No controversy, but, someone else said. The female is too small to breed.
With that said, your question should be answered by your a vet and not asked on an open forum. Any bitch should be taken in to the vets, have all her preliminary tests and a complete thorough examination breeding or rebreeding. A reputable breeder would make the decision based on the vets recommendation. Of course the vet should be one that is familiar with toy breeds. Even better would have her examined by an reproduction vet.
