Hello, none of us are intending to insult you or anything and I personally apologize if it appears that way. I too have had pups born, had to take pups in difficult labors, and dealt with births of other animals as well. However, when you are talking about breeding chi's, you are talking about a vastly different ballgame than breeding other animals or even other breeds of dogs. Chi's are susceptible to certain medical conditions (ex: low sugar) , chi pups have special needs ( easy with the "soft spot!) , and the fact that they are so small to begin (what happens when pup is as big as mom????) which presents a whole new set of difficulties.
 
I am sure any of us are willing to answer any questions you may have. Just please ask, research, and think before you choose this rout, because it truly is different. Be willing to accept advice from experienced chi breeders, with out feeling offended that we are "talking down to you" because that is not our intentions. :-)

If you are looking to breed a female under the weight of 4lbs you may want to do your homework alittle more.  I breed but would never breed one under 4lbs.

My thoughts exactly. I too am a chi breeder and would be scared to death to breed one that small. If you are realy trying for the small gene (which is kinda silly since chi's, like humans, will come in all sizes) the father should be the smal one, not the mother. I have bred my 4.5 lb chi one time with a 3.5 lb father, but that was stupid on my part. Thankfully, everyone was fine and dandy, but one pup was rather large and vet said if he got any bigger a c-section would be required. Thankfully he didn't get bigger. My advice, don't do it. Make sure the mom is big enough to have a healthy pregancy and keep the dad smaller.
