Ya know, I gotta ask...why would any reputable breeder have placed such a small girl with you and allowed her to go on open registration so that she could be bred--I would think to protect her based on her size alone. Was she not placed w/ an s/n agreement? :confused: |

Second: I talked with THREE Vets. 2 who specializes in small dogs. and THREE Breeders and they all said that she would be ok with her size. Do none of you ever have small females breed????? Third: I did not do this with out any information. I have read many books and read this section on YT. I have a breeder close by to help me with details also. I just thought I'd get information from you all also. So thank you for you time and advice. I will watch her close. And take extra care with her and the pups. But I'm excited and will enjoy the pups. Thank you again, Dawn |
[And also Read your post before hitting the send key.[/COLOR][/I][/B I read what I typed before I hit the send key and I meant what I said LOL...I don't mean to pick on your post please forgive me my "anger" is not directed at you but to the orignal poster because how can she defend this breeder for allowing her to breed a 9 month old puppy to a 7 month old puppy? Yes I'm angry because it's WRONG and not breeding responsibly! The 7 month old male I hope is not viable with his sperm as another poster pointed out. UGH this thread disgusts me!

Yes start counting from their 1st tie. You will find TONS of information on the Debbie Jensen website. She even has a calendar where you can plug in the date and it will give you a day by day break down on what to expect. Here is the link http://www.debbiejensen.com/date.html I have always got xrays. I get them to see how big the pups are and to see how many to expect. Good luck to you and your expecting babies! Just wanted to ask...was there a reason for breeding her at 9 months old? I just asking because I know a breeder who knows another breeder who has bred on 1st heats and I was just curious why. My Macey was 9 or 10 months old her 1st heat and I just couldn't picture her a mommy :) She was such a baby herself (sometimes still is!):p LOL Well, Good luck with everything and please keep us posted! |

Yes the Debbie Jensen site is a great help. It shows that the pups should be here Feb. 15th. Thank you for your prays and thoughts. Dawn |
Please just keep us posted on her progress. I saw a thread recently where someone did basically the same thing and that that bitch lost her baby. I pray this won't happen to you. It is still possible that she is not pregnant because they usually don't start showing until around 5 weeks, depending on how many puppies they are carrying. If she is pregnant you will start feeling movement about a week before she is due. Good luck. |
Lots have bred small females..But not 3lbs and a pup them selves.. My friend has a maltese that we used our male on she is a little over 7 pounds. My male is 3 1/2 lbs and she had a hell of a time and ended up with a section and lost all pups but 1. The pup was 4 ounces and the rest were about the same.(there was 6 in the litter) The malteses momma was 5 pounds and dad was 5 1/2.(Came from a great breeder)So why the big pups???? My male is 3 1/2 pounds and his folks were 5 and 6.So size does not matter. Just goes to show ya that a tiny girl bred to a tiny male with tiny parents DOES not always produce tiny babies.. I honestly cannot see a vet saying it is okay to breed a pup .No matter how big she is.Momma size does not say okay I am tiny and a pup still so my pups are going to be tiny as well.What ever vet told ya that I would like to speak to myself and ask a few questions?I really would be willing to call and ask?????? WE all get excited for pups and cannot wait to see what we get,so I am hopefull your experiance is not ruined by heartache.. Best of Luck. |
I am sorry did not mean why the big pups,but why the problems with delivery and lossing them when they were only 4 ounces..So ya never know what is going to come out! |
Hi I first & foremost want to wish you good luck with Lacie's pregnancy & whelping. I myself would never want to breed one so small; not because it's right or wrong, but because it would just be to scary for me. I've read of some small dogs being bred and they do fine. The choice is YOURS. I do highly recommend an xray being done in the last week of pregnancy for any breeding female, but even more so for your small girl, to see how many pups to expect and to see their size so as to be prepared if a C-section is needed. Please keep us posted on her progress...you may be having a litter of little Valentines!:) |
Im going to keep my mouth shut cause I have nothing nice to say right now. However Im going to say I hope that poor puppy survives such a big ordeal such as having pups. |
I dont have any answers for you but I just wanted to say good luck on her pregnancy and congrats on the babies and hope delivery goes smoothly for momma and babies :) |

Good point....But limited registration doesn't prevent breeding--it only prevents the resulting litter from being registered. Same with a spay/neuter contract. People breed unregistered/unregisterable dogs all the time. While I totally agree with everyone posting that this bitch should not have been bred....the ease of delivery is not so much dependent on the weight of the dog, but more upon the pelvic structure. You can have a 7 lb. bitch with a very small pelvis who will always have trouble.....and a 4 lb. with a large pelvis (large in relation to her body) who may not have any trouble at all. I am not at all saying this to condone breeding this small baby. Even if (and that's a BIG IF) size had nothing to do with it, she's too young......just trying to think positively now that it has been done. |
