weight

I know AKC standards are for the males to weigh 50lbs.What is the average of your males. Our adult male has lost some weight. Physically he is fine and healthy just very active.Just would like to know if it is something I should be concerned about or just let him be what he is???

I just depends upon your dog. If he is on the small side of standard and light boned, 40-45 lbs might be right for him. I own 2 males. One is an 8 yr old, 20" tall and heavy boned. He goes about 47-49 lbs. The other is 17 months, just over 20" tall, moderately boned and weighs about 45 lbs. He hasn't filled out yet, so he may go more when he's all done. I also have an 18" female who weights in at 32 lbs. She's much easier to have on the lap! ;~)
