It all depends on the mother and father's parents. If the parents are average sized, there's a good chance that the puppy will be the same, and if they are little so will the puppy be.
The father is a Sire. The mother is a Dam (dame)
Puppies are just like humans but, a little different. Puppies are born from there mother just like us, we are 75% water & 25% meat.
Excercise caution depending on the breed of the father. Some animals will kill their young if they detect any signs of weakness from birth. However, if you keep the dog away from the puppies, it may become agitated to the point of attacking you or the mother, or anything nearby. In short; let the father with the puppies and the mother, yet be very vigilant and if the father begins showing signs of aggression, separate them immediately.

Dogs have many ways to protect their puppies. Their first step is a preventative measure, which is digging a hole or trying to find a hiding spot to "nest." They will also protect their puppies by attacking other animals that they feel are threatening them or their puppies. That is why it is important for a dog to trust you if you plan to help them deliver puppies.

There is no sure way to determine what color a mother dog's puppies will be based on the color of her coat. The color of the father dog's coat can not be a way to determine the color of a puppy's fur either.
If the puppies are with the mother then you should keep them with her until 8 weeks of age. The mother will instinctively wean the puppies on her own, but you may need to help her by removing her from the puppies. The puppies can technically be taken away after 6 weeks, but the longer the puppies are with the mother the better because they will learn from their mother.
