When you have a new litter and you choose the best of the litter for a higher price, could you say if when the puppies are full grown there is really a big difference out of the pups? Even if the parents have known blood lines, won't their puppies grow to be roughly the same size? To someone who isn't showing, wouldn't the differences in puppies be pretty miniscule?

The reason why I ask is because the breeder I like to use told me he has a puppy with the same face as mine but the fur on his back isn't as nice as he likes it. The pup is 3 months old. This is a different mother but same father. When the puppy is grown, will there be that big of a difference? In the pictures, I can't tell, he looks adorable! He also said it would probably be a little smaller than my previous dog. I'm trying to debate whether to chance the smaller puppy or wait till Christmas, first of the year and get one from the same set of parents. My little guy was just perfect. He weighed a very healthy 6 pounds! I'm just wondering if there's any guarantee the little guy would turn out to be smaller, cause I am thinking there probably isn't. For this reason, I am asking a breeder. Thankfully, my breeder breeds for quality, healthy dogs not small size. He likes to show.

Also, the breeder is going to send me pictures of the pups that'll be ready around New Years. Is there a way to say one is better than the other at 2 weeks? Seems so little. What do I look for if I choose one?
