I read that when you do get your male he will be 8 weeks old. There is no way the breeder can predict what weight he will be. So, he may be a tiny himself, or he may wind up being over standard (over 7 pounds). A general guess about weight is to triple the 8 week weight or to double the 12 week weight. But many on here have posted that their dogs either had a growth spurt and surpassed that guesstimate or stopped growing early and were much smaller. So, even with the formula, it is a guess.
I think your breeder is selling her puppies way too soon. Reputable breeders will not let puppies leave until they are at least 12 weeks old, especially when they have to be shipped! Instead of looking for a certain weight of puppies, I suggest you do some research here about how to find a reputable breeder and then just go for a healthy puppy. Or as suggested earlier in the thread, wait until you have had your little male for a while and then decide if that is what you still want to do. I do like the idea of having more than one. That way when we do have to go somewhere or get busy, they still have company. But you have to be sure that is what you really want. It is double the expense, double the mess, and double the attention that you need to provide. In return it is also double the joy!
