I think it is to each person what they and their vet think about breeding. Not everyone is right and not everyone is wrong.
I have come to learn on here that there is a very STRONG problem with having yorkies to breed under 5 pounds. But all because they smaller ones are more fragile does not in my opinion mean not to breed them if everything else is well with them. I know several breeders all over the United States that do breed the ones under 5 pounds, but that does not mean they have to have a c-section, as a matter of fact none of mine under 5 pounds have had to have a c-section, but in fact my larger female who was 6 pounds at the time of breeding had to have a c-section.
So all I would say and it is not just from the size I breed but the size of many many breeders I have spoken to and know, is that at any given point at any size a yorkie could possibly have to have a c-section for one reason or another.
I enjoy reading the threads on here and all though so are bias with their opinions does not mean that I am not going to be on here anymore. You see this should be if it is not a place for everyone to come and talk and not get downed by others for what they believe. Who made the rules here on what is right and what is wrong?

All because someone may have been breeding longer than I have does not mean they know everything nor does it mean by far that I know it all. I think we can all learn from each other on here.
Different opinions is what makes the world go round. Lets just not slame each other in the process of hearing others opinions.
