these weight threads always drive me nuts...

It does not matter what your dog weighs - the number is of no consequence.
LOOK at the dog's physique! Do you easily feel/see the last couple of ribs? Can you see a nice firm back? Is the underline tucked in nicely? Is the skin firm and taut? Is the chest tight and firm? If no, dog is probably carrying extra weight. Go by the feel and look of the dog - numbers are useless. She will be what she will be - feed her the least amount she needs to maintain a good weight. Keep these dogs lean - you can't imagine what a difference it makes...
