| Is it possible... I went to a Petsmart yesterday and there was this couple there that had a yorkie pup. I have two of my own and have done my share of research on yorkies. Anyway, I asked about his pup and he said she was 12wks old and not going to get any more bigger because her mom was only 2LBs. I gave him this weird look, but I was hesitant to tell him becuase I was not sure if i would offend him or not. But isnt it true, that it's not possible to breed a 2lb female because there is a possibilty that they cannot handle giving birth because of their size? |

| Someone with more experience I am sure will give a better answer - but if a dog goes into heat she CAN get pregnant. Now as far as should she that is a totally different story!! I know that any girl under five pounds has a very difficult time with not only delivery but pregnancy as well, I can't even imagine a two pounder getting pregnant!! And can't think of anyone who would think that this was a good idea!!!! Don't know if that helps at all, I know there are a lot of threads about breeding tinies and how dangerous it is. |

| I highly doubt that the mother was 2 pounds. And I hate to break it to him, but that doesn't mean his dog won't get bigger! At 12 weeks old he will double in size yet. Tucker is nearly 10 pounds, 3 pounds bigger than his mother and 2 pounds bigger than his father.
