Unless her vet is familiar with the pedigree of the dogs behind the breeding pair, it is nothing more than a wild guess on the size of those babies. My tiny stud, Boss,was just 3 lbs....but he threw puppies 5-7 lbs because of a particular line behind him.....the best way to determine the size of the puppies and the size of the females pelvic ring (birth canal which the babies must pass through) is to have an xray done and ratios measured. Too late for that now! Watch her closely for problems.....have that vet on speed dial!
