Weimaraner Weight Chart & Growth Guide

Q: How much should a Weimaraner weigh?

Most adult male Weimaraners weigh 70-90 lb, and most adult females weigh 55-75 lb. The healthy number depends on height, sex, rib feel, waist, muscle, activity, stool, appetite, and veterinary body-condition guidance.

Q: How much should a 6-month-old Weimaraner weigh?

A 6-month Weimaraner is often around 44-58 lb for a male and 38-50 lb for a female. Use that as a planning range, then check ribs, tuck-up, stool, appetite, movement, and growth trend.

Q: When do Weimaraners stop growing?

Many Weimaraners are near adult height by 12-15 months, but chest, muscle, coordination, and mature condition can keep developing through about 18-24 months.

Q: Is 90 lb normal for a Weimaraner?

Yes, 90 lb can be normal for a tall male Weimaraner if ribs are easy to feel, the waist and tuck-up are present, muscle is firm, and movement is comfortable.

Q: Is 100 lb too heavy for a Weimaraner?

A 100 lb Weimaraner needs a body-condition check. Some unusually tall, muscular dogs may sit above the common range, but soft ribs, no waist, poor stamina, or joint strain suggest too much weight.

Q: Why does my Weimaraner look skinny or ribby?

Weimaraners are sleek, short-coated, athletic dogs, so some rib outline can be normal. Sharp hips, spine, low energy, poor appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, or weight loss are reasons to call your vet.

Q: Can a female Weimaraner weigh 75 lb?

Yes, 75 lb is at the upper end of the official female range. It is healthiest when the dog is tall enough, muscular, clearly waisted, and moving comfortably.

Q: How much should a 12-month-old Weimaraner weigh?

A 12-month male is often around 65-85 lb, while a female is often around 52-70 lb. Some still need time to finish muscle and chest through the second year.

Q: Do exercise and training treats affect Weimaraner weight?

Yes. Weimaraners are active and trainable, so reward-heavy sessions, chews, field work, long hikes, or quiet weeks can all change the chart. Count treats and recheck portions when routines change.

Q: When should I call the vet about my Weimaraner's weight?

Call your vet if weight changes quickly, appetite drops, vomiting or diarrhea continues, limping appears, stamina falls, or your dog has a swollen abdomen, unproductive retching, drooling, restlessness, weakness, or collapse.

Updated weekly

Weimaraners grow into sleek, muscular sporting dogs with high stamina and a deep chest. This guide connects the weight chart with rib and waist checks, exercise load, food rewards, and the difference between healthy athletic condition and a dog becoming too soft or too sharp.

A healthy Weimaraner should look athletic, strong, and clearly waisted.

Quick answers

Weimaraner weight quick answers

Use these answers when you need the practical version first. The right Weimaraner weight is the number on the scale plus height, sex, sleek muscle, rib feel, tuck-up, stamina, stool, appetite, recovery, and veterinary context.

Adult range

Males are 70-90 lb; females are 55-75 lb

AKC lists male Weimaraners at 25-27 inches and 70-90 lb, and females at 23-25 inches and 55-75 lb. A healthy adult should look powerful, smooth, and clearly waisted, not bulky or soft.

Growth timing

Many are near adult height by 12-15 months

A Weimaraner may look tall and close to adult size around the first birthday, but chest, muscle, coordination, and mature condition often keep settling through about 18-24 months.

Build check

Sleek is normal; sharp is not

The breed standard emphasizes grace, speed, stamina, deep chest, and tuck-up. A visible athletic outline can be correct, but sharp hips, spine, low energy, poor appetite, or diarrhea are not normal.

Deep chest

Feeding and bloat signs matter

Because Weimaraners are deep-chested, owners should take sudden abdominal swelling, unproductive retching, drooling, restlessness, weakness, or collapse seriously and seek emergency veterinary care.

Weight by age

Weimaraner Weight Chart by Age

Weimaraner puppies grow into tall, gray, deep-chested sporting dogs with a smooth short coat and an athletic waist. The best trend is steady large-breed growth toward the official adult range without losing rib feel, muscle, stamina, stool quality, or comfortable movement.

Use this chart as owner planning context, not a diagnosis. Sex, height, frame, family line, food amount, training rewards, activity, growth spurts, stool, appetite, hip comfort, thyroid status, eyes, heart, and your veterinarian decide the healthy target for an individual dog.

