Sorry, if it's a silly question. I admit to being ignorant in this. I've never bred an animal and have no intention of ever doing it. In fact, my pup has a vet appt for last puppy shots tomorrow and we will be discussing spaying
We are now getting into breeding 101. And a breeding class would need to be taught.

Again, breeding a smaller male to a larger female is a misnomer....more to consider that just that....one must know a dog's pedigree inside and out before mating the two .... It isn't always the female that is larger.

But, think about it if you're breeding a yorkie to dachsund, poodle, schnauzer...you are breeding a mutt (and nothing mean about it)......
