This is very true. I have a puppy and the chart says he won't be any bigger than 7 1/2# but his parents are 10 & 11#. Both of them are throwbacks and I don't know the size of the mother's parents so I don't know how much bigger than her parents she is. The male is one # bigger than his mother and 3# bigger than his father. I don't know the size of his grandparents. These 2 had a litter of 4 and nely one of them is supposed to be near his parents sizes. Sylvia |
