6 lbs is a SMALL dog.
The reason why most dogs have health issues, is that people are breeding dogs together that should not be. A responsible breeder will breed healthy and genetic free dogs, they don't just put male and a female together. They research their breeding lines to ensure the pups will be healthy and free from genetic defects.
Just because your Vet says the dogs are healthy and breedable doesn't mean they are. Do you know everything about the dogs lines and background???? You could be passing along defects that are not only painful for the pup but also for the new owners. I hope you both research and reconsider before you step into something major like bringing new life into this world.
