Its insane!).My vet explained that some people dont understand this and he has had people go in to his clinic with a tiny dog whos body is too small for the pups she has in her uterus.What could happen? The mothers uterus could "rip" towwards the end of the pregnancy or during birth causing her to bleed to death,the pregnacy could cause her to have seizurs,or her blood sugar could get seriously low causing her to go into a coma,the pups can practiaclly suck the life out of her,the birth will probably be by c-section which is major surgery for such a tiny body and of course could cause the death of the mother..etc etc etc.
These are just a few of the things that can go wrong when a tiny is bred but there are alot more...I know of these because these things above are things that my vet has actually experienced.
I think you are better off finding a good sized female and choosing the smallest pup in the litter.Its safer and kinder too...
I still think you should do some research on this subject though,you will see that what we are trying to explain is true



I comptetely agree! Please talk to someone who knows a lot about breeding and they will confirm everything that we are saying here.. I can't see any owner of a tiny little girl allowing her to get pregnant. It is just asking for trouble, and would be very selfish on their part. Please reconsider this, and look into getting with a standard size female. Good luck..
