Jamie, my JoJo's mom, Spotty, is a tiny little girl - probably about 11" and 20#. However, Spotty's FULL brother, Donnte, is 18" tall and about 53#. When I got JoJo, I had no idea whether she'd turn out to be like Spotty or "Uncle Donnte". She's actually someplace in between - like her "sire", Little Joe. Donnte is way too big for AKC standards, but he is one magnificent beagle! I love the big moose! JoJo's "pups" have turned out to be more like their sire - who's a small beagle, in size, but LOOK more like their mom - you just never know with these beagle brats!
