| size of mom Im planning on breeding my little girl in like a year or so ( she will be almost 2 by then) or on her second heat. she is now alittle over 3lbs at 11 months. She hasnt gotten any bigger for the past 3 months. i was wondering how many pups can she carry? The boy dog that she will be breeding with is almost 3 lbs and he will be 2.5 years old by then. Thank you. |

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | You shouldn't breed her. She's too little. They should be at least 5 pounds before they are bred. And also, when you do breed, it's best if the stud is smaller. I'd reccomend just getting her spayed and keeping her as a loving pet.

| It's not a good idea to breed her, she is too small. Like Megan said, they should be at least 5lbs (even that is small) and the dad should be a lot smaller. You don't want to do that to your little girl, too many things can go wrong, you don't want to end up losing her.

| Ditto the above. Do not breed her. She is way too small. |

| Yes I agree. She is too small and there are too many risks and dangers of breeding one that is that small, it would not be worth it.

| She probably won't get any bigger. You are taking a huge risk in breeding her. |

The smaller the female is, the smaller the male will need to be, and the puppies get increasingly smaller. So it's not only a risk to the mother, but to the puppies as well. | |

| The smallest female I have ever bred is 4 pounds 12 oz. and she had a prior natural delivery before I got her. She was bred to a male 4 pounds even. |

| My female is now 10 lbs. 4 ozs. & my male is now 6 lbs. 7.2 ozs. I thought he was to short/small to reach her but I was very wrong...She had her puppies & they are 12 weeks now, 1st litter...No problems what so ever...And every baby lived! We had 4. Love them all!

| My female is 3.7 lbs and has had a litter prior to me getting her. Her litter was in March this year, and she just came into heat now, a week after getting her... I will wait atleast until next heat to breed, but I need to find a small male to stud.... |
