Default why must they be 5 pounds to breed?

I hate to bust in but i'm just curious here...

I keep reading that a female has to be 5 pounds to have a litter...what happens to them when they weigh less? can they die or something? what if they mate with a male puppy that is the same size or less than they are? does that help any?

I know my puppies parents were 4 pounds (mom) and 3 pounds (dad).. so it is possible.. however, she was the only puppy in the litter... is this typical of the smaller ones?
