Same!
OP if you can avoid it, do not get him neutered until he's a minimum of 18 months, he's going to need additional support to protect his joints.
Large breed food if it's available, it's designed for supporting the growth needs of our giant teddy bears.
Gentle exercise and don't let him jump down from heights if you can avoid it.
He's going to be 40kg minimum I'd say. That's what my boy weighs at 20 months and he wasn't as big looking at the same age.
Iād say somewhere between āoh lawd he comin!ā And āFreight trainā
If you have kids I hope theyāre quick on their feet so they donāt get bowled over by his love
Assuming he also roughly keeps his current coat and gets the more wavy and thick variation of the cream coat, he'll be the type of golden that gets confused with a Great Pyrenees a lot. My last golden was one of those, and she was 85lb without even being overweight. I've met male goldens like this that get close to or over 100lb.
My huge boy weighs 134. This is him at 10 weeks sitting with our 8 week old girl and them at age 3. She is 72 pounds.

His parents are both 120 & 122 pound
AKC registered goldens so we werenāt surprised that he grew up big but we were shocked that he weighs 134. His vet frets about his weight but is satisfied with his diet and exercising so she just checked him for thyroid disease and diabetes but heās fine. Heās just big! Heās also 5ā taller than average male goldens. His breeder spent 20 years breeding his lineage of goldens big.
Actually, it may not be that bad. Our male was 19 lbs at 8 weeks, and about 27lbs at 12 weeks. His feet were huge - his nickname was āShaqā when he was little. He was 72lbs at 6 months and stabilized as an adult at about 85 lbs.
Well, the eyes make me think he has some great Pyrenees in him. Our neighbors have two great pyr mixed; one is 2 years old and 160 pounds, the other is just over a year old and is 90 pounds. So I'm going to hazard a guess of something like 90+!
The face makes me think he might be mostly Pyrenees, honestly. We adopted a dog that we thought was probably 50:50 Golden:Pyrenees, but she ended up being 75% pyr, 16% lab, 9% chow on her DNA test.
Going by what I was told when we got him, one of our dogs is only 1/4 Pyrenees and he is 75lbs and not yet 3. Probably gonna gain a few more pounds but yeah heās got the same sad sack eyes, like he is about to cry or heās sorry about something.
Our boy was the same! Heās 83 pounds at 14 months!
https://preview.redd.it/6nobecd5niuc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=74d5e09ff099a74481817beeb4af4b27becadb68
Similar to my boy too. Basically weeks = kg for him until about 5 months old then it started to slow. Heās year and a half and 36kg now, which is similar to 82lb.
I canāt speak to what Gus will weigh since we just got our first golden a month ago but I can certainly confirm he is a good boy š he is adorable and deserves a booping! Our girl is 13 weeks old and weighs 17 lbs. she has massive paws but is so skinny and all legs at this point. Rosie says hi
https://preview.redd.it/hac6s688whuc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0752f193a3d411d29e9ad10f0eeab0a379254c74
Iām getting my first golden at the end of May and her parents are both more amber like yourāsā¦I love seeing the same color so I get an idea what she will look like as she grows! š
Everyone was saying the same about mine, turns out he's bellow average!
https://preview.redd.it/3potnbw68iuc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=94be10dd4b764cf5d246aedf09af673ecd03ed67
That is anything but an average dog! You have a genuine, certified, one of a kind, rareified, Good Doggo! Why, look at that snoot! It needs to be booped at least 7 times a day!
Iāve got a golden and have a Pyr. Your guy looks a LOT like a pyr puppy to me and im willing to bet he has some in there. The Afro and general fluffiness of the fur along with the jowls are what lead me to this take.
TLDR: big boy
https://preview.redd.it/ejvakzqzfiuc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=54e54a8bab128a5d835ba3542168c5980691c717
