Weight is just one thing to consider in breeding. Personally I see nothing wrong with breeding an 8 lb female if she is a good representative of the breed. I know many reputable breeders that breed females over 7 lbs. There are yorkies being shown and championed that are over 7 lbs. Being over 7 lbs is a fault, just like a bad top line, bad ear set, bad front or rear. You have to look at the overall structure of the dog. I have been told if a dog has 3 or more serious faults then it should not be bred or shown.
