We have a 5.9 lb female. Brandy is 17 months old. We have been thinking about breeding her someday but want to be sure we are well informed before we make a decision. If we do decide to breed her it would not be for another year or more. I've been reading all the posts about breeding in the hopes of learning more. She's obviously not a tiny but not huge either. What do you experienced breeders think? Based on her size I was thinking it would be pretty reasonable to breed her with a smaller male. My vet thinks she is very fit and healthy but warned me that breeding her is a big deal and make sure I know what I am doing so any advice would be welcomed.

Thanks,

Dawn
