Some breeders like to follow the theory of tripling their weight at 8 weeks or doubling their weight at 12 weeks to get their projected adult weigh. Sometimes this is fairly accurate but there are always exceptions. Puppies in smaller litters tend to get fatter than pups from large litters but once they are walking and weaned they will lose a lot of the baby fat. I can tell more about their projected adult size by weighing them at 8 weeks.
