breeding female toy and male miniature

Question
Hello, I'm interested to know. I have 2 years old TOY female poodle 7 lbs and miniature Male poodle 12-13 lbs. If they breed will she deliver the babies? or pass performing delivery...??? thank you

Answer
Hello Serge,
While your dog should be ok with this breeding, its best to stick to breeding Toy Poodle to Toy Poodle and Miniature to Miniature.  Otherwise what happens is that you have large Toy Poodles or Small Miniature Poodles rather than the correct size of Toy or Miniatures.  It messes up the gene pool when you breed outside of the Standard.  

She should have no problems delivering the puppies as long as she is healthy and all measures have been taken prior to the breeding.  

Thanks for your question and if you have other questions in the future, please feel free to ask.
