I mean 4 lbs is pushing super high risk if you don't know what you are doing and even if you do know what your are doing it's dangerous. I would never condone breeding under 4 lbs nor would i ever buy a puppy that came from a mother under 4 lbs. JMO

And if the dam and grand dam are free whelpers, that's also a positive thing to look for.
