Default Question to breeders about puppy weight

Sorry if this is not the right place to post this question. I am going to look at a little girl next week ...the breeder said that she is tiny, will be lucky to make 3 pounds, has a square body which I am assuming means short and cobby? So here is my question. This puppy was 9 weeks old yesterday and weighs 14 1/2 ounces. Is this small or average for 9 weeks? Is 9 weeks to young to determine accurately what size she will be? Her sire is 3 pounds but I forgot to ask the size of her dam as she is not pictured on her site. She is letting her go at 11 weeks. Is this early for a tiny one? The breeder is a 10 minute drive from me, so no shipping needed. I am looking for a baby with a babydoll face who will be about the same size as my Peanut who is 3 pounds, 7 1/2 inches tall and 8 inches long. Would it make more sense for me to look for an older puppy or young adult? By the way, my babies are spayed and neutered, I am not a breeder hence the dumb questions. LOL!! Thanks everyone.
