Hello. This is my first time on the site. I have a 3 year old female yorkie that weighs 3.75lbs (just under 4lbs). I want to breed her just once or twice for some cute little puppies in the house and will plan to keep 1-2. However, I'm afraid she may be too small to breed. A friend told me that since she's so small - she could have alot of problems like only producing 1-2 pups, them being so small they may be sickly or die, or she may have delivery complications if the pups are too big. I do not want to jeapordize my yorkie's health at all - she's my little sweetheart. Is there a minimum/standard weight size of the mom to breed safely? I don't want to breed her for "a living" - just want 1-2 litters, then will spay her. If her size is safe to breed, do I have to make sure the stud is small too? I've heard it doesn't matter what size the parents are in producing small or big pups - it's all a luck of the draw. Is this true? Thanks!
