 Can someone give me some help

ok i bought a female american pitbull, well i didnt know it but she was pregnant, anyways i was told the dad was an am staff terrier, the pups just turned 6 weeks and are between 6 and 8 pounds, im wondering cause i cant find anything about growth charts. how big appx they are gonna be? will they be more like mom or dad? the vet said they look healthy but im just curious how they measure up to other puppies at this age. size really doesnt matter i guess but curiousity is getting the best of me.

If I remember correctly, at about 15weeks old, you can double the puppies current weight and that will give a good idea of how much the dog will weigh as an adult. I think it is at 15 weeks, but I am not 100% sure. Anyone else know this "rule of thumb"?

But at this age, I dont think there is an accurate way to tell how big they will be as adults.
