Yeah, there's a name for a breeder who does that! I've tried to warn people to watch out when a breeder "name drops", this is different than showing a pedigree, they are just marketing well known names, that have some sort of "status" behind them, and the average pet buyer is taken in by this. Glad you accepted your baby no matter what size he is, I've read threads where buyers wanted to return the dog because he grew to 7 pounds.
