You will find some very strong strick breeders who won't breed anything but traditional and have strong opinions about it and some that do. You can do a search on yt and see the many heated topics about Parti's and tail docking lol |
She did what I did with bulldogs, bred smaller males to bigger females. They were all small but I don't think it was to an unhealthy point. The dam of this litter was about 6lbs pre-pregnancy. Sire was 5. I didn't ask about the weights of her other females but to my eye, one was about the same as the dam of this litter and her retired female was a little larger. All looked miniscule to my eye considering I've only owned bulldogs & pugs, and always considered my pugs to be tiny. Have a friend with a yorkie thats like huge. At least 12lbs. So considering thats one of the only ones I've ever met, these were itty bitty to me.
