Even though your girl free whelped for you using your stud, who is to say she will again with a different stud? For that matter, she could have problems whelping even with the same stud.

The bottom line is that you are offering (and pricing) an underweight 3 year old girl for breeding. The risks are higher in a small girl for pregnancy and whelping issues. At the least, it is more taxing on a smaller girl, which is itself a health concern. Anyone considering this girl must factor all that in.

My vet once recommended my breeding a 3 1/2 pound girl I had. No, thanks, but she was placed in a pet home. Just because a vet says it's okay doesn't make it a good idea.

You have very good looking dogs and I'm sure the little girl would make a great pet.
