I wonder because even if you have a smaller male, couldn't he throw large puppies? Or if the male is smaller does that mean he does throw small pups?
the pups are just as cute... mom did a great job. |
To answer your question....
Many breeders say that female dogs will more likely need a c-section if a bigger male is used. This is one of the only times I have seen a bigger male used.
Many people believe that breeding a female as small as 3 lbs will definitely need a c-section.
Many vets say these factors are putting the dog's life at risk because many complications can arise. It is VERY risky to put a tiny under gas. Since it is so small, there is less room for error, so the vet has to be VERY good at their job. I have seen too many times where dogs don't wake up from the anesthesia on here. One person on YT who owns tinies doesn't even spade her dogs because she does not want to risk their lives by putting them under the anesthesia. It is also VERY scarey to have your dog go through that. BTW, A lot of breeders put spade contracts on their tiny females because they do not want them to breed.
I hope this answers all of your questions, I don't want to start a debate on here, but my question was never answered and I figured your's would not be either. YT is definately a place for learning! I apologize to the threadstarter for going a little bit off topic. Since the question was never answered, it did go off topic.
