How big should a 4 month old female Rough Collie puppy be?

I am just curious how big a 4 month old Rough Collie puppy should be. Both parents of my puppy are insize, but my mother made a comment about her being small. It has been sooo long since I have had a Collie puppy that I don't really know what the average size for one is. At 13.5 weeks, she weighed 16.4lbs. I am hoping that someone that breeds Collies will see this.

Well my shelties were a pound per week, so at 13 weeks, they weighed 13 pounds. Since Collies are a larger breed, I would think 16 pounds would be about right.

The weight standard is at 3mo to triple the weight or 4mo double the weight for adult weight but this formula doesn't work as well for large breeds.(better on small- med.) There isn't a standard weight & some pups are late bloomers so it's hard to guess & collies can range in size esp. between the sexes. You can't change her size anyway.

I have a 2 year old rough collie and she is gorgeous, preferably a female adult rough collie should weigh around 20kgs and be 51-56 cms (20-22 ins) in height.
