The males I have owned (3) have ranged in weight from 158 to 193. Breccan, current and a rescue, is the lightest. He is 32.5 inches tall and built quite narrow for a Saint. My opinion is to be more concerned about proportion than overall weight. About how much weight is healthy for the heighth, joint and bone structure of the particular dog. Have the parents both been OFA'd? What were the results? While pups are growing it is much better for their ultimate health to be kept on the trim side. Especially if there is a chance of possible hip/elbow dysplasia to any degree. Congratulation s on your new pup. Post pictures soon!!
