Hi all,

I wanted some general guidance regarding the weight of my GSD Ellie. I rescued Ellie from a shelter in 2013. She was 11 mo and 75 lbs.

She is 25" at the withers and currently 2.3 years and 97 lbs.

The vet has said she is fine and not over weight. However, I wanted opinions from those who deal more exclusively in GSDs and know more about the breed.

Thanks :)

Wowza. My 5 year old male is 28" at the withers and 85 pounds.

Can you post photos of her please?

from the top she should have an hour glass shape, and you should be able to feel the last 2 ribs somewhat easily when you run your hands down her sides

Miss Ellie is a fine looking gal.....she certainly isn't obese or skinny....looks "solid". But a pic from the top is more telling....looking for those "curves"...

I do agree with the MIKKO....leaner is so much better for them rather than carrying any unneeded weight....
