If I were you, I might get a second opinion from a vet who is recommended by respected, reputable Yorkshire Terrier breeder. Since becoming a member here, I have learned that many vets have told members here that breeding very small bitches, etc., is acceptable, whereas the expert, reputable breeders of longstanding with an excellent reputation in breeding the Yorkie say that breeding a female smaller than 5 lbs. is definitely far too risky to consider, even if the stud is smaller than the female. What if the stud in this case had an 8 lb. father and 9 lb. mother and most of the pups are quite big? Not all vets have a lot of experience with pregnancy/whelping of very small dogs. And you need one with a great deal of experience and wisdom in that area.

Since your dog's life could very well be at risk either way, a second opinion by a vet highly experienced in working with reputable Yorkshire Terrier breeders caring for their precious breeding females is maybe the best way to go at this point. If you don't know of such a vet, you might contact the most highly respected Yorkie show breeders in your area for a vet reference or maybe some here will have suggestions.

I will certainly be praying for your little girl and hoping that she is going to come through this experience safely either way you choose for her to go.
