I am not saying that I advocate breeding a two pound Yorkie, but I breed my 3.5 pound yorkie and she is by far the best whelper I have ever had. She has them much easier than any of the larger dogs. She comes from a long line of easy whelpers and has continued the tradition. It is obvious that both geneitc & physical traits contribute to a bitches ability to have pups. So to write people nasty messages incinuating that they are doing somthing wrong is rediculous. Most of these finger pointers don't have a clue what they are talking about. Again, my advice would be to put your money on a Bitch that comes from an easy whelping lin rather than buy the biggest one you can find & cross your fingers. Just so that I am clear and to avoid being chastised for this post I want to make clear that I don't advocate breeding a dog that is obviously unable to whelp successfully, but come on people ANY DOG COULD have a C-Sec. ANY of them run that possibility, so to suggest that someone is endangering their dog because they bred their 4 pound yorkie is both False and hypocritical. Every time we breed ANY of our dogs we run a risk for complications. So with that being said, Breed responsibly, think about the future well being of your animal, BE QUALITY CONSCIENCE. Many people clearly spend more time complaining than improving the quality of their stock. I think forum time would be better spent discussing topics that would improve the breed rather than whining about breeders tactics. REPORT PUPPY MILLS!

you are so right about everything you said. i bred a seven pound gal, had a c-section. I bred a four and a half pound girl known to be a free whelper and she just popped five little ones out one right the other. i think finding out if your dog is from a line of free whelpers is much more important than as you said, buying a big dog and keeping your fingers crossed.