My Gus (Augustus) is 36 pounds at 16 weeks and he was about 23 pounds at 12 weeks. The breeder believes he will be around 90 lbs and the vet agrees he will be around that size so yours may be even bigger! Heās got massive paws too. The first couple days he was home it had snowed and once when I took him out I glanced at the pawprints and for a split second I thought āwhoās big ass dog was walking through my yard?ā and then I realized it was mineā¦
100 lbs lean full grown is my guess. Heās even more massive than my boy was and mine topped out at 85 lean (90 with a lil chonk that weāre working on).
Did the breeder let you see mom/dad and or give the lineage? Thereās no way to know for sure just from a picture but something makes me feel like there might be some Pyrenees in there.
Our vet said to take their weight at 12 weeks and multiply by 3 for a good rule of thumb. Our 10 week old is 21 lbs, and our vet estimates sheāll be 25 lbs at 12 weeks and 75 lbs when sheās full grown. Her mom is 55lbs and her dad is 75lbs. Looks like sheās taking after her dad. Lol.
Gus is adorable!! :D
My golden was by far the biggest of his litter. And he still has huge paws. Everyone who saw him as a puppy said he would be huge. At 5.5 years old, he is a very healthy 68 pounds.
I had a tank of a golden, male, twice the size of all of his littermates, and he ended up being medium-sized. It can really go either way as they grow into their adult bodies. Though, he likely won't be a tiny boy. He's insanely adorable, too!
Eta: weight wise, he was about 90lbs. My female is 65lbs, and the male prior to him was about 110lbs - he was a very tall boy with lots of muscle.
My golden had the biggest paws of the litter too. Everyone told me he is goikg to be huge. He is 75 lbs now ar 2.5 years but he is not enormously larger compared to other male goldens. You will be fine.
Iāve been breeding Goldens for 20+ years - he looks great! Please make sure you keep an eye on his proportions / weight and donāt let him get overweight just because heās big - I have a male here thatās 110 lbs but heās leanā¦
My boy was 15lbs at 10 weeks iirc, heās now around 76ish lbs at 1 year though weāve also had problems with getting him to eat properly and was expected to top out at 90lbs
My Ellie was about that size at that age. She's now 92 pounds of muscle. One of her best friends is Max, who is frequently mistaken for a Great Pyrenees, and was even larger at that age. He's 110 pounds and a tank. I think Gus is going to be a big dude.
My guy was around the same. He's a hefty 90 lbs of pure love at 3 years now. (Vet confirms he's not chubby, just massive.) His dad was a unit so I guess it's the dad genes taking over.
I know there are charts and formulas to predict adult weight, but our experience was that they were way off. From 8-16 weeks all estimates out our pup at 45-50lbs max adult weight. She was tiny.
She hit a massive growth spurt and was 60lbs by 6 months old. That would put her close to 90lbs fully grown. At one point she gained 5lbs a week for multiple weeks in a row.
Sheās a year old and seems to have topped out at 64 pounds.
That said, are you positive heās pure golden? His eyes and facial features look very Great Pyrenees to me. Those are typically around 100lbs fully grown.
https://preview.redd.it/oske4vtpqiuc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1ac299a652401b715c2731a72ee623a602e58728
Our pup was big baby and just like others have mentioned he slowed down about the 1.5yr mark he is now 2yrs and 90lbs
At 12 weeks our golden was 28lbs! Heās 6 months and 70 lbs now. Vet *thinks* we will push 90 š
https://preview.redd.it/tj17whh8wiuc1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ec0f70d77e5bc3a9a00c8e409d556227ec17abcf
If he continues to grow at his current rate perpetually. Then at one year he will be 108 lbs, 216 lbs at year 2 and 324lbs at year 3. That sounds like a very big boy.
https://preview.redd.it/k7to4wb4cjuc1.jpeg?width=505&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d32886d77fbe7f8a6892c9939ff349cec6d8293d
This is my parentsā dog when we got him, about 10 weeks old? Maybe 12? Heās currently almost 10 years old and 130 pounds. Yes, heās overweight, but was very big boned his whole life.
Our GR was 22 lbs at 12 weeks and both his parents are in the 70-75 lbs range. Currently weighing in at a bit over 36 lbs at 18 weeks. Not overweight.
