What is the largest black labrador ever officially measured?

Answer 1

Ironically, if a golden retriever measures larger than the breed standard as defined by the AKC and other kennel clubs, then the dog is disqualified to show as that breed. The breed standard is this (note that the weight should not exceed 80 lbs.):

Build: Sturdy, well-proportioned; chest and neck are broad Weight: 25-36 kg (55-80 lb) Height: 51-61 cm (20-24 inches) Coat: Double coat, medium-length, feathered, wavy or flat Color: Cream to golden-colored, possibly reddish Head: Broad, with a tapering, but wide, powerful muzzle and clear frontal stop Teeth: Scissors bite Eyes: Kindly and brown with dark rims Ears: Medium-sized and pendant Tail: Long, but never curled Limbs: Thighs are muscular Feet: Round Life span: Median 12-13 years

The question was not "What is the largest Golden Retriever shown?", but "What is the largest Golden Retriever ever officially measured?". Most people can look up what the "Standard" is for any breed. I am curious about the largest Golden Retriever ever measured, too. (Height & length, not weight). My pups vet measures my Golden against a Great Dane's size scale, because he stands 6 feet tall on his hind legs. He's a pure AKC Golden Retriever. He may be too tall (withers) and long to "show", but he's one sleek 120 lb Golden!

how about 140lbs golden retriever in Ontario
