You have to know all the information - siblings, uncles, parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents. Just like with us humans - with height. So size of pup is very difficult to predetermine without knowing all the ancestor/family history of all concerned. I like quality of both, and size - I never go very tiny as seen by some BYB. Many do think that if they breed a small stud to a bigger bitch this is the best. No, no. You go with quality. And to be honest some of those tiny studs - just do not really have the quality that I would want. They seem almost alien or like a toy. But if you were to check their bite, legs, movement, topline, face measurement... you would not have quality here. So go with quality, not for the tiniest stud. Best if both should be around 5-7 pounds. I too prefer both to be 5-6 pounds best for both of them - stud and bitch that have the right qualities to be breed and make a good match.
