"Congratulations" on your new Baby......I'm sure you'll spoil him rotten!
From my experience the Bigger the Better, it means he's got all the Mothers milk to himself w/c is full of Health building nutrients. The smaller ones are @ a higher Health risk. Unfortunetly this Breed loves to eat anything and everything! It's up to you how much you feed him and what grade/quality food? Another problem is that most first time owners don't usually excercise them by giving them simple daily walks @ least 2 times per day, beleive it or not these are active hunting dogs that love to track, chase and dig for prey
even if it's only a squirrel or bird to them that's their job! It's us humans that
dress and parade them and smother them with love (I know I do).
Both Artie & Abigail were the biggest, heaviest most "Dominant" puppies from their Litters w/c meant they were the first & last to nurse from their Mothers.
I actually got a deal from their Breeders b/c of this they were bullying the rest of their Littermates and causing mayhem in their Home, so they were anxious to get rid of them! (Both are from different Litters and no relation to each other) They turned out to be normal standard weight, very solid, compact and muscular. They are also very calm and stable and they definetely have that confidence of being the first born! Good Luck and Welcome to YT.
