How young is to young?

I personally won't breed a female who's under 1500 grams, or less than 2 years old.

I understand some few females stay smaller than that, but in my opinion, they aren't really suitable breeding stock if they never get larger than 1500 grams.

And with that thinking, we wouldnt be as far along with the genetics we are now if everyone wouldnt breed a female that stayed small.
