| Please advice on my girl Hello, I am looking for feedback. My little girl just turned 6 this month. I want to breed her. I would like a puppy for her. I waited since I thought that she needed to be older than 5... My friend says she will be ok. After doing research and looking online it is suggested for 2-5 etc... latest being 7 years. This will be her first and only litter. As mentioned she just turned 6 this month. She weights 4.5 lbs. The little guy I'm thinking of is 5 lbs. Any suggestions? The vet says she's healthy etc etc and it can be a 50/50 chance of C section. Would any of pro experienced breeder tell me what you think? Thank you. I really want one of her puppies for her to have company etc. She's never had any health problems, she's very healthy and loves to play a lot. |

| I think is would be easier, cheaper & especially safer to buy a playmate for her if you want her to have company. I am not a breeder, but I have heard it is dangerous to breed a dog under 5#'s. I have read many horror stories of people loosing their pup during/after whelping. I would think very carefully before taking that risk. Good luck whatever you decide.

| Thank you Sorry she's 4.7 or so in weight close to 5 if that helps. Also what is a good weight age? I'm wondering and I'm learning so much. |

| You might want to post your question in the breeder section. There are many knowledgeable breeders who could better answer your questions.

| She is to old and to small. If you really truly love her just get her fixed and buy another puppy. Breeding her could put her life at risk especially being older and smaller. Not having her fixed the older she gets is also putting her at risk the older she gets for serious infections that could kill her. You also risk her not accepting the pups and then you have to feed them every two hours, stimulate them to poo, clean them, keep them warm and everything the mother dog does.
