Most people are under the misconception that when breeding the male should be smaller than the female so because of that the breeders that are breeding small females will use an even smaller male. In my opinion, just breeding for extra small yorkies in not good. In the show ring you see very few show males that are under 4 lbs, truthfully I don't know if I have seen any that small. Most of your top winning yorkies are over 5 lbs. There is so much more to consider than size when breeding.
