Well, I don't think her weight had anything to do with her delivery. After all do woman have c-sections just because they are tiny or overweight? She passed her first pup even breech with no problems, it was just that she quit laboring and I'm not sure as to why, it may be because she was nervous or had to much attention drawn to her....I'm not sure. Everyone has there theory on neutering there female after a c-section, in my opinion if that was the case then I simply wouldn't breed her again. I would look for another female.
She weighed 3.25lbs but has the body of a 4 to 4.5lb female, she has a longer cavity for carrying pups and since her delivery actually she has filled out over her loin and hips and now has put on that extra 1 or so. She needed to mature and has done so quite well.
The fact that I also did breed her to a small male who produces smaller pups, he's typicall was 3.5lbs but weighs in at about 4.25lbs. Weight and size of the body go hand and hand, I'm not saying you breed a 8lb'er to a 3lb female but you have to be proportionate in body comparisons.
My male is shorter in height and length and is perfect for her being she is a bit taller and longer than him. I will breed them again, but not for awhile being I didn't intend to breed that often to begin with. They made beautiful babies and I'm sure the gal that bought them both is going to greatly enjoy these beautiful little girls....maybe I can post pics of them.
