Hello, welcome to PT. Although I prefer to rescue, I don't have a problem with breeding when it is to better the breed and is done by experienced breeders. Are you acquainted with any experienced breeders that you can learn from? Please forgive me for being blunt, but I don't have a polite way of putting this...your female being shorter than your male is the least of your worries in breeding. That is pretty basic. There are so many other complications that can happen and things that can go wrong. If you don't have the basics worked out, I'm assuming that you aren't prepared for all the other complications that can happen either. I am sure that you love your dogs and would want what is best for them. If you feel that you must breed them, I strongly recommend getting guidance from an experienced breeder.
I'm not saying this to be critical at all. I bought a pomeranian a few years ago with the intention of breeding him. Some friends of mine breed German Shepards and Poms, so they were going to guide me. I started observing what they did and realized that I was getting myself into so much more then I'd expected. C-sections, stillborns, reviving ill puppies, first aid on the mom, even the actual process of breeding can be complicated. One of their shephards was smaller then the male, I witnessed that breeding. And how they dealt with it was shocking to me. You'd be surprised on how much the breeders manhandle the dogs' parts to guide them in breeding. It's quite a bit more hands on then I was prepared for if you know what I mean. Then there's artificial insemination if the bitch is truly to short but you have to consider if she's also to small to give birth. Anyways, I'm rambling. To make a long story short, I was mortified that I even thought I could be a breeder. I decided to leave it up to the experienced.
