It sounds like your new to breeding as well, so at the very least, it might be helpful for you as well to learn if she is a healthy size for breeding.
    People do successfully breed smaller female if they are smart about it, there are many thing to take in consideration.

    A good starting point for a female is 18 months to 3 years weighing at 1500 grams (however the bigger the better)

    Now while I would breed a 18 months old that is 1500 grams I would not however breed a 18 months old that is 1100/1200 grams but I would breed a female that size if she was 4 years or more.

    Breeding is about age, weight, and proportion it is also possible not to breed a 1800 grams females that is 3 years old because her proportions are off.

    In the end experience makes the difference.
