To warn you in advance... I'm no expert. But I am pretty sure that I read somewhere on yt that a very reputable breeder on here breeds her females that she likes to be in the 5-5.5 range to males in the same range maybe slightly smaller. From what I have read, a weight of 5 lbs and up to 7 is a good weight for females. Most people say that any female under 5 lbs is not suitable for breeding. Sounds like males could be slightly smaller (maybe 4lbs?) but no more than 7 either. So you wouldn't want to breed a 4lb female to a 5.5 male but maybe a 5.5 female would be fine. Also, I would warn you that from what I have read, since your boy is only 8 months, I have read that sometimes they will have a growth spurt so he might wind up being even bigger than 5.5. Again, I'm no expert but have been doing research myself and I have a female who is only 18 weeks but I expect her to be 5-5.5 lbs full grown and have thought about breeding as well. I'm still doing a lot of research and not really sure if this will be for me and of course, she's not really even old enough to be sure she is "up to snuff" as far as breeding goes but I would probably be looking for a male in the 4.5-5lb range if it were me. Good Luck!! Theresa
