Answer 1

I am assuming you mean the female being the smaller. While possible, such a differing of breeds will present the potential for health issues during the pregnancy. I would check a with a vet for a sure answer.

However, if you are asking this in terms of considering breeding your dog, please reconsider and think of having your dog spayed or neutered, and then adopting from a shelter. It will be cheaper, safer, and help control the pet population.

If your dog got pregnant by accident, you really should be asking your vet for advice.

If you are just in it it for the money and are trying breed dogs for gain, I suggest you ask that Vick guy from football. He may have some advice about mistreating dogs.

Answer 2

Are you serious or is this question a joke. If you are serious, you really should not just breed a dog when you do not even know the simple answers. God, what will you do if something goes really wrong with the pregnant female. Please do not just breed your dog for the heck of it. If you really feel the need to breed your dog, do tons of research, have a vet that can help you through the pregnancy and after the birth of the puppies and prepare to spend a great deal of money on the pups, shots, deworming, if any get sick which is common.

Answer 3

This is similar to how we got our dog. In that case, the mom was 4 lbs and the dad was 15. The vet had to deliver her by C-section. We are ever so glad everyone survived! It was really hard on the little mom, since our baby weighed 4 lbs by 10 weeks and still would have nursed if the mom let her!! I'd talk to a vet about these two dogs in particular and see if he's had good experience with this cross. (Our little one's delivery ended up costing quite a bit!)

Answer 4

First off....you need a taller, or stronger fence so dogs can't get to your dog like that. Second, get her spayed.

And yes a BIG male dog impregnating a much smaller female can kill the female if the puppies get too big for her body to handle.

Consult with your vet to see if the puppies need to be aborted for the health of your dog than schedule spaying.

Answer 5

The fact that you are even asking this goes to show that you should not be breeding any dog regardless of size.
In response to your question, can they breed, probably not. Nature has a way of preventing such odd matings from occuring simply because 2 dogs of such different sizing will create dogs that have all sorts of health problems such as joint and bone issues. It is terribly difficult for the female to have such large puppies, and yes, it could kill her.
Get your dog fixed and quit asking dum@$$ questions.

EDIT: After reading your edit, I apologize for my resoponse, but there are so many similar questions on here from people that really do want to breed dogs like that, so just remember that people are sensitive to this.

Answer 6

if the girl is 150 pounds it wouldnt kill her. but if the girl is the 30-40 it would be a high chance of killing her.
and anyways why would you want to breed your dog so many dogs out there are being euthanized cuz they cant find homes.
and the main reason goooood breeders breed is to better the breed.

Answer 7

This question AND some of the answers are disturbing. It should be illegal to let your dog breed with ANY other dog unless you have proven to be a responsible pet owner.

Answer 8

Wow no need to yell. You can have her spayed and abort the pups. A mating of such significant size difference is a really dangerous thing for the female.
Just talk to your vet about this and then make a resposible decision.

Answer 9

It very well could kill her.. If you are looking for experiements, why don't you see what happens when you have your PETS spayed/neutered.. Write a nice little report about the benefits of spaying and neutering and how wonderful it is for your pets.. How it makes you the responsible one, rather than the fool who decided to breed their huge dog to their little dog, just for the heck of it...

Answer 10

i cant see that it would be a good idea, im sure she very would get pregant, however larget breed dogs tend to have larger litters, than smaller dogs, simply put because they dont have room to accomadate a large litter, i think its would harm the life of yor dog possible, and may very well lead to high cost vet bills due to complications, your asking for trouble, think twice, in doubt simply ask your vet for there professional opion
