puppies and parents resemblance (in appearance)

[greekblue]

Does anyone know about how much should I expect my female puppy to resemble her parents?
Looking her mom or dad, should I expect to see a very close resemblance (in appearance, not temperament) of how my female puppy will look when she gets older? Do female puppies look more like their mom and male puppies look more like their dad? Does it work the same way it works for humans? Also, I think I have read that the puppies as adults usually have a weight between that of their parents. Is that true?

you can tell approx size of a puppy by parents, but it goes far beyond that, look into the grand parents, great grand parents, and so on, you will get a general idea. Nothing is set in stone with genetics

Like Rottielover has mentioned, look back further into what the grandparents and great grandparents look like, that will give you a general idea. My in case, my puppy or now teenager, has more facial features of her mother but I've been told by a lot of people that she's built like a tank (she's not fat or getting fat, just has a very solid build to her). I guess to me that would mean she's built like her father.
