| Size it not something to first consider, it would be the soundness and attributes a male brings to the table complimenting your females. I would not be against breeding like to like or even a pound larger. I suggest, educate yourself with the studs background learning what past generations have produced starting with litter mates, the parents and grand parents, this will give you some insight. Hope this helps

| I know size isn't something to consider first... however, I'm thinking about getting a boy to add to our family. I want to be able to keep our options open as to if we decide to breed them or not. When talking to a breeder, he advised that since my girl will between 4 and 5 pounds that I would need to get a boy that is between a pound and 2... For those of you who have bred before, was the boy a lot smaller than the girl? |

| Kona to give you some examples...and something to think about Cappie is 5.5lbs/Bella 5.5 lbs; their litter is average 3.4lbs - 4.2lbs adult weight. Their past pedigree tell the story....
