Are these parents big enough for me to expect a decent size female for breeding or is there any way to know for sure?

Thanks!
Much more comes into play other than parents. I was told if you like a dog go back to the dog's sire to breed to. By that I mean you know what the sire of the dog you likes throws. Grandparents are a better indication of what you'll get.