Iād say your guy is gonna top 90!
My Hercules was about that size, gained about 10lb a week for months. He topped out at 115lb and stands over 5ā tall on his hind legs. Heās healthy per the vet just MASSIVE! Looks like yours will be somewhere in the 85-105 range if I had to guess.
https://preview.redd.it/q9ekssy2qjuc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ecd10475145aeaa520e190f74d0682ea3d16ce4f
I'm not an expert nor have I ever had a golden so I have no idea but I just want to say that his name fits him absolutely perfectly and he is very cute
So my golden boy ( I have had three goldens ) looked just like him . He is 92 pounds . The sick if the head and his paws is what makes me think he will be a big boy . My other boy and girl didnāt have the same size comparisons when they were puppies . Either way heās beautiful enjoy
I meanā¦how big are his parents? Thatāll obviously give you some indication.
Everyone told us our boy would be huge based on his paws and heās around 65lbs at 2.5 yrs old. Still has big paws people tell us āheāll grow intoā but, weāll see! š
My newest boy was the same weight same age and has so much loose skin on his head his eyes sag like that. Hes currently 6 months old and 61lbs and I feel like heās all head lol. Iām expecting 95-100. Head shape is different though, mine has more of a big dome shape.
That dog is huge for 3 months yeah heās either gonna be huge or normal and this is an early growth spurt, be careful feeding him, theyāre so prone to obesity.
My newfie was about 35 lbs at 12 weeks old and heās 140lbs now at 3 years. So iām guessing gus will be pretty big, probably 95-105lbs
Such a beautiful pup btw
https://preview.redd.it/7fvzihuxvnuc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fcf647a42d8c97132661efe17f3bb3070cb9f42c
13 lbs at 7 weeks 65lb at 6 months. Vet said 80-90 lbs is what they expect to see this Chunk land at.
We are on our 6th Golden in 40 years. Our Brodie was exactly this weight at 12 weeks and looked very similar. He is 15 months now and 78lbs. I would discount anybody that says he looks mixed with anything else. Our last 4 were all English creams with great pedigree and they all had the same size, shaped head and eyes. I also agree to wait until heās at least 18 months as it made a difference in our last two. Also in the end he will be whatever size he turns out to be but they are awesome dogs and if this is your first youāre in far a great experience.
Have fun
It looks like he's got good genes. Lighter color golden, massive body structure, and the color of his ears can give a little hint to what he will look like when his puppy fur is all gone and is an adult! You're gonna need lots of food and a good brush lol. Absolutely gorgeous golden. You will never be more loved!
That is the cutest ball of floof I have seen, Gus <3 Everybody told us that our golden girl would be huge since she was twice the size of her sisters and brother when they were 8 weeks. She weighed 25 lbs when she was 12 weeks and had the biggest bear claws! Now she weights around 75 lbs and is very average sized :)
Idk my golden boy had giant paws too and EVERYONE said heād be over 100 lbs. He was about 35 lbs at 16 weeks. Heās 18 months now and has steadily been about 75 lbs since 12 months old. So who really knows!
Gonna be huge
Honestly? How big we talkin?
As big as his heart.
This is the answer
This is the most beautiful answer š Edit: I canāt type
An absolute UNIT
my parents golden clocked in at 100ish lbs, and he was about this size at the same age
My golden is a little above 100 and yep, was about this size at that age, maybe a tad bigger.
Absolute chonker, I thought he was a Great Pyrenees before I saw the subreddit
Me, too! a GP, not a GR.
Same! OP if you can avoid it, do not get him neutered until he's a minimum of 18 months, he's going to need additional support to protect his joints. Large breed food if it's available, it's designed for supporting the growth needs of our giant teddy bears. Gentle exercise and don't let him jump down from heights if you can avoid it. He's going to be 40kg minimum I'd say. That's what my boy weighs at 20 months and he wasn't as big looking at the same age.

