Congrats and welcome. I wouldn’t breed because you don’t know the lines and such. I don’t want to offend you in anyway but I can tell that he didn’t come from the kind of breeder that the lines should be continued for several reasons. Reputable breeders make you sign and spay and neuter contract so your not messing with their lines that they have worked very hard for and they also require that the dog come back to them if the owner can not keep them. It also sounds like maybe this was a breeder that purposely breed for tiny pups. Also no reputable breeder would ask you to not only break the law but do something dangerous like not give a rabies vaccine. Also once you mate a male no mater what you do they mark everywhere. Breeding is very serious and not just putting dogs together. Humping is not necessarily a sexual thing but a dominant thing. Flipping him on his back is considered and alpha method and it has been significantly debunked and found to be more harmful. When he humps say no and just remove him. I get bordatella because mine get groomed and go to lots of pet events. Your vet is the best person to talk to because they know if things like Lyme or Lepto are a big problem in your area.
