A lot of people don't really understand and that is why they give the guff.
You could breed a 2 1/2 lb male to a female, but that doesn't mean he will produce small at all. It depends on what they come from too. He might be a runt and all behind him could be 5-6 or larger. That said our vet told us that it is actually the female is who determines the birth size of the puppy. Sort of like the saying that the fish only grows as large as their tank. Although he is talking more like a 1-2 lbs diffence in a toy breed and NOT like a large dog to a tiny dog - that is totally different.
