Breeding a smaller male to a larger female in the yorkie breed is a misnomer. But, to expand on that, there is much more to consider......how familiar are you with the lines on these dogs, are they closely line bred? And, I'm sure you already have done this: but, have they both had all the required testing done on them.....bile acids, hips & knees x-rayed., ears, eyes, heart checked. Blood work up and checked for sexually transmitted dseases? Have you had an ultrasound done on the female to insure that she can carry a larger litter and free whelp them?
