Living things will always be something that is tough to predict to a tee. As human beings we should be able to relate to this...some very chunky children mature to be of super model body status and some skinny kids tend to become "bigger boned" as an adult. Most breeders know the background of their parents and line, and are able to give a good estimate, but nothing is fool proof. There are sometimes puppies that we know are not going to get very big as an adult because it is obvious.. but with an "average" acceptable weight regarding the breed standard for the age, sometimes they can fool us no matter what we think.
ok, but she sold me Kizzy at 6 weeks and 2 days old. So whatever, there was no reason for her to tell me that. All I got to say about this.