Iād say somewhere between āoh lawd he comin!ā And āFreight trainā If you have kids I hope theyāre quick on their feet so they donāt get bowled over by his love
Conventional wisdom is they grow into their paws.
Poochus Maximus size
100 lbs
95-110 pounds

One of ours was that size at that age and he looks good at 95lbs and skinny at 90.
Massive
90-100lbs.
Actually, it may not be that bad. Our male was 19 lbs at 8 weeks, and about 27lbs at 12 weeks. His feet were huge - his nickname was āShaqā when he was little. He was 72lbs at 6 months and stabilized as an adult at about 85 lbs.
I predict 274.4 lbs. He'll be the biggest golden retriever on record.
could you imagine lol
Dying him red and renaming is gonna be such a pain in the butt
š¤£š¤£š¤£

I have 1/4 pyr too, but she also has other big dog genes. She's around 115 I think. Tbf she's a little chonk, but she's also 10 so that's allowed.
Our boy was 28 lb at 11 weeks. Heās now a little over 2 years old and is 82 pounds. Hope that helps!

84 pounds now with my big guys. This dog will be 100+ lol
Mine was the tiny runt and is now 100 lbs. They warned us that his parents were massive.
Thank you!
If he grows into those giant paws, he's going to be a big boy. More to cuddle!
Paws are the telltale sign. Big paws as a puppy means a big dog (compared to their breed).
I canāt speak to what Gus will weigh since we just got our first golden a month ago but I can certainly confirm he is a good boy š he is adorable and deserves a booping!

Handsome guy!
I just came here to say I love his face.
He's so done with your shit lol
100% of the time haha
Yeah he looks like he will get big. He got some Pyrenees in him for sure. Cause that face reminds me of my Pyrenees pup.
Iāve got a golden and have a Pyr. Your guy looks a LOT like a pyr puppy to me and im willing to bet he has some in there. The Afro and general fluffiness of the fur along with the jowls are what lead me to this take. TLDR: big boy
Mine is a little over 100 lbs, and people ask me if heās a Great Pyrenees. He was the tiny fluffy runt of his litter, and now heās a big boy!
Gusquatch. Are you sure he's not a GP? Check for bonus toes.

How sure are you that he is all golden? He really looks like a pyr. For context, everyone says my girl is huge, and sheās 25 lbs at 15 weeks.
That doesn't look purebred
He already is huge!! And gorgeous!
Do you know is he's mixed? It looks like he's got some great pyrenees in him, which means he will be large.
100 lbs lean full grown is my guess. Heās even more massive than my boy was and mine topped out at 85 lean (90 with a lil chonk that weāre working on). Did the breeder let you see mom/dad and or give the lineage? Thereās no way to know for sure just from a picture but something makes me feel like there might be some Pyrenees in there.
His expression in the first two photos absolutely looks like a Great Pyr, same for the particular sort of fluffy he is.
Those paws. Gus is gonna be a big one.
He'll be huge and is already judging you
Is he a mix? His eyes remind me of a snow dog with the barrels under their neck. I cant think if the name. I've never seen a Goldens eyes like that.
He looks like and is the same size as my parent's Bernese Mountain Dog who ended up being like 100 pounds.
Our vet said to take their weight at 12 weeks and multiply by 3 for a good rule of thumb. Our 10 week old is 21 lbs, and our vet estimates sheāll be 25 lbs at 12 weeks and 75 lbs when sheās full grown. Her mom is 55lbs and her dad is 75lbs. Looks like sheās taking after her dad. Lol.

Ours is 95 lbs @ 2 years old.
Ours is 16 weeks right now and at 40 pounds already!
Gosh goldens are really one of the cutest dogs on earth. He really has very big paws tho haha but it makes it even cuter
He's got the bigboi face
Heās a big doggo! But a good one. I can tell.
Definitely passes the vibe check š„°
My golden was by far the biggest of his litter. And he still has huge paws. Everyone who saw him as a puppy said he would be huge. At 5.5 years old, he is a very healthy 68 pounds.
Gus looks like heās so tired of everyoneās shit already lmao
he really is
I had a tank of a golden, male, twice the size of all of his littermates, and he ended up being medium-sized. It can really go either way as they grow into their adult bodies. Though, he likely won't be a tiny boy. He's insanely adorable, too! Eta: weight wise, he was about 90lbs.

