Females are smaller, 12.5 – 16 ins (35.6 – 40.6 cm) and 25 – 35 lbs (11.4 – 15.9 kg). Although against the true form and function of the breed, some field trial breeders are increasing their line’s size to be competitive against other retriever breeds. Buyers should be aware of the size and weight in the puppy’s pedigree before choosing a breeder if size is a factor in their choice of dog.
