That depends on her height and her build, not on her age. Looking at her from the side, you should see a nice tuck up in her abdomen between the last rib and her hind legs. Looking down on her from above, you should see a definite waistline (hourglass shape) behind the ribcage to her hip bones. When you run your hands along her sides, you should easily feel her ribs with no more than light pressure. If your dog meets these guidelines, then her weight is correct......no matter what her actual weight is on the scale.
