It's really not possible to tell at such a young age, because so much depends on genetics. A good breeder might be able to make an estimate because they know the history of their lines - not just the sire/dam, but also the grand sires/dams, great grand sires/dams, etc. Without that information and experience, you'll just have to wait to see how your puppies turn out. I'm sure they're just precious.
