Show Labs generally are thicker set than working Labs. You should be able to guess how big she will be form the size of the Sire and Dam. I presume you have seen both ? I have both types.

I guess she will get to the size of an adult lab bitch :).....presumably you knew what breed she was when you bought her & saw her mother???

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

Regards, John

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!
