Just for your future information. A breeding female should always bigger then the breeding male.
This female weighed 1.60 KGS = a bit over 3 1/2 pounds,
male weighed 2.0 KGS=4 1/2 pounds
1-Now a pound may not mean much to us, as humans, but when breeding toy breeds and using a female
only weighing 3 1/2 pounds makes a big difference and possible reason only one puppy was produced, that breeder is lucky she did not lose her female with that one big puppy.
2- It is not safe breeding a female under 5 pounds or 2.268 KGS.
