayed now. You will likely lose both her and the pups if you allow the pregnancy to continue.

Your female is too small for breeding, she'll run into complications. Please have her spayed. If you don't I'm willing to bet she'll need a c-section, this might even kill her. I raise Yorkies, all of my bitches weigh between 5 to 6 LBS.

Take her to the vet and talk to him or her about the best care you can give her.

Why do people have to be SO MEAN? she didn't ask to be judged, if you forgot take a look above.
Well anyways you will know if she is pregnant because her vulva will be slightly swollen after their heat ends, her nipples will be more pronounced and hard,you will notice a big change in her temperament. She may get quieter or lazy or maybe just loving, 4-2 weeks later after breeding they may experience morning sickness it can last for a week or so. Give her saltine crackers before she gets out of bed or where ever you keep her.
HOPED I HELPED! Goodluck
