I realize the grandfather factor, if there's a big one in the rear you may get some from smaller parents. Curious, if you have two parents almost the same size and weight but the father is the larger one...do you get puppies, as adults, that are larger than parents, are the size of father or mother? I've seen growth charts and read if the father is smaller, puppies grow as smaller adults, right?
