| Congrats on the new baby. Three pounds is too small to breed. Since yours is the runt it may even be smaller

| I don't have a yorkie.. or a silky.. but i heard that they should be a little bit bigger but I have also heard of breeding when they are only 3 pounds but you have to be careful because she might be too small to give birth naturally

| It is too dangerous for a small mother to go through a pregnancy. They almost always have to have a c section and you would be putting her life at risk

There is no way to control how many pups are in a litter. There are many risks that go along with breeding. If she does end up being only 3 pounds, I'd be very hesistant to breed her. Congrats on getting your little girl. Where did you find her?

| It is ppossible that if you overfeed her she would be oover three lbs but she would still have a small frame. It is really not worth it. Someone on here just had to have her yorkie have a c section and she had to come up with $2000 cash before they would do the operation. A couple of her puppies died and one is not doing so good. All because her Husband had to leave to go get that money and come back
