Size of the babies is determined from the line of dogs...not only the parents, but most importantly, what is BEHIND those parents, on both sides, for at least 9 generations back. The parents can weigh 4 lbs each, but if there are large dogs in this baby's pedigree, this baby can weigh 4 lbs or you may get a throwback, and the baby will weigh 10 lbs!!! You could also get a baby that only gets to 3 lbs, also because of what is behind this breeding pair....If you have a breeder that is familiar with what she is breeding and her lines, she will be able to present an educated guess about what that baby MAY weigh.....and trying to "guesstimate" what a baby is going to weigh as determined by that baby's pedigree and lines, is iffy at best, at 6 weeks old.....but your breeder will be better able to determine more closely, by the time the baby is 12 weeks old, as determined by the line of dogs behind this puppy..... |
