Most breeders know their lines and what their breeding will produce.....but, there are times that even when repeat breeding the same sire and dam....what they got in one litter, will not happen in a repeat breeding....you may get a tiny or one that will be on the larger size.

As stated in the standard: Must not exceed seven pounds....that's still a small dog....nothing in the standard states 4-7 pounds.....
