Default Dog breeding questions?

I would like to breed my 4 year old Chihuahua for the first time. She has a really nice personality and a lively temperament. She has a very good bloodline and she is ACA registered. I got her from a online website saying she was 3rd generation to Paris Hiltons Chihuahua, Tinkerbell! I was wondering:1) Will breeding her for the first time change her personality or temperament?2) What is the ideal size to breed Chihuahuas? Kaylie is 1.6lb and is definitely a fully grown mini!3) Would it be safe to breed her with my friends APR 2.3lb male mini Chi?4) Are there any risks to breeding dogs?5) What age should the male be before he is a father for the first time? I believe that Milo is just over a year old now.6) What is the average amount of pups a Chi can have? I do not know how many Kaylie's mom had because I got her shipped from a breeder in Missouri but Milo's mom had a litter of 2.7) How many times should she be mated and on what day of her heat cycle?

There are too many homeless dogs being killed everyday as it is... why make more?

I'm sure you love your dog. Do the potential progeny a favor and dont make them.

I have to agree with MGM. As a former long time breeder (over 45 years), anyone who asks others HOW TO is not qualified. Breeding requires a long time of studying. Books and resources. Genetic testing is a must and being that your dog is registered with ACA and purchased from a website leaves me to believe that she is not what you think she is. In addition, there is overall a great deal of cost in breeding dogs from testing, bloodwork up then testing puppies and all necessary vet costs. In addition to the dog possibly needing a c-section to deliver as this is in fact common in small breed dogs. Sorry, but based on you having to ask only indicates you have not done any real studying on the subject and remember, just because a website says the dog is related to Hiltons does not make it so. Fact is many breeders will tell you anything they think you want to hear just to sell you a dog. Many are no better than a used car salesman.
