She didnt see the parents when they were puppies.Not all goldens are big some can be 60 pounds some can be 80 pounds. All she wanted to know is if its small for its age or not... And yes for some goldens that is normal, it depends on the dog some have growing spurts at different times, it will be hard to tell his/her full size until about 2 yrs old.
