When we picked up Apollo (age 10weeks) he was 25lbs, Aslan was 30, and noticably larger than the other pups. Susie said he was larger than everyone else at birth too. She didn't expect it to last, but it did, and he's turned into a stunning dog. Course, so did the rest of the litter, at least those I've seen pictures for!
Susie picked out Apollo for us. We weren't close enough to visit prior to picking him up, and she had reservations for almost all the pups in the litter, several of them for specific combinations of gender and color, so she couldn't wait for us to choose when we came down when they were 10weeks. She runs on a strict first come first serve, and since we got our reservation in fairly early we got one of the "first picks". She asked us ALOT of questions about what we wanted, and what our experience was, and our lifestyle and made the decision for us. We didn't care about color, but wanted a male. And I can't complain, she made an awesome choice for us. In some ways I wish we COULD have chosen for ourselves, but I'm ok with the results of her pick!
The picture from the Facebook page I was trying to link to, this is Susie handling Aslan as breeder/owner/handler this past September (remember, he's not filled out yet any more than Apollo has.....):
