You make very good points. I do not think it is safe at all to breed 3 pound females. That is just too little! I don't know of any vets that would give their approval of breeding that small. If someone jumped to the defense of someone doing that on YT, it surprises me. Maybe they did not know the whole story? Maybe the person had 3 pounders that she kepts as pets and did not use for breeding? Just looking at possible reasons why anyone would come to the defense of someone breeding a 3 pounder.
Breeding any toy dog is dangerous enough. I can tell you that all too well. We recently lost our female (6-6/5 lbs) after she gave birth to a beautiful litter. It really was a wake up call to how much of a risk we take each time we breed. Someone has to take the risk or we would run out of our adorable Yorkies. But the breeders I respect (and there are several here on YT) do NOT condone breeding 3 pound females! |