Age	Male / Larger Frame	Female / Smaller Frame
8 weeks	12-17 lb (5.4-7.7 kg)	10-15 lb (4.5-6.8 kg)
3 months	22-32 lb (10-14.5 kg)	18-28 lb (8.2-12.7 kg)
4 months	32-43 lb (14.5-19.5 kg)	27-37 lb (12.2-16.8 kg)
5 months	40-52 lb (18.1-23.6 kg)	33-45 lb (15-20.4 kg)
6 months	44-58 lb (20-26.3 kg)	38-50 lb (17.2-22.7 kg)
8 months	52-68 lb (23.6-30.8 kg)	45-58 lb (20.4-26.3 kg)
10 months	58-76 lb (26.3-34.5 kg)	50-64 lb (22.7-29 kg)
12 months	65-85 lb (29.5-38.6 kg)	52-70 lb (23.6-31.8 kg)
15 months	70-90 lb (31.8-40.8 kg)	55-75 lb (24.9-34 kg)
18 months	70-90 lb (31.8-40.8 kg)	55-75 lb (24.9-34 kg)
21 months	70-90 lb (31.8-40.8 kg)	55-75 lb (24.9-34 kg)
24 months	70-90 lb (31.8-40.8 kg)	55-75 lb (24.9-34 kg)

Maturity

When Does a Weimaraner Stop Growing?

Weimaraners are large athletic dogs, so height, chest, muscle, and coordination do not all finish at the same time. A young dog can look tall but still be immature in strength and body condition.

8-16 weeks

Large-breed baseline stage

Record weight, food amount, stool, appetite, breeder notes, vaccines, deworming, play, sleep, and training rewards. Start gentle body-condition checks early so ribs and waist become normal to monitor.

4-6 months

Fast height and appetite phase

Growth can feel sudden. Keep meals measured, avoid pushing for bulk, and watch for limping, loose stool, poor appetite, or a puppy becoming round through the waist.

6-12 months

Leggy adolescent phase

Many Weimaraners look tall, narrow, and ribby while coordination and muscle catch up. Judge the trend by ribs, waist, thigh muscle, stamina, stool, and recovery rather than by weight alone.

12-24 months

Adult condition settles

Height may be mostly there, but chest, shoulder, loin, and thigh muscle can keep maturing. Filling out should mean athletic muscle and stamina, not a lost tuck-up or padded ribs.

Key takeaway

Do not feed a sleek dog into a bulky one

A correct Weimaraner should be strong, smooth, and athletic. Use body condition, muscle, movement, and vet checks before deciding a lean young dog simply needs more food.

Growth check

Signs Your Weimaraner Is Growing Well

A good Weimaraner trend is steady, athletic, and comfortable. The short coat makes body changes easier to see, but it can also make normal rib visibility feel alarming to new owners.

Good signs

Weight rises gradually without sudden jumps after food changes, training classes, reward-heavy sessions, or quieter weeks.
Ribs are easy to feel with light pressure, the waist is visible from above, and the abdomen has a natural tuck-up.
The dog looks sleek and muscular rather than round, with firm shoulder, loin, and thigh muscle developing over time.
Movement is easy and ground-covering, with no repeated limping, stiffness, reluctance to exercise, or poor recovery after age-appropriate activity.
Appetite, stool, hydration, sleep, energy, skin, coat, and mood stay consistent.

Needs monitoring

Ribs disappear under soft padding, the waist becomes straight, or the deep chest blends into a soft belly.
A young dog looks sharp through ribs, spine, hips, or shoulders and also has low energy, poor appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, or dull coat.
Weight jumps when training treats, chews, table food, peanut butter, or lower exercise weeks enter the routine.
The dog limps, bunny-hops, avoids stairs, tires unusually fast, or seems sore after normal play.
Sudden abdominal swelling, retching without vomit, drooling, restlessness, weakness, or collapse appears.

Owner check

Use scale, hands, and recovery together

For a Weimaraner, the most useful check is weight plus ribs, waist, tuck-up, muscle, stool, appetite, exercise load, training rewards, and recovery.

What this means

How to read this graph for Weimaraner

Use the male line for male puppies and the female line for female puppies, because Weimaraner dogs often grow at different rates through the first year.
Month-to-month progress matters more than one high or low weigh-in, especially during the faster early-growth months.
Use the live calculator after repeat weigh-ins, then compare the result back to this breed-specific chart to confirm the trend is still moving steadily.

When to re-check

<16 w weekly | 16-32 w biweekly | 32 w+ monthly

Re-check a Weimaraner every 2 to 4 weeks during growth, and sooner after changes in food, exercise, training, or appetite.
