i mean kupo is already at his expected weight now according to breder and he's going to be 6 months soon.. o.o
i really want them both, but i didn't want a pup that was too small.. :/ |
It's what their lines produce. That's why most serious breeders study the lines behind the dogs they're interested in before purchasing.
My youngest male's mother is 8/9 lbs. Weight wise she's big but with the right male she consistently produces 4-6 lb pups. So don't just look at the dog that you're interested in, look at all the lines behind that particular pup.
My oldest stopped growing length/height wise at about 7 months, he still filled out a bit weight wise until a little over a year.I
