Thank you for your response. I do understand that there is much more to breeding than just weight. I just thought that I remembered reading that a Yorkie should be 5+ lbs to breed. I do like the little ones, but not TOO little that it is unhealthy for them. The best interest should always be in favour of the Yorkie.
