A purebred adult male Lab really shouldn't weight more than about 75 pounds; a female no more than about 70. You can decide if your Lab is the right weight this way: look at the dog from the top: his or her waist (between the ribs and hips) should be distinct. When you run your fingers along the rib cage, you should be able to FEEL ribs, but standing back you should NOT be able to SEE ribs. If you can see ribs, the Lab is too light. If you can't see a waist, the Lab is too heavy.
