I think My golden is a runt

[daisybee]

Thanks k9krazee, the chart is exactly what I was looking for and I guess at the rate he's going, he won't be very big. Am I aloud to hope for a growth spurt?

My brother and sister-in-law got a new golden who was about a year old when they got him. (they have had Casey for about a year now) They went to a breeder but I don't know anything about that information. He is small for a golden in heighth and therefore weight also. It was the only dog the breeder had available then and since they just wanted a dog to love (and that does not mean that you did not) they took him. The breeder, of course, couldn't use him to breed since he was on the small size but he was perfect for what they wanted - a golden to love. (this is their second golden) But since they got him as an adult, I can't tell you about size as he grew.

My golden is very large (95 lbs, his dad was 85), but many very nice looking goldens are smaller--there is really quite a range (the 60-75 you were quoted was more the average, not the true range). The smaller ones seem to have fewer hip and arthritis problems, so it might work to your advantage...just don't let your dog get fat in hopes it will make him grow bigger...

Goldens are magnificant, goofy, loving dogs no matter their size.

My litter of pups are now alittle over 4 months if im correct and they are about 40 some pounds atleast 3 of them are that I know of so there is a chance they can be big pups and their parents are not huge, their mom is only about 60 to 65 pounds right now I bet..
