i haven't actually ever just come out and ask her if if there's any truth in not breeding females under 5 lbs. i would actually be embarressed for her to think i was interested in attempting that. i just think nature speaks for itself concerning that and i just wouldnt want to risk the life of a girl that was tiny. i know alot of people do it and i say to each their own although i would be to afraid to try anything so risky. i love little yorkies. i will admit that. but i've been able to produce a couple little tiny one's with a 5 1/2 lb girl bred to a 4 lb boy. the next time i'm in her office, i will make a point to mention the subject to her and assure her it's not something i'm going to attempt but just a general question that i have and i'll post what she says about it...thanks.
