Lots have bred small females..But not 3lbs and a pup them selves..
My friend has a maltese that we used our male on she is a little over 7 pounds.
My male is 3 1/2 lbs and she had a hell of a time and ended up with a section and lost all pups but 1. The pup was 4 ounces and the rest were about the same.(there was 6 in the litter) The malteses momma was 5 pounds and dad was 5 1/2.(Came from a great breeder)So why the big pups????
My male is 3 1/2 pounds and his folks were 5 and 6.So size does not matter.
Just goes to show ya that a tiny girl bred to a tiny male with tiny parents DOES not always produce tiny babies..
I honestly cannot see a vet saying it is okay to breed a pup .No matter how big she is.Momma size does not say okay I am tiny and a pup still so my pups are going to be tiny as well.What ever vet told ya that I would like to speak to myself and ask a few questions?I really would be willing to call and ask??????
WE all get excited for pups and cannot wait to see what we get,so I am hopefull your experiance is not ruined by heartache..
Best of Luck.