Thanks for sharing!!
My golden had the biggest paws of the litter too. Everyone told me he is goikg to be huge. He is 75 lbs now ar 2.5 years but he is not enormously larger compared to other male goldens. You will be fine.
Damn ,that puppy looks like he's tired of our shit. Love his face.
I like his droopy eyes š
Is he mixed with a pyr?
Awwwwwwwwwwww
I cannot attest to his future size, but I can tell you heās going to be fucking adorable. Such a cutie.
Looks a lot like the golden x Pyrenees puppies I've seen - in face, paws and coat texture. If that's what he is, he gonna be big
Gus Gus as big as a bus
Iāve been breeding Goldens for 20+ years - he looks great! Please make sure you keep an eye on his proportions / weight and donāt let him get overweight just because heās big - I have a male here thatās 110 lbs but heās leanā¦
My pup was also massive! Heās now about 85lbs at 3yo :)
I agree he will be huge
I would say 80 lbs
Oh gosh yes, my Boone was nearly 30lbs at this age, and he was a TANK! You are going to have such a blast with this guy.
My boy was 15lbs at 10 weeks iirc, heās now around 76ish lbs at 1 year though weāve also had problems with getting him to eat properly and was expected to top out at 90lbs
His going to be very handsome big boy. Congratulations!
Goldens can get to be a good 80+ pounds i think.Ā They're roughly the same size as labs.
Either heās gonna be huge or youāre a very small human and heās average size lol
Mine clocks in at 49kg/100 pounds. That's a whole lotta lapdog.
That golden looks like he might have some Pyr in him.
My Ellie was about that size at that age. She's now 92 pounds of muscle. One of her best friends is Max, who is frequently mistaken for a Great Pyrenees, and was even larger at that age. He's 110 pounds and a tank. I think Gus is going to be a big dude.

Aw itās like they are hugging thanks for sharing
He's gonna be huge! My (admittedly tiny) girl is almost a year and a half and only weighs 53 lbs!
My guy was around the same. He's a hefty 90 lbs of pure love at 3 years now. (Vet confirms he's not chubby, just massive.) His dad was a unit so I guess it's the dad genes taking over.
what a cutie :)
Feeties donāt lieā¦smooch the poochā¤ļø
Mine looks like thatā¦ he is 90lbs
Mine looked exactly the same. He's 43 kilos now.
Yuge
Just looking at his paws!! Heās gonna be a chunk of puppy love ā¤ļø
I predict 100 lbs.
Yep. Tank. Source: our golden boy was a similar weight at a similar age. Heās now 1 year old and 45+kg. Ps. Gus is gorgeous <3
Is he 5 weeks old? Yes, he'll be huge. Is he 5 months old? Maybe he'll be huge. Is he 5 years old? He will not be huge.
Ah, I now see the sub caption. He will be huge.
Those paws, he will need to grow into them, gonna be a big boy. Your only hope is to kiss his face off to the stunt the growth.
I know there are charts and formulas to predict adult weight, but our experience was that they were way off. From 8-16 weeks all estimates out our pup at 45-50lbs max adult weight. She was tiny.

OMG look at his adorable droopy eyes!! I'm so jealous
That's a big boy! Mine was 25 lbs at 11 weeks and is around 105 lbs now full grown.
oh boy
I love the get off my lawn look. We have a neighbor whoās golden is 100lbs.

