I wanted to find an AKC boy in my area (st. johns/lansing, MI) to breed her with. I was just wondering what advice people were willing to share with me on this. This is my first time breeding a dog so I'm kind of nervous. I plan on doing my research on it and what I need in order to raise the puppies correctly. I have a reliable vet that Lexie already goes to and my other dog(Chihuahua). I really like this place and think they are the right vet for them. Any comments or help would be very appreciated thank you in advance!

Dear Tiffany,
I am sorry to tell you and know you have hopes - But your girl it too small to be bred. If we, experienced breeders, were not honest and something - which is a high risk due to her size alone and being a yorkie - happened to her we would feel so bad. Our job is to be honest, since you asked, and to inform you. I know sometimes things do not work out the way we want it to. I know you bought her and love her and would just love to have some of her pups bouncing around the house - But this cannot happen. She is just too small. The chances are you would loose her and then how would you feel especially knowing that we warned you.
Breeding her only once could kill her. If you really love her - just understand and accept it for her sake. Two words come to mind with your girl and her size - c-section and pop!
