According to the AKC breed standard, female Labrador retrievers may weigh from 55 to 70 pounds, while males may weigh from 65 to 80 pounds. No formula can predict a puppy's weight with complete accuracy. Early illness and nutritional deficits can cause a puppy not to grow to her genetic potential.
Labrador Retrievers typically grow up to 24 inches. Male Labradors are bigger than female Labradors. Generally, a non-overweight female Labrador will be between 21.5-23.5 inches and weigh between 55-70 pounds. A full-grown, non-overweight male Labrador will be 22.5-24 inches and weigh between 65-80 pounds. But diet can greatly impact how big a Lab can get.
