Oh wow that is not professional for a vet to state that a tiny girl like that should be bred at all and even more so to a 6 lb male making him twice her size. I highly suggest finding a GOOD vet and spaying her. If you are going to plan and have her have the puppies I would plan a csection and spay at that time. You will need the vet's home number in case she starts labor in the middle of the night OR you will need to take her to the ER. The ER here in Grand Rapids (approx 1/2 hour away from Holland) starts at $1,500 for a csection and I wouldn't want my girl to be csectioned at an ER vet. If you are interested I can give you the contact info to my personal vet who is also a reproduction specialist, but they are here in GR. They will go over tube feeding/bottle feedings if the puppies make it...depending on size and I bet they would have to be small with three of them I am guessing every 2 hour feedings and thats all night and day long.
