How do you know if your dog is pregnant? How many puppies would a teacup yorkie have?

I really need help, can anyone help me out? I have a female teacup yorkie. We think shes pregnant, but we dont know how to tell for sure. We have a male dog, and theyve been mating, but have stopped. . .How many puppies can a teacup dog have?

1. u know if her breasts r bigger....but to be sure take her to a vet...i'm not too sure on how many puppies those kind of dogs can have
2. What is a teacup Yorkie there is no such thing according to the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America http://ytca.org/faq.html#A http://www.yorkshire-terrier.com/faq.htm You really need to fix your dogs if you are using such terminology. Also, if you now nothing about what the dog will produce or whether its pregnant or not it signifies backyard breeder. A test to see if you should be breeding these dogs. http://hometown.aol.com/gelet1447/Breeding.htm
3. Average litter for a Yorkshire terrier is 4 puppies. the soonest way to tell if she is pregnant, is to measure her girth at the last small rib, the week that she is mated, and again 21 days later..If there is any gain in that measurement, she is pregnant. A vet can tell at 31 days. If she and the male are both between 2 and 6 years old, and of proper weight, she is likely pregnant, if they 'tied' (became stuck together)
4. You should know if it is pregnant because their nipples get bigger, and then later on their stomach will grow to. Also you can tell if she starts getting cranky and if her appetite has increased, but to be real sure you should take it to a vet. On the amount of puppies she should have I'm not sure, but if it is almost the size of a Chihuahua she should have about 4. That's how much mine had. More information in the link.
5. I guess the only way to know for sure is take your dog to the vet for an X-ray They do this all the time but it can be expensive, but it is safe to assume if you SAW your pets mate, well the chances are shes pregnent. the rule is kinda like this evrytime they "do it" thats, a pup! (intill they max out) but your problem to be consernd about is that shes a "tea cup" aka; a really tiny dog and they can not hold alot of pups to many can harm them or worse......... A normal sized yorkie or chihuahua can only hold like 1 to 5/6(max pups) at the same time you dont want her to only have 1 because the 1 pup would grow to big in her and that could be danerous as well! I dont know if this was to much help, but good luck!
