| What is standard weight for a female?
I looked at the akc page and didn't find a weight I found a height. My girl is spayed and will not be bred. She is suffering from HD and her markings aren't perfect but WE love her very much. I am just wondering what the standard says her weight should be. Is it ok to keep her on the lighter side to help out her hips as long as she doesn't look too skinny? If she had it her way she would eat all the time but I want to keep her as comfortable as possible for as long as possible. I just don't want to hurt her health by making her too skinny either. She weighs 76 pounds right now and is 15 months old. The vet says she is a "great weight" but she should fill out some. Can I keep her right about 76 or should I let her gain a little weight as she gets older?
