First "dinky do" I saw win her title was a Trivar bitch at 3 1/2 pounds...Golddigger..and he bred her..she free whelped two puppies each time...would I do it..no, I do not think so..
I have a friend here in Florida who shows small girls all the time...no where does the AKC regs say you HAVE to breed anything you show...lots of people show and never breed.
AS I recall, CH Rothby's Reputation was or is about 4 pounds...which is not all that small..a true 2 pounder..NO, I have never seen one that small shown...msot breeders do not even produce a two pounder. I have only had about 3 in 35 plus years. |
The average Yorkietalk reader seems to believe that the tiny is a new thing, and breeders are breeding them smaller and smaller. However, it seems like there have been some super small ones all along, and maybe breeders have learned the hard way that breeding females under 5 pounds, is very dangerous.
