Hey all,
I doubt anyone will really remember me, but 20montbs ago my little kuki had a litter of 3 perfect little pups. I am considering a second litter, but have a few questions I was hoping some of you could help with.
Kuki is 5 1/2lbs, her mother is 6 1/2 and father 6- with larger (9+lb) dogs far back in his pedigree. The stud I used was 4 1/2 ish and his lines are pretty consistent in size (and type). Of the 3 pups I kept the only girl with the hope of showing her, however she grew to 9lbs, although IMO fits the standard in Every other way. Of the boys, one is 4-5lbs and the other is 8. They have fairly large ears, but they did stand. The only other 'fault' I can see is the little boy has a slightly paler nose than others.
I do want a show pup from my kuki, who is 4yrs old and currently lp and pra clear. There is no YT breeder in NI who DNA tests so personally I don't think it would be of benefit (if kuki was to have a carrier status I wouldn't know what the stud carried...
I know this isn't a Lot of info to go on, but think this Op is long enough as it is! So my question really, I adore the typyness of the pups and kuki and the stud do seem pretty darn compatible, it's only the size throwback that's the problem. Should I stick with the same line of even same stud, or find a different stud from different lines and hope for type?
