Size is only one consideration in breeding. You have to look at the overall picture. Most knowledgeable breeders know that it is okay to use a bigger male on a smaller female as long as there is no huge size difference and you are familiar with the lines. I prefer my females to be in the 6 to 7 lb range but that is not always easy. I have been told that it is the female that determines the size of the puppies when they are in the womb. |
