This is such a good point and one I have mentioned more than once when we discuss weight. I always wonder why we don't use height and length and maybe width in a breeding situation, rather than weight. WE are always talking about weight instead of frame and frame would be more accurate.
If under 5 lbs is the definition of a
tiny then I think it is safe to say that we have learned that
it may be POSSIBLE to breed a tiny female under very limited and specifics circumstances. She has to have the right frame and the right pelvic width, she has to be bred to a smaller male and both dam and sires hereditary backgrounds should be all smaller yorkie to lessen the chance of a "throwback" or larger puppy. She also has to be sturdy, not frail and be a good eater as well as excellent health which goes without saying really and last, but certainly not least, she needs to be under the constant care of an experienced breeder and vet, hopefully a reproduction specialist.
This is logical and easily understandable by
most people.
