There is more to weight than just the weight of the dad. It matters what is in his background. I would never personally consider breeding a 6.5 male to a 4.5 female no matter what's in the background. I would also be very careful in breeding a 4.5 female and have her checked by a vet to determine the width of her pelvis. I breed a 4 3/4 pound with no problems, but she is built for breeding with very wide hips. I breed her to a 3 pound 14 oz. male with only 3 and 4 pounders in his background. |
