The sire does not always have to be smaller than the dam. It's important to know the lines that the dogs come from, the size of most of them, what size puppies they typically throw, and if the dams have been free-whelpers or have needed c-sections. From what I've read from experienced breeders on here, there's a lot more to it than size of the sire and dam alone. But 2.9lbs is too small to be having a litter period!
