When I listed about the 3 pound show winner (I think he was actually Best of Show) he was competing in the old classification 5 pounds and under. They were breeding them at that weight back then. I know some are now, but reputable breeders and the YTCA all recommend not breeding under 5 pounds. Hopefully we have learned a LOT since the old days. That probably has everything to do with the dissolution of the 5 pounds nad under classification and going to "not to exceed 7 pounds" as we have now.
