What is a average weight and size for a 6 month old female lab? I have one that just seems little for her age. Other 6 month old puppies are a lot bigger. Maybe just slow on growing. Thanks for your help

Mine at 6 months and one week was 45 lbs.

Her sister was 42 lbs. a couple days before she was 6 months.

I have a female that will be 2 years old Oct . 5th and she tops the scales at a whopping 40 lbs . But size doesn't matter to me , she has more heart than most and can do the same work !!

I kept a record of mine hoping it could be helpful to someone in the future...I hope this helps..She's a yellow female and is now 10 months old at 62 lbs.
Here's her history:
2 months 2 days: 15lbs
3 months 3 days: 25lbs
3 months 22 days: 30lbs
5 months 0 days: 43lbs
6 months 0 days: 50lbs
7 months 6 days: 57lbs
10 months 0 days: 62lbs and still growing...

LOL i thougt the the same thing about mine Blk F. She is small like her father but not too small. She is 8mths and is around 40lbs. I figure she will top out around 55lbs. Perfect size for me and she retrieved a dead goose the other day so small in weight but really muscular in stature. Her father is the same way. I trained with a male her same age before she went off to training and he was twice her size! I prefer 60lbs over 90lbs personally

My male was just over 60#'s at 6 months. He will be 7 months next week and will probably be just under 70 #'s. The problem is that he is a puppy, but doesn't look like it. There is a female in the neighborhood that is a week older than him, but about half his size.

Here is the weight chart I have kept. She was the smallest in her litter and looks to be on track to be about 60 pounds using the formula of doubling her weight at 4 months.

5/02/2009 7 Weeks 8.5
5/07/2009 8 Weeks 9.3
5/18/2009 9 Weeks 12.87
6/04/2009 12 Weeks 18.18
6/19/2009 14 Weeks 22.18
7/02/2009 16 Weeks 28.1
7/09/2009 17 Weeks 29.5
8/10/2009 21 Weeks 36.5
9/14/2009 26 Weeks 45.2

Don has been trying to slim down our 2 female black Labs. They are big girls. They were weighed on our vet's scale last week:

Ruby, 4 yrs old, a svelte 77 lbs. (she was 81 lbs.)
Sally (her daughter) 13 mo. old, 72 lbs. (she was 74 lbs.). It's hard to tell them apart. Tall, muscular, and very athletic.

Sally has some big brothers who at 13 mo. weigh over 80 lbs. They are not fat. They are just big boys. Our Labs are from "big dog genes".
