Hi Jameson. Welcome to YT. I'm not a breeder but I have read quite a bit and spend a lot of time on here learning. There is a lot to consider when breeding. I'm sure your little guy is beautiful etc. but there is a lot more to breeding then just looks and temperment. You have to look ALL the way back into his lineage. You have to be certain that there is no liver shunt, heart problems etc. or other genetic defects that can be passed on to his off spring. A reputable breeder ALWAYS looks to improve the breed. Also with regards to your question about size. A reputable breeder won't breed a female under 5 or 5.5 pounds AND the male should always be smaller. You can probably have a lot of your questions answered under the breeder forum. I wish you and your baby the best. Elaine
