[MI Yorkielover]

I faced a similar issue once with our yorkie "Baby' when she was four years old. My mother in law had a yorkie and wanted them to mate and have puppies. I didn't want to breed her, period. Besides that I didn't want to breed Baby with her dog because I didn't think he was healthy, breed standard and I thought he was too big anyway. Baby was 5 lbs and her yorkie Paco was almost 10 lbs. We both had the same vet so I asked him for a good reason to tell her no without offending her about the quality of her dog. He agreed with me and told me her yorkie was too big and Baby might be seriously injured or even die. As it turned out her yorkie died early because it did turn out to have health issues. If your puppy is larger than hers then it's not a good idea for them to breed either. Her pup may be at risk,too.
