Choosing the right pup

[nemesis9]

Hi everyone. Now that I've decided it was time to search for the perfect frenchie I'm having difficulty. After looking at so many frenchies I can't help but notice the size differences. I'm wanting a male and I know they are usually bigger which is fine, but I've seen some frenchies that seem on the very large size. I'm after a smaller size. I found one breeder that I really enjoy. Her male is 28lb and female is 24. The male looks very nice but seems maybe on the big side. What's everyone's opinions on this. Does a pup always turn out the size of the gender parent? Thanks

[MENTION=1611]nemesis9[/MENTION], I would choose sex over size. Even though the males are a little bigger, they are such a compact breed that they still appear small. Bambi is very small (I think), but she is 22+ pounds and you would never know it. They are just totally solid. You don't realize how much they weigh until you go to pick them up. Good luck. I think once you get your frenchie, it won't matter how much its final weight is. You will be just ga ga over the breed. They are the best.

[MENTION=1611]nemesis9[/MENTION], OMG, he is beautiful!!! He doesn't look 28 lbs. I think all the colors are beautiful, but I am particularly fond of the brindles.

Congratulations! 28 lbs. is in the normal range for a male Frenchie! The 2 most important things are health and temperament, make sure both parents comply!

I think he is beautiful!!! A pup does not always end up the same size as the gender parent. So he could be smaller or he could be a bit bigger. Stella is much smaller than her mom at 20 lbs. and Jake is a little bigger than his father at 29 lbs. Good luck!

My dog's parents were on the small side, both under 20 lbs. He was less than 3 lbs at 12 weeks when we picked him up and 10 lbs at 6 months. The vet says they generally about double from 6 months. He's now 27 pounds and is actually on the slim side. So, you really never know.
