I am on the side of this....I do not think it is bad to breed one smaller than 5 pounds. In every breeding we take risks no matter what the size is. If you indeed know if your dam is healthy enough to breed and you or your vet do not see any risks then by all means do it. But of course if there are risks do not do it.
About going from 35 pounds down to the sizes they are today, I am sure there were risks but it happened and things did not seem to work out for the worst here because if they did we would not have these loving fur babies that we have now. If indeed it was such a hugh risk to come down to where we are now then there would not be yorkies now. And if indeed it is a big risk to breed ones under 5 pounds then why are there smaller ones here now. Because through science all things are possible.
I would never risk the life of one of my fur babies and I do not breed just to get the tiny ones. I breed because I love the breed of these dogs and want others to be as happy as I am. I breed to better the breed not to make it worst.
