I know that it's best to breed with a smaller male & have done a lot of research on breeding over the past year, wanting to breed her (which is partly why we got her a boyfriend & playmate, but he ended up bigger than we expected). Is it a waste now to keep them apart & even breed her with the 3.5 lb stud we were planning to use? Help! I want to do the right thing & don't want my little girl having complications. |
Breeding to a smaller male is a misnomer. You are more concerned on both the dog's line. Parents, grandparents. She may have concieved on the first breeding, so it would be wise not to breed her to the male you had picked. She could have complications with the smaller male, more to consider, how many pups she concieves.
