Question
My question is can my tiny toy poodle have baby, will she have more than 1. Will she be in danger?

Answer
Hello Celia,
Your girl should be able to have puppies, but be sure to use a small male as her mate.  She could have 1-3 puppies, her body will adapt to carry the puppies.  The more puppies she has inside, the smaller the puppies will be until they are born.  Once they are born they will grow normally.  
You will want to keep in contact with your Vet just in case your dog has any problems.  

Also, before you breed her, take her to your Vet to have a Pre-Breeding exam so that you will know that she is healthy enough to carry the puppies to term.  Its also a good idea to wait until your girl is 2 before breeding her.  That way, her body has a chance to fully mature before adding the stress of being bred.

I hope this helps you some.  If you have other questions, please feel free to ask.
