I've looked through the search bar and didn't find the thing I was looking for. They were either on how much their dog should weigh or they are losing weight or need to gain weight. That is not my question. What I'm asking for, is how much everyones dogs weigh. I am being serious. It seems to me that my male dog is the smallest in weight when it comes to the GSD. He is VERY muscular and very fast. I have not met a dog that could out run him.(besides the hounds...) Anyways, I see all of these working GSD's and they are huge compare to my boy. He is a mix of American working/German working bloodlines. He's very tall, long, and thin. I was wanting to know how much your dog's weigh now. Even if they are puppys. Now Isa, she is German Showlines.
Cody's weight: about 66lbs
Isa's weight: 54lbs
PHOTOS REMOVED...Pictures only allowed in Bio section, thanks!
Honestly, is his weight because of his different bloodline mix? He's perfect weight and you can't see his ribs but you can feel them easily.

Mine looks very much like yours in body type. However, his lineage is unknown, and in fact I can't swear that he's 100% GSD. He appears to be. And he weighs 59.5 lbs. His ribs are easily felt and not easily seen, which I believe is good.
I'm pretty sure photos are supposed to go in "member bio" section, BTW. Your dog is handsome!
Don't worry about your dog's weight. If that is him in those pics, he looks just fine. As long as you can feel most of the ribs and the spine (though not necessarily see them) and he has a defined "waist", then he is at his ideal weight, no matter how tall/short he is.
My 3yr. old female must be a giant! She stands 24.5 at the withers and weighs 90lbs. Not an ounce of fat and runs all day.She has a defined waist and you can feel her ribs.100%GSD.Why so big!
My 20 mo male (west german working lines) is very tall (over breed standard) lanky, can feel ribs (not see) and he weighs no more then 85 pounds (83 last vet visit)
I can't tell by the picture of your first dog but the second dog looks like a good weight . I like to see a little rib on my working dogs . My Czech/W.German GSD is usually around 80lbs. Tall and long . He's one of the biggest dogs now in our K9 Unit . Most are around 70lbs.
Funny thing about most of the male Police Dog Handlers I know . You could tell them their wife is fat and it wouldn't be a big deal but tell them their dog is fat and you better duck .
My male, showline GSD is about 85 lbs (weighed a bit less last time we weighed him), but he's probably near the limit in height and is quite lean. I keep thinking he may gain a couple of pounds of muscle this year, though, I don't expect he'd ever be over 90.
