You can never count on size and weight. But, as time goes on you become knowledgable about your line.

The sire of my sire is known for throwing puppies that grow and gain very quickly, almost to the point of scaring you. I mean by the time they are about 4 weeks they are 2 pounders and gaining. However, at the age of 4 months they slow down and at maturity max out at 6 pounds. You have to consider that when they are puppies that alot of the weight gain is milk fat. Especially if mom's milk is rich and plentiful.

Then another sire/line are tinies and very slow to mature. But max out at 6 or 7 pounds.

Weight isn't the most important thing, structure, health and temperament are you goals.
