    Hi there,

    Our puppy was a healthy weight according to our vet when we took him in for a wellness check after we brought him home a few weeks ago. But he is gaining weight fast and having some digestive issues so we are going to start being pretty precise about feeding. His father is 34 kg and his mother is 55 kg. This would have his goal weight being somewhere around 29.5 kg. But he looks like he's on track to achieve his dad's goal weight according to all of the weigh-ins we have given him. Do other factors, such as gender, play a role in weight?

    Thanks!

    Think you probably mean the mum is 25kg!
    Bitches tend to be on the smaller size but not always.
