Thanks so much! I will be sticking around  |
hello prissy's mom,
i debated about breeding milu and keeping the puppies as well when she was 7 months old (spay time). i posted in the breeders section and emailed some breeders to get more information. and most of the feedback i got was not to breed because of her small size.
my vet actually didn't think she was too small to breed. just said that maybe need c-section. and less room for anything to go wrong.
i ended up deciding to spay her because i didn't want to take any risks. a breeder told me about taking the mom to the emergency room because complication with labor and ended up losing the mom and the whole litter!!!! hearing that is what convinced me not to take the risk.
some other people will have diff. opinions of course. my neighbor wants to breed her 3lb maltese, and i said to her 'way to small!' and neighbor said that the mom was 3lbs and had 2 litters no problems...so she feels that it's fine...(i would be too scared if everything was not fine...)
another deciding factor for me was that some people told me that the doggie's temperament changes after they have puppies. so i also didn't want that to happen.
i wish you good luck with your baby girl. i really hope she isnt' pregnant. (you can write a list of all your questions regarding breeding her,so you can make sure to cover them when you go see your vet)
and you can also read the advice i got from the breeders about spaying or breeding a small yorkie:
