Many of them were sibling groups, meaning we bought at least two from a litter so they wouldn't have to travel alone. Two of the Biewers are still puppies so I'm not sure of their weights (their only 14 weeks old) but they look like they'll be around 4.5-5 lbs, both males.. The rest of them are all at least a year old. Out of the 12 that are at least a year old, all but 2 are under 5.5 lbs, 1 is under 6.5 lbs (female) and then we have two larger females that turned up over the standard 7 lbs.
Consistancy in size is a goal on the list.. it's going to take some time. I myself am trying to breed for the 5-6 lb size.. not to fond of the tiny tiny things.. would rather have stocky cobbie bodies so that's what we're breeding towards here.
Hope that helps you.

Thanks Diana.. so it seems at this point You have a wide range of Weights.. I guess there would be no telling what size the pups would turn out to..
What about Liver shunt?? Has the breed had much problems with this?? And are there certain lines that have the carriers??
Do the breeders get the parents Dna'd?? so you would have alittle bit if insurance who the parents are???
I appreciate all the help you guys have been giving me.. Loretta
