We had a puppy that matured to 3 pounds in our last litter and when her owner took her to the vet, she was given a big lecture about how unethical it is to breed them this small. I got so defensive. I think you said earlier that about 20% of them are tinies. We don't have enough experience to know if this is true, but I know when you breed for a 5-1/2 to 6-pound adult, it happens. Same breeding produced a 7 pound male.

If you look at the sizes of the parents you will see she wasn't breeding for an average sized adult and just happened to get a tiny.
