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.
The AKC's standard weight for a Lab in working condition is approximately: dogs 65 to 80 pounds; bitches 55 to 70 pounds. Labs are a medium sized breed, and too often they have been bred to be far too big, where they would be (if that was the standard, which it isn't) classified as a large breed.
