Question
I was told you might have to help the male if he is smaller 3-4 lbs female 10lbs. Is this true?

Answer
Kelley,

Your information is correct.  I would suggest giving them a chance to do it on their own but be ready to assist your male if they get tied.  The female being so much larger than him is liable to drag him around by his penis which could harm him and definitely hurts him.  If she does start to drag him you need to hold her still until the tie releases itself.

I have a word document on my website that details the breeding process from start to finish and would explain in detail how to help them if they can't do it themselves.  If you would like to view the document go to www.petremembrances.com/Yorkie%20Advise.html and you can print it for future reference if you like.
