German Shepherd weight chart

Albert Pallé on 01/07/2020

It is very important to keep your German Shepherd at an adequate weight. Unless your vet advises otherwise, you should try and keep your dog in the weight-range typical for his or her breed and gender

By analyzing thousands of data points, we created the real-life German Shepherd weight distribution chart. For a typical female, the weight ranges from 31kg to 37kg and for a male from 32Kg to 39kg. That is, 68lbs to 81lbs for females and 71lbs to 86lbs for males.

The chart presents the percentage of the population that falls in a specific range. For example, the German Shepherd weight is such that approximately 50% of the male dogs have a weight between 30kg and 40kg (between 66.1lbs and 88.2lbs) and 40% of the female dogs have a weight between 35kg and 45kg  (between 77.2lbs and 99.2lbs).
