Some breeders will lie to you and tell you the size a dog will be . One can never actually know the size. I look at my parents, and grandparents, use the growth chart and guess about what I think they will be. I always make sure the people understand that any thing can happen as far as size. I have a 4 lb stud and have always bred him to 5-6 lb bitches. He has thrown pups from 2-3/4 lbs up to 5lbs. he has only had two tho that got to 5lbs and actually alost 6lbs. There are so many things to factor in, it's hard to know what size they will be. Genetics is a funny thing. All my dogss are blue/gold that I breed but this same little stud has produced one pup that stayed dark, almost black. I scratch my head and wonder where did that come from?
