You would want to breed a smaller male with a larger female. Even a small male should not be bred if he is a "runt" of a litter and has larger parents. And the standard for either yorkie is up to 7 lbs. So, I wouldn't breed one larger. The above is just a generalization and one of the reputable breeders on here could help you more. |
this is actually an incorrect statement. the male does not have to be smaller than the female.
