Size and weight?

So as some of you may know, I recently welcomed a sheltie to our home. He just turned 17 weeks so he still has a ways to go before he matures but I have started wondering about what he will look like when he grows up. Based on the dimensions, it looks like he should grow to between 13-16 inches.

Of course, I measured Russell last week (at 16 wks) and he was already 13 inches (and 11 lbs and change). So perhaps I have a taller on on my hands? Speaking of which, 13 inches seems really small to me.

Anyway, I am curious about the dimensions of everyone else's pup and whether it looks like mine will be on the taller side.
 
Willow is seventeen weeks and thirteen pounds. I'm not sure how tall she is. The vet says she's the right weight for her size so I won't be surprised if she ends up on the larger side.

My puppy is 20 weeks old. She’s 13.5 inches at her shoulders and weighs 12.5 pounds. She’s on the tall side based on the Sheltie growth chart.
 
Brodie turns 14 weeks tomorrow and I have been measuring him and weighing him weekly to chart his growth per the bowlingsite growth charts that I printed out from here. http://bowlingsite.mcf.com/size/size.html

Last week he was 11 inches at the shoulder and 7 1/2 lbs. He has followed the same growth curve on the chart since I started tracking him before we brought him home.

I found this info last week which sort of aligns with the bowling site charts. http://www.greyfyreshelties.com/size.html

If both are correct, Brodie should end up about 15" full grown and be in-size. If his weight continues on his curve, he should be about 16 lbs.
