Don't forget that the male dwarves outnumber the females like...I think it was three to one. Besides, many dwarves never married or reproduced. At least, I think this is what it said in the Appendices. Maybe because the "death rate" is lower than the "birth rate" the dwarven race slowly dwindled.
Poor dwarves....
