That's something that I didn't even think of. Thanks.

I totally agree...I might be wrong but this would have been the smallest adult yorkie in the world if I am not mistaken...What did the vet say about his weight? It should have been a hugh concern to any vet who looked at a dog this size. I am surprised the vet would even had neutered him at this weight and frankly I would be leary of the vet who did not question his weight.

I am thinking LS only because of the weight but since you did not do a neocropy you will never know but to bred your little girl again just seems to be in your interest and not hers or any puppies she might have and this is cruel to me.

Wow I didnt realize Max was that tiny. I definitely wouldnt breed her.

JMO, I cant believe Max was that small! You amaze me Cindy. I wish you would listen, really listen, everyone just cares.

Wow, i didn't know Max was that tiny. considering that Misty is small, only had one TINY TINY puppy, and that that tiny tiny puppy was only 1.5lbs at adult weight, plus died during anesthesia, i would never breed Misty again. i agree with the others. some underlying problem might have caused max to pass during surgery and that underlying problem was probably passed on from his parents. i wouldn't breed misty because if she does have something she can pass it on to more pups and you don't need anymore problems.
