A oner will usually get big fast and slow down as he gets older -- so initial guestimate will look like he is going to be bigger than actual. Large litters will usually have some late starts who will catch up quickly when they get out on their own). But I just was really curious how you came up with your guess. I like to store away any info.
Just an uneducated guess based on my experience with my yorkies. All of mine seem to have a late growth spurt.
