According to the AKC website, breed standard is 4-7 pounds. Now of course they can come much smaller, and sometimes larger. Your breeder should be able to show you pics of the sire (dad) and dame (mom) and let you know their specifications as well. If they are not up front with all of their information, I would find another breeder. Any reputable breeder should have a scale on hand to be able to weigh their pups, as size and weight is a general question that all potential buyers will ask about. As other posters have said as well, it sounds like your pup will probably be 10+ pounds, so if you want a small pup, this is not the way to go.
