I am sure if you and your family are savvy about breeding dogs, you know size is just one factor. Most 5 pound plus girls can be bred to a male of 5 to 7pounds without a problem. I have bred many smaller girls to 6 and 7 pound champions and not had a problem....You may want to stay in the 4 to 5 pound range for a pet stud, but that does not mean an easy whelping for the bitch. The frame is very important...it needs to be a compact, with equal weight..not a 9 pound frame carrying 7 pounds...this goes for both male and female...
I would stay on forums, read, go to shows, become familiar with the standard and in a year, you can decide if this male is breed quality and go from there. Best wishes..
