 Breeding tinies
Most of my breeding females are 5-7 lbs.. My Trianna is the exception to that, she weigh 4.6 lbs.. She will be two this coming March and I will breed her after that.. I always have complete examines done on all my yorkies.. Trianna might be on the smaller side, but she has a wider pelvic opening then two of my 6 1/2 lb. girls! Trianna comes from excellent free whelping lines and I do not believe there will be a problem, if I did I would NEVER breed her..
I personally do NOT believe a female under 4 lbs. should ever be bred for any reason! If a breeder does their homework and they know the lines they are breeding and they are NOT breeding for tinies, that is not what I refer to as someone being irresponsible with a dogs life.. It is the breeders that are breeding for tiny so called teacup, toys or minis that are being irresponsible! WHENEVER someone breeds a dog they are taking that dogs life into their own hands and I do NOT care what the size of the dog is! There have been many yorkie breeders with female over 5-6 lbs. and they also have been devasted by the end result!
I always tell everyone NEVER purchase a yorkie from someone that advertises or refers to their dogs/puppies as teacups, toys or minis!
It all goes back to being educated and making the proper choices for your dog and NOT your bank account!
