What she says is NOT scientific fact.....did she produce any research papers.....with NUMBERS of successes and failures......no I have not seen any. You said before you wanted to see RESEARCH on the subject of tinies....but yet you are willing to take the word of a so called specialist with no research studies to point to. I have had a dam have a ruptured uterus on a 6 pound dog......it happens....how would you expect a "tiny dog" would not have this problem.....since genetics are NOT a guarantee....those pups will grow to whatever their genetic dispostiion is. I have friends who have experienced ruptured uterus. One of them had a surviving puppy in the intestinal cavity of the dam....he grew outside the uterus.....the dam ALMOST died.....and of course was spayed.
