Dog Breed Weight Calculator — Is My Dog the Right Weight for Its Breed?

Breed clubs publish the adult weight they expect for each breed, and the American Kennel Club collects those figures. This calculator compares your dog’s weight with the AKC range for its breed — and for selected breeds, its sex — and tells you whether it sits below, inside or above that range, in pounds or kilograms. A full chart of 50+ breeds is shown underneath.

How to use this tool

1. Choose the breed and your dog’s sex.
2. Pick pounds or kilograms and enter your adult dog’s weight.
3. Read whether the weight is within the breed range and by how much it is over or under.
4. Check the body condition as well — a scale alone cannot tell muscle from fat.

Formula

Over by = weight − range maximum

Under by = range minimum − weight

Position in range (%) = (weight − minimum) ÷ (maximum − minimum) × 100

Ranges use AKC overview and breed figures; 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg. Maximum-only breeds have no reference minimum, not an unlimited healthy range. Selected breeds use separate male and female figures; others retain the overview chart’s combined range, which can differ from more specific breed information.

Example

The Labrador standard asks for 65–80 lb in males and 55–70 lb in females. A female Lab weighing 75 lb is 5 lb above the top of her range — 7.1% over. A male at the same 75 lb is comfortably inside his range, two-thirds of the way up.
