Click to expand... There is no real way at this size. Though There are definate ways to make an educated guess.. Jaw structure, Head slope, Body shape, proportion. Even subtle differences in the Stomache area... That said... The only 100% way is to wait til around 6 inches and sometimes you will not be able to guarantee until around 10"
