A show bred Labrador should fit the breed standard for height and in the UK that is 21.5 to 22 inches to the withers. Weight can vary so much and should be judged more by feel that on the scales. If you are in the US the breed standard there says 21.5 to 23.5 for a bitch and lists a weight of 55 to 70Lbs

PS. The weight you have been told is not far away but really should be nearer the bottom of that scale. My Anna is a very big bitch, very well muscled and weights in at 35Kg. You will find extremely few who are not fat who weigh more and quite a few who are fat who weigh less!
