| weight is practicaly impossible to determine from the parents weight isnt it? some puppies are bigger and some are smaller, you could get the runt wich might end up 3 lbs, or you could get the "food monger" of the litter and get one that weighs 8 lbs....... i dunno am i wrong?..... tobys parents weighed 4 lbs and 5 lbs..... but he will end up around 7 or 8 lbs |

| weight Tough one...but the breeder should know, not to the exact oz..but you can sure know at 8 weeks if it will be 2 or 3 pounds or 7/8 pounds...triple at 8 weeks and double at 12 weeks..works about 90% of the time. |
