I agree with Brittie123...it takes a lot to properly breed animals, period. And i also think they have to be good example of the standard...also there is sooo many things to know about the genetics of their ancestors (it all counts). All the risks that was listed with breeding, it is true, in my opnion. About that size, for what i know, most breeder have studs that are smaller than the females.
Just as a little note...my own dog, Mojo, he is 7lbs, his mom is 5lbs and his dad barely 4lbs...my friend bought a puppy from the same litter and he is a little more than 3lbs...all the other puppies (it was a litter of 5) didn't gow bigger than 5lbs. His size is due to a bigger dog in his background a few generations back (don;t forget that many many years ago, yorkies were much bigger than the ones we see today) so there is always the risk of the puppies being too big... |
