When you are looking for a mate you need to consider a lot of different things. We had our females first and then got our male. I had the pick of the litter. I looked at them at 6 weeks and the smallest one looked like it would have an overbite (no teeth yet, but gums on top stuck out further). I went back at 9 weeks and picked the pup I thought I would like. then when I went at 12 weeks to pick him up I changed my mind and got a different pup that had a totally different personality from his brothers. Even though pups are from the same litter everything about them can be different even their coat types. so make sure to take all of that into mind when picking your pup. Also if you are curious about the females full grown size ask the breeder how much she weighed when she was born. Generally a 4 oz baby will make a dog that is a little over 4 lb when it is full grown. you will want your female to be atleast 4lb so don't get a pup that was less than 4oz when born.

Best of luck.
