Weight and height Golden Retriever 7 months

Question
Hello,
Could you tell what the average weight and height for a 7 month old Golden Retriever is?  I am just curious to see where my male G.R. should be.  Thanks,   Jami

Answer
Averages mean little.  At 7 months, he is nearing his adult size.  You should switch him to adult chow if not already to slow growth.  Even large breed puppy chows are too rich allowing the body to outpace the sturdy joints.  Worse yet for the joints is an overweight puppy.  For a good guide to how much you should be feeding see http://www.puppychow.com/products/popup_body_condition.aspx
