His parents' mature weight and growth pattern of his bloodlines might give you some info too...Does his bloodline grow early and then level off, or do their puppies grow at a slow and steady pace, taking a long time to mature.
This chart might give you some help.
A very general rule of thumb is about 10 pounds per month....according to that, 45 pounds at 19 weeks (4.5 months--months aren't actually only 4 weeks long) would be an average size. But who out there is average?
