I'd say no.
Simply because breeding pairs, for the most part are not kept together. The male will harrass the female, in some cases to the point of illness. Both animals should be at least 18 months old before attempting breeding.

Also, if the male is substantially smaller than the female (or vise versa) you risk the larger seriously dominating and possibly harming the other dragon, certainly stressing it out and hogging all the food.
