It could be, but in the past there have been several that have come on here with the same situation at hand. Their little one may have not been this small but, same scenario "My Lil One Might be pregnant".

A few have stayed and taken all the advise given to them, other's have not taken the advise and ended up in tragedy.

To the OP -- you have been given some solid life saving advice from several of our well-respected, very knowledgeable breeders. I hope that you take their advice to heart and take your little one to the vet immediately to schedule a spay.

You're right Mary. We can't assume that every time someone comes on here with one post that they're trying to start drama - otherwise, the few (or even one) that really need the help won't get it. Please try to give people the benefit of the doubt until there's reason to believe otherwise.

Speaking for myself - I came on here looking for information because I'd never owned a toy breed. So I was able to sit back and read. At least the OP came on here looking for advice - better late than never. I know some of the questions people ask "get old" but it's not to the newcomer.

To the original poster.... PLEASE take your girl in and have the puppies aborted right away - every day that you delay makes it worse for your little one. I think you already know in your heart that she isn't going to be able to have these - they're just too large - it really could kill her.

I hope you come back and continue to read throughout the threads - there is so much important information here that even your vet probably isn't aware of. There are very experienced breeders and people that have been raising Yorkies for years - here. Don't be afraid to ask - anything.

Good Luck and PLEASE let us know how your little girl is.

This is very scary! I have already seen a post nearly identical to this just a few minutes ago. I hope both these little girls make it okay. Best wishes to all and please spay!

Good luck ladies with this one.

My thoughts exactly!!! I'm fostering a 16 pound Shi-Tzu (female) right now, and there is no way that weight could be supported on a 2 1/2 pound dog. Shi-Tzu's have short legs, and cannot stand upright over the other dog. Then even IF they managed, it would tear the tiny dog's insides up. Who in their right mind would even leave a little dog that's coming in heat with ANYONE!!! Sorry, I don't buy this persons story at all!

[Woogie Man]

I try not to blow off posts....even those that are suspicious, for the dog's sake. This one, however, just reeks. The OP came on and posted once and nothing since. That, in spite of several replies within just a few minutes. Looks like 'drive-by posting' to me and I'm staying away from this one.

[Zeus08]

If that is what it was a "drive-by posting" that is just pure evil. So many caring people on here willing to help. I guess you just never know if someone is being honest or not. I still keep the faith that most are honest because I would hate to dismiss the real thing.

[BamaFan121s]

I'm inclined to think (and hope) that this is a joke...just someone here to stir up trouble. There are so many problems with the post, from the dogs age, to weight, to the size of the male, etc that SURELY it can't be 'for real.'

[clm56]

~OP...please listen to everybody about spaying if your on the up and up.... even my 4 lb'r is spayed.

[YorkieRose]

Joke or not, I really doubt a 16 pound male could accomplish a breeding with a Yorkie so tiny. Possible, but very unlikely..

Sadly, I do not think that all these posts are fake. Unfortunaetly, there are MANY uneducated and irresponsible owners out there. I really hope the OP comes on and takes the good advice that has been given. Also, for the OP $4,000 for her and also not sold on limited tells me that she came from a person only interested in the $$. I paid $2500 for my Brooklyn. She's about the same size as your girl, BUT her breeder sold her on a Limited Registration which meant she could not be bred. Bad breeders, will up the price astronomically for a tiny, teacup, micro, mini, pocket pup (some of the terms they like to use) just to make a buck and they could give a rats butt what you do with the dog after it's sold. BELIEVE US she is too small to breed. I really hope you do the right thing. Also, like you I'm in NJ. Not too far from you. I'd love to know where she came from, you can PM me and I won't share the information. As another New Jersian, I'd just like to know out of curiosity so I can see if it's anyone I've heard of.

Yes you are probably right Elaine. I paid 1200.00 for Kizzie 4 years ago with full registration. She was supposed to be 6 pounds. I knew at 10 months she was never going to be anywhere near that.

Because I am a responsible person/owner/breeder, I had her spayed as soon as she hit 2 pounds at 10 months BEFORE her first heat. She is now 4 and 3 1/2 pounds. I love her to death..

Do you know how hard it is to find a female that is going to be large enough to breed? It is very frustrating because everywhere I look all I see is these tiny little girls.

I believe Gracie and Pennie might be large enough because of their weight's now. Pennie is 5 months old and is over 3 pounds and Gracie is 10 months and is over 4 pounds. So hopefully by the time they are 2 they will be filled out more and large enough. If not, oh well I guess. I know they sure aren't big enough now.

The breeder's I got them from breed "normal" sized females and males. Both Pennie's parents are 6 pounds. I do not have a male yet and don't really want to get one until I know if mine will be large enough.

The breeder I got Gracie from has a very nice stud for sale who is 4 1/2 pounds and is 2 years old. Proven, DNA done and other tests as well, champion sired and champion lines. $1000.00 for him, I would love to get him. But keep telling myself to wait...lol

I have a 4 1/2 month old yorkie baby that is 1.2 lbs...if she made it to 2lbs or whatever your dog weights I would never breed her unless I wanted to kill her.

THAT is a death sentence for your small baby. If you care about her spay her and keep her as a pet...abort this pregnancy. Especially since the other dog is like 100x her size that is pure craziness.

Others who breed to get smaller yorkies know what they are doing and have been doing this for years upon years. This is an area where you cannot just jump in and think of mating a 2lb dog to get a 2lb baby. Just doesn't work that way. Much more is involved.

......same here. I tend to believe most of these kinds of posts. Too many people seeing $$ signs with small breeds these days. Which is why we see soooo many sick puppies and people with broken hearts. I noticed it's always an accident or someone elses fault when these tiny ones end up pregnant way way too young too.

YorkieRose - I hope what you said is true and maybe it IS bait. I didn't know it may not be physically possible - but in the dog world - I would think a male would find a way no ?
