Weight of German Shepherd Dog

Question
I have a two-year old Sable German Shepherd and wanted to know what his ideal weight should be at 2 years old.

Answer
That depends on too many things for me, or anybody else, to say.  Shepherds seldom run fat.  Chances are, if his ribs don't show much, he is fine.  If you can really see them, better talk to the vet.  Here is a link to help you judge him, http://www.longliveyourdog.com/twoplus/RateYourDog.aspx  If a dog is on the thin side and won't eat any more, and you are feeding a meat based chow, it may be best to leave well enough alone.
