Hi Laurie, thanks for responding. Actually believe it or not, Beaux has never given me anything larger than 6 lbs, and that's even with having a 9 lb mother. I have gotten a whopping grandson out of him, however.. but his father and mother also went back to some bigger dogs, so it wasn't a surprise. I have spent many many many hours and done my very very best in finding as much info about what's behind Beaux, and his 2 half sisters as I possibly could, pictures, stories, information.. but I haven't been able to gather near as much as I'd like to.. It would be so much more beneficial to just pick up the phone, and go to the source..but that hasn't been an option unfortunately.
Maybe someday it will be. In the meantime I do the best I can with the knowledge I do have, and try to gather more every day.
The big puppies, however were from an outside stud.. 3 litters, 3 mostly unrelated bitches...nothing worth keeping. I feel like I wasted a year.
Oh well, live and learn...and learn...and learn some more..and keep on reaching for that next rung.

Beaus grandsire is an 8lb dog, the Europeans like a bigger dog, Danny bred the right way can and will produce some lovely puppies, ie Rebel, BUT again, Rebels dam is a cobby girl and produced small which is why I knew bred to Danny I should get some nice puppies.
As per Rothbys Rockafella he too is a TALL boy I know, I have his dauther here in my home( I was the only person in Canada beside the owner to breed to this dog) his problum was his front so had to sure to breed him to a long line of good fronts the result was my beautiful Summer she is a tall/big girl (which is why I never showed her) but I knew what was back there and so I took her back to Pilot ( litter brother to Fury's mother) knowing I should get some nice pups. She has never dissapointed me. So you see, it is all about knowing not just your dogs, but what is behind the lines as well.

Groveshire..well I guess you can give him and Aeros the credit LOL, everyone knows the truth. NicNak's MaMa Mia, NicNak's Ginger Spice and NicNak's Mia Rock think those dogs were born of my decisions on whom would be bred to whom
Regardless, however the story goes I do wish you luck at the Garden Donna.
