At 4 lbs. you will be taking some pretty serious risks if you decide to breed your little Daisy. Even if you have a text book pregnancy and whelping, she is a very small girl and there isn't much room for error.

Since you are talking with a vet about the possibility of breeding her, I am going to assume that you have had her "vetted" and all of the normal pre-breeding tests done.

It is so much more involved than just finding a male smaller than Daisy. A small male can produce large pups and a larger male can produce smaller pups. Same is true for the female. So, you must look much deeper into the history of both the sire and dam and grandsire and dam and siblings of your female and the siblings of the prospective male.
