A lot of people will take a bigger female and breed it to a small male and have a huge litter of puppies and then you have small puppies that are runts these are not healthy puppies there the weakest pup of the litter when this is done the right way you get beautiful tiny babies that are healthy if i ever thought one of my girls would be in trouble from having puppies i would never breed her. heres ad example of the way my last 2 girls who had puppies on the 19th of may Lulu had 2 puppies one at 2am and one at 3am she had no problem having them and Molly had 3 puppies 1 at 8pm 1 at 8:20pm and 1 at 9pm all the puppies are doing well when you breed these tinies you have to feed them when there first born because when they nurse it's a lot of work for them and they get tired and fall asleep I get up every 3 hrs and check my puppies make sure they are all nice and chubby and ate enough if not i feed them myself i don't suggest breeding these tiny yorkies to anyone who is first starting out breeding the best way to start is with a 5 to 6 pound female and a 3 or 4 -lb male then once you learn you can breed the tiny ones you have to know what your doing to breed these little yorkies it's not only having them born you have to know how to take care of them after there born to. I love my babies and you also have to keep them longer you can't let them go home until they are at least 3 to 4 months old heres a picture of a female thats is 5 months old and is finally going home the owner is picking her up and she is just perefct she weights 1-lb 2oz

Thank you for replying it is still a mystery to me because from the hundreds of posts I have read in the breeders section they say never breed a tiny 3 pound female. And when you are told about red flags that is one of the ones warned about. I personally if and when I decide I want to do this will never breed a female under 4 1/2 to 5 lbs as that is what most of the breeders I have spoken to recommend. I am glad you say you care for these puppies so well. I just felt I needed to ask the questions.

well that entirely up to you my mama's just love there babies and they love being mothers I kept my Katies last little girl for her and she still loves taking care of her and she's 4yrs old now it's my little gracie she's a pet and is only
2-lbs. If i didn't feel as though it was safe for them i would never breed them i measure there pelvises and every thing before i ever think about breeding them and i wait until they are at least 2yrs old and done growing and i myself am only 4'6 inches tall and i had 5 children myself who i love dearly maybe thats why i like the little ones there just like me what if they told me i was to small to have babies to love? I would be without children who are my greatest gift

Ok at risk of getting yelled at I am sitting here and my mind is racing and won't rest so I am going to say this:p I appologize before hand if I offend anyone. I am in the process as lots of you know of adopting little Lolita who is 3.9lbs and was used as a breeder. She is now 5 years old and was rescued by Jen. She was spayed today and did well but at the time also had to have several teeth removed. IMO these tiny little girls should not be bred. It is just to hard on them. Our little male is 3.2lbs now and I cannot imagine ever breeding a little girl that size. It just boggles my mind. I talked to my vet about Lolo and she said that their little uterus and pelvis is generally way to small to be used as breeders. I think I will take her word for it. Again sorry if I offend and waiting to be yelled at. Its ok I can take it lol.

Actually, since she posted this in the General Discussion section, I think she can expect, well, discussion. ;)

If she wanted it to be strictly a "for sale" thread, she should have posted it there and followed the guidelines.
