You need to know more than what the two breeding dogs weigh. A two pound male could carry genes from an 8lb dog somewhere in his bloodline. Same goes for the female. Two tiny dogs can produce large puppies. Breeders do a lot of pedigree research before they breed. They know the size, temperment and health concerns of every dog in a pedigree. They don't just throw any two dogs together. Many of the great breeders have taken college genetics courses and/or attend seminars on genetics. Unless you have a mentor (someone very experienced in breeding toy dogs) and a vet willing to be on call 24/7, you would be putting your girl at great risk. Before breeding you also need to find a vet experienced in C-sections with toy dogs. A Bulldog breeder in my area recently lost 2 litters and a female b/c she didn't seek out an vet who was experienced with C-sections. |
