They can be any where in the 2-1/2 lb to 7 lb range.
You will not know until the dog is grown.
2 - 6 lb dogs can produce small or large pups.
It all depends on what's in the lines.
The only way to get close to carbon copies of the parents.. is if a person inbreeds.
IMO ..You may want to do a little research first before you question the way someone breeds. Even show breeder pups can and do go out of standard sometimes.
I might also add that the smallest pup can grow up to be the largest out of a litter. |
Absolutely correct, you've been doing some studying and taken a breeding seminar.....Dr. Carmen Battaglia's, maybe? The size of the dog does not determine the size of the pups....it's genetics and linage......if you really
want to know what you get go back to the Grandsire & Granddam.....people think that breeding tinies to tines, begets tinies....we'll they're getting tines cause they're breeding too close within their lines.....
