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. |
I am not sure where you got your info but breeding to a larger male or smaller male won't make much difference. Breeding is risky period. A 3 1/2 lb Yorkie could very well throw big pups, you would have to know if he has been used before and whether or not he threw big pups.
Too late now, but I would be more concerned about whether or not the stud I used best matched the qualities of my female and whether the mating would contribute to improve the breed.
