It would definitely be risky and could end up costing you a lot of money. In the long run it would be cheaper if your friends went to your breeder and bought a puppy from the same parents.

Your girl will only contribute half of the DNA, so there is no guarantee that her puppies would be anything like her.

Being that small she could very easily require a C section, costing a lot of molney, she mighty only have one or two babies, but the cost would be the same as if she had 4 or 5.

Most dogs that require C sections srehject their babies, requring you to have to hand feed them at least every 2 hours day and night, and if they are tiny even more than that.

Hand feeding them is very risky because they can aspirate and get pneumonia, thus incurring more medical costs and then they might still die.

Is it worth it?
