i have always strayed away from breeding small...which i thought the ones i have at 6-7lbs were small..=)
i have a female purchased for breeding AKC, very nice looking parents very nice looking female.
she had the broken leg back this summer..she is healed and at 6 months i assume she is too small for breeding.
the vet said 2 months ago she is 4lbs..i said where?? legs and ears???
she is very tiny framed..but im wondering if the size of breeding is 5lbs+ and say her small frame makes it to 5- 5.5lbs, am i taking to big of a risk to breed her? even if i found a male smaller then her? i know there are risk any time..but im looking for experience with female at the 5lbs mark.
is it possible to "fatten" her up..lol she has long legs small waist and large ears, button nose..just adorable..ill be disappointed if she is not breed-able but i have already accepted the fact she isnt and she will remain our little feet warmer
the other thing that worries me is her mother had a c - section with her litter but not with previous litters.
i also plan to visit the vet and speak to him on all the above..but looking for other "views" from experience
Thanks
