My boys are tall, long-legged and on the larger side, 7 and 8 pounds and a few ounces. They are brothers from different litters and they are the "oddballs" of the offspring.
You have to go back farther than the sire and the dam to previous generations to determine what you are going to get out of a pairing. That is why good breeders spend so much time researching pedigrees.
