I would not buy from a breeder that used dams that small. Under 5 lbs is extremely risky. Even though your puppy is from the larger dam, he still breeds that tiny girl. Poor thing. I have a recent addition to our family, Bindi, who is a backyard breeder rescue. She is fat now, and I have no idea of her weight, but she is 1" shorter than Toto (who is almost 5 lbs), 2" shorter than Uni (who is about 7 lbs). At her ideal weight she should be in the 4 lb range. I could never imagine her being bred at her size. Yet she was bred again and again, until she was too old, and her "owners" didn't want her anymore. I can't image one smaller than Bindi being bred. That just sickens me.
