Half the puppies were larger than the dam at 12 wks old!!! It pays to study their pedigree and look at the last 3 to 5 generations. |
This is interesting..I am looking at a female pup now and she is not much smaller then the parents at 10 weeks. The dam is 5.5lbs and the sire 3lbs. Does this mean the puppies are going to be larger then the parents if they are almost their size now?
