Thanks Whitney....more reassuring words. Looking at my Halle who is about 5lbs now at 6 months, I try to imagine her carrying a litter of pups....and have also wondered how big of a puppy she can whelp. I know that is also dependant on how the female's frame is built; free whelping family history, etc...........I'm thinking Halle will do fine, just like her mom!
