I'm no breeder and I don't ever in my life plan on becoming one, but even *I* know that is too small a dog. I did research on breeding in order to continue my search for a possible adequate breeder (since rescues haven't been coming through, although now I may know the cause of that...) and even I understood that breeding a pup that small is too risky and unhealthy. I wanted such info so that I could *avoid* buying from people who have poor breeding practices, and someone who endangers the lives of her mum and pups certainly falls into the category of poor breeding practices.
If someone who isn't ever planning on becoming a breeder can thoroughly read the stickies and other threads in this section... certainly someone who is *planning* on breeding should at the very least skim for important points for crying out loud! In reality, they should be reading it *more* thoroughly than some random non-breeder like me... yeesh. :/
Ignoring research, anyone can plainly see that those pups are too large in comparison to the mum. The first thing I thought when I looked at them was, " Awww pups! So cute!" I am an animal lover after all...but that was quickly followed up by, "Wow, those pups are basically the same size as other breeds of pups I've seen... omg they look so big in relation to the mom!"
You would not have passed my breeder questionnaire. Breeding this little girl in the first place disqualified you on question 1.
