Need advice for yorkie proffesionals?

K so a while ago we received a yorkie from a friend. She had a already had a few litters of puppies. So after she had been here for a while she got pregnant from our other yorkie. We went to check on here every 20 minutes when it looked like she was about ready to have here puppies. One morning we went out to check on her and she had six puppies. Two of them were still born. We brought the other four and her up to the house. She did fine with them for about twenty four hours but during the second night she killed two of them. Thinking it was an accident we just kept a really close eye on her and her other two puppies, but she tried to kill them too. So we took them away and bottle feed them. We tried to give them back to her again but she kept on carrying them off and she didn't let any milk down. So now we are raising them. They are one week and two days. Does anyone have any ideas on how we can keep these precious puppies alive?

Update:

Please im only 14 I just wanted advice. The lady that gave them to us told us we were doing the right thing

Update 2:

And we have them in a heated shed and we had a heating pad in there. We brought them in as soon as they were born and the others would have died any way. We have someone helping us that knows what shes doing and she thought we were doing the right thing. And we love our dogs we would never want to do anything to hurt them. We all have to learn by our mistakes. Pleas no more hate. Our family already feels bad enough without all the hate. But the mother and the babies are doing fine they are very healthy.

Update 3:

o and we were going to bring her in to have her puppies but we didn't know that she was gonna have them so soon. She had them a little early.

    Read all you can on handrearing puppies, and then get this poor dog spayed.

    No way should she have had any more litters as 'a few' is all any dog should have. You've done no health screening on the poor little thing or your boy and just allowed them to mate. She has probably been bred back to back (each heat cycle) and is not fit and healthy enough to have had this litter.

    Furthermore ... she should never have been anywhere else but indoors to have the pups, not outside somewhere. You should of been with her continually during whelping in case she got into trouble.

    Back yard breeding disgusts me.

    Good effing job , because your dumb self decided to breed your dog without knowing what the heck youre doing you killed puppies, and are most likely going to kill these ones too.

    Spay the poor dog, and take those puppies to the spca. Idiot...
