On YorkieTalk and in talking with breeders I know, no reputable Yorkshire Terrier breeder recommends breeding a female under 5 lbs. I would be terrified to breed a little tiny thing like that, despite what any erstwhile vet might say. Deliberately breeding undersized dogs does not improve the breed in any way, rather has caused so much suffering, injury and early death due to tiny, undersized dogs born with a predisposition to many genetic problems, an extra anesthesia risk and easily injured.
