Why would anyone want to do this? Don't we all know that a breeder can't guarantee a puppy's adult weight. Certainly, a breeder can made an educated guess and be close to correct most of the time.....but there are always exceptions - and we have seen a lot of them.
I think expecting a breeder to guarantee a puppy's weight - is not fair, in itself. And then - if your pup gets larger than the breeder thought - are you going to take it back (after you have had it several months)....of course not.
Or - would you expect part of your money back? This isn't fair either.
All things being equal - usually a pup will be close to the size of its parents -- but certainly not 100% of the time.
We need a "be fair to breeder's week." (And I'm not a breeder - I'm a neutered/spayed pet owner.)
