It's impossible to know what the pups will look like as adults. It depends on what the father looked like as well as how dominant his traits are vs moms. That said many mixes will closely resemble one purebred parent. You'll just have to wait and see to find out.

    Cute pups! Without knowing what the father is, it would be hard to tell what the puppies will look like at adult size wise, but as they get a little bigger paw size can sometime be an indicator of adult size. As for looks, their faces will start to change into their adult shapes and coloration as they get a bit older.
