Can someone clarify for me what size (both male and female) is OK for breeding? I have NO interest in breeding, I'm just curious. I thought the female had to be 5 lbs, and the male it didn't matter. Now I'm wondering if a 4 lb female is actually OK, and if the male is suppose to be a certain size too. It's all so confusing. 
One more thing, this is just my opinion but....I don't think there is anything wrong with breeding tiny yorkies if it is done safely. Some of us do prefer the little ones.  |
There is more to breeding a male and female than just weight, it's a bit more complex than that......But, no 4 pounds is not ok to breed. Most reputable breeders prefer that their females be between 5 1/2 and 7 pounds. Breeding yorkies is not for the faint at heart. It comes with a whole set of problems, so why buy more by breeding small.
