Ideal weight

[Snowshoe]

I can't edit my post above but I looked elsewhere and did find this for the Canadian Standard, which is what I thought it was.

Size:Approximate weights of dogs and bitches inworking condition: Dogs 60-75 lb. (27-34 kg);Bitches: 55-70 lb. (25-32 kg). Height at shouldersogs: 22 ½ to 24 ½ inches (57-62 cm); Bitches:21 ½ to 23 ½ inches (54-60 cm)

There's no date on it that I can see but the above seems kind of old format. Any Canadian breeders on here that know if we changed our standard?

ETA: I have no idea how that smiley face got into the quote, it certainly is not on the page I copied and pasted from.

I found Mocha's puppy chart.

10 weeks - 22 pounds
14 weeks - 40 pounds
18 weeks - 58 pounds
22 weeks - 68 pounds

He's gotten as high as 116 pounds - too much. He's now 2 1/2 years old and 98 pounds and looks good. He's also 28" tall at the withers. So, he's a tall boy. You can feel his ribs without too much trouble

People will say "Wow, he's a big dog". No, he's just Mocha.

Whow pretty accurate for Mocha, take the weight at 16 weeks and double. Mocha would have been about 49lbs at 16 according to your numbers, double that and that is 98lbs! The calculation was spot on for you. Which is exactly why I think my little guy is going to max out at 56lbs and which is very light, but he is not that short (22 1/2").

Doubling the 16 week weight would put my puppies at between 60-65 as adults ... Chloe is 63 in perfect condition, so I expect they’ll be about her size. She is 22 inches, at 7 months, Cookie is 20 inches and 54lbs, Sassy is 19 inches and 51lbs.
