I like this thread, A lot of good sense was posted here. When I breed my Bell, and yes it was my first breeding of many I hope. I breed for standard, 5-7 lbs. I wanted another female that had the same qualities that my first female has, with a few better ones.
I first wanted one a bit smaller than Bell, who is 8lbs so I breed her with a 5lb male. I wanted to try to thicken her coat, because she is cottony, He had a more wire/silk coat. Hopefully I have produced good pups, They are healthy and right now look great... But wouldn't you figure it that every time someone wants to inquire about them ...They want a tiny!!
But within my litter of three I have a much smaller one, But I could never sell him as tiny, becasue who really knows how big or small he will be when he is done growing..
