| There is no magic number..many 5 pounders have no business being bred. Look at the frame and structure before the weight.
I do so agree about the size of the stud..the weight of a stud is the least of my concerns just so he is not oversized. I would pick a quality 4 pound stud over a tinier stud anyday.
There is this theory the stud must be smaller, the bitch must be 5 pounds and then all will be fine..no so. You have to go bitch by bitch. I hope that did not sound like a lecture..not meant to be. Good Luck to you. |
