Too small to breed

JeanieK · 04-22-2007, 12:09 PM

Even if they managed to whelp with no problems, the strain on her from trying to feed for them might be too much.

Why is that "not to the standard?"

I realize it's too small to breed, but it is still meets the standard...

Rose Bama is right on this one. There is no minimum size on the standard and we haven't seen this wee one. But you're right way too small to breed.
We have enough problems with a larger bitch, why ask for more.

ok is there not a weight on the standard and 3 1/2 is ok to breed for a female not to many 3 1/2 pound females win in the ring
it is a shame that there is not a minimun weight ok my bad went to akc and looked it up

BamaFan121s · 04-23-2007, 03:18 PM

I kept my mouth shut today when we were talking on the phone.

you mentioned the 4-7 lbs and I almost corrected you but thought better of it at the time, if you know what I mean

cutiepieyorkies · 04-23-2007, 03:21 PM

cutiepieyorkies · 04-23-2007, 03:23 PM

Actually Rose I strife for 5-7 lb show bitch My males I don't like under 5 pounds either. But weight is only half of it, you can have a small bitch that is over weight and large bitch that is under. Bone, Structure and Balance.

cutiepieyorkies · 04-23-2007, 04:19 PM

oh i agree with that i have two different bitches different body structer and different weighs but none under five.five male champ is 4.5
