There is more than size to consider when breeding. But, when considering size you must know both sides of each dog's pedigree backward and forward. Not only the dogs within the pedigree but, siblings too. What they have produced.

Breeding a girl under 5 pounds for a girl is considered risky. Should she concieve a litter of more than 3, is there room enough for her to carry them to term. Hence the risk of losing the litter and possibly the female..

Your girl size will most assuredly result in a C-Section, but why would you knowingly put a female through such an ordeal, just because you have the money to take care of it. The health and welfare of your female should be your number one concern.

I strongly suggest you begin to attend breeding and genetic classes, and do some extensive research before you consider breeding. There is some information in the YT Library......

Again, more to breeding than just putting two dogs together.
