What age to stud a Yorkshire terrier?
anywhere between 1 and 6 years of age, because It is not right to allow the dog to breed again and again throughout its life and to neuter the dog once it reaches an age or around 7-8 years. This helps the dog to live more healthily as well as avoid the risk of aggression from other male dogs, as well as female dogs.
Will a hawk kill a 7 lb Yorkshire terrier?
I am thinking of rescuing a yorkie whose mama was an elderly woman who passed away. I had seen a hawk in the yard last month so I researched this... Sounds like it IS a definite possibility. Here are some links:

Your Yorkshire terrier is constipated what can you do to help relieve the symptoms?

Can a male yorkie poo mate with a female beagle?
In general, you should not allow any dog to breed with its dam or sire. Such close breeding can cause behavioral, conformational, and health issues. Basically, the genes of the puppies will be from a smaller pool, ultimately receiving 3/4 of their genes from the mother. Although you could have healthy puppies, the chances of problems arising are drastically increased because of the possibilities for these alleles to appear being multiplied.
Short answer, no, it really is NOT okay to allow a puppy to breed its mother.
What does a Teacup Yorkie look like?
Teacup Yorkies look just like regular Yorkies but smaller. However I would caution that the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America states "All breeders may occasionally have an unusually small Yorkie (hopefully healthy),
though no responsible breeder breeds for this trait. Many breeders prefer a
general weight range of 4-7 pounds believing that size retains desired Toy
qualities while maintaining optimum health" - So if you find a breeder advertising Teacup, Micro Mini, Teeny, doll faced, or similar terminology you may want to question the reputability of the breeder. ANY reputable breeder will not seek to reproduce traits that are a health risk to, or would aid to the decline in standards of the breed.
The YTCA also goes on to state "They are extremely susceptible to both hereditary and non-hereditary health problems, including birth defects that may go undetected for a long time. Other common problems may include, but are not limited to, diarrhea, vomiting, along with extra and expensive tests prior to routine teeth cleanings and surgeries."
From a groomers perspective (my own perspective) Yorkies NEED regular grooming, and are already quite small and delicate. The smaller they are the more difficult it is to safely groom them. If your groomer cannot safely groom your dog it may result in injury and trauma to the dog - which will lead to a never ending cycle of the dog resisting grooming, more injury and more trauma. So do not choose a groomer lightheartedly - your dog will need grooming it's entire life.
How big can Yorkshire terrier get?
