I may be one of the few here who has no problem using a larger male then female...I have used several 6 and 7 pound champions and not found the pups any larger at birth then using my tiny males. I have bred 5 pound females to 7 pound males with no problem..I have also bred 3 pound males to 7 pound females and needed a section due to oversized pup or pups.

You are going to be hard pressed to find a variety of tiny champion males at stud...I do not have to use a champion each time, but the pedigree does need to be bumped up on a regular basis. IMO

Why breed a tiny female in the first place? The world is full of wonderful pet owners who want pups at least 5 or more pounds.
