I honestly would not recommend breeding your female, esspecially if you're not experienced about. You have to know what to look for in an emergency. There is a alot more to having a litter than you would expect. You should be saving money now because she would more than likely need a c-section, which will cost between $500-1200. You also need to buy lots of supplies for the mother and her puppies including special food. Being that small you are risking her life. Could you deal with it if something were to happen to her that could have been prevented. Please think hard about what happened to Peanut who is bigger than your females. Peanut's mom said that the male was smaller, it doesn't matter because the parents or grandparents could have been bigger. Good luck with whatever you decide.
