Question
I have a 9 month old female lab, what is the weight and height she should be at? I got her from a breeder @ 8wks old.

Answer
Her height could vary over a wide range.  Likely she has 80-90% of her adult height now.  She will continue growing, maybe into her second year, but very slowly.  Her body shape will change becoming more broad in her second year while maintaining abou tthe same weight.  Weight varies even more.  I can give you a link to a guide to determine her body condition and once you check her, you can adjust her food and exercise as needed to keep her lean and healthy http://www.longliveyourdog.com/twoplus/RateYourDog.aspx
You should have her in for a one year check up.  Have the vet confirm your judgment of her body condition then.