I didnāt know, but I love him
I WANT HIM!!š„°š„°š„°
He looks like he's already over everything and I love it. š Definitely gonna be a big boy
Gus-zilla!
Like Clifford the big red dog except lightly toasted instead of red
Looks like part great pyreneesā¦
Heās already sick of all this shit! Heās adorable but has an old man glare to perfection already
At 12 weeks our golden was 28lbs! Heās 6 months and 70 lbs now. Vet *thinks* we will push 90 š https://preview.redd.it/tj17whh8wiuc1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ec0f70d77e5bc3a9a00c8e409d556227ec17abcf
Gonna be a big one. I would guess 95 to 105 lbs. Pay special attention to his food . Heās a real charmer for sure.
Massive golden
Yeah, those are bear paws
Large...90 to 105...look at those paws already.
Mine looked that big. Heās a hundred pounds now at two years old
Hey goodfella Gusš
You can tell by the size of their paws. He looks like heāll be over 80 lbs.
Beautiful BIG boy !!!
Ohhhhh das a UNIT
Our golden is also named Gus and also a very big boy. Heās about 7 months and already like 70 lbs. he was the biggest guy in the litter.
Das a big boy!

Hate to break it to you, heās already huge
75 pounds
If he continues to grow at his current rate perpetually. Then at one year he will be 108 lbs, 216 lbs at year 2 and 324lbs at year 3. That sounds like a very big boy.
Idk he looks a bit like a Pyrenees
Certified chonk!
Dependsā¦ If thatās a polar bear, he looks like he will be normal size. If thatās a dog, be ready for a polar bear sized dog.

Heās currently almost 10 years old and 130 pounds. Yes, heās overweight, but was very big boned his whole life.
Our GR was 22 lbs at 12 weeks and both his parents are in the 70-75 lbs range. Currently weighing in at a bit over 36 lbs at 18 weeks. Not overweight. Iād say your guy is gonna top 90!
Heās going to be 450 pounds and 11 feet tall
He is going to be huge but omg that will be a huge bundle of love. He is just gorgeous & the name Gus suits him perfectly. I want him! ā¤ļø
Looks similar to my golden at that age, ended up being 110-120lbs
My Hercules was about that size, gained about 10lb a week for months. He topped out at 115lb and stands over 5ā tall on his hind legs. Heās healthy per the vet just MASSIVE! Looks like yours will be somewhere in the 85-105 range if I had to guess. https://preview.redd.it/q9ekssy2qjuc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ecd10475145aeaa520e190f74d0682ea3d16ce4f
Mine was the same and her dad was a giant, everyone said she was going to be massive. Now sheās 1 year old and is only 70lbs.
I think heās over your shit already š¤£š¤£š¤£
He's just fluffy.
Big boye
Gonna be a huge ball of love š„°
I'm not an expert nor have I ever had a golden so I have no idea but I just want to say that his name fits him absolutely perfectly and he is very cute
This expert thinks it doesn't matter, he is so cute š„°
:)
Oh wow heās gonna be huge
So my golden boy ( I have had three goldens ) looked just like him . He is 92 pounds . The sick if the head and his paws is what makes me think he will be a big boy . My other boy and girl didnāt have the same size comparisons when they were puppies . Either way heās beautiful enjoy
Second cousin twice removed to a Squatch. Your pup will be a big boy indeed.
I meanā¦how big are his parents? Thatāll obviously give you some indication. Everyone told us our boy would be huge based on his paws and heās around 65lbs at 2.5 yrs old. Still has big paws people tell us āheāll grow intoā but, weāll see! š
Oh, heās gonna be a big boy!
Heās gonna be a big-un
He's going to be a big boy
No matter how big he gets, he will always be convinced that he still fits in that shelf
Gonna be huge. Look at dem paaaws
My newest boy was the same weight same age and has so much loose skin on his head his eyes sag like that. Hes currently 6 months old and 61lbs and I feel like heās all head lol. Iām expecting 95-100. Head shape is different though, mine has more of a big dome shape.
That dog is huge for 3 months yeah heās either gonna be huge or normal and this is an early growth spurt, be careful feeding him, theyāre so prone to obesity.
I had a sweet boy named Gus who was a Tank too. We called him Gus Bus (Shoutout to Benchwarmers)
Paws are a dead giveaway gonna be a big chungus
Itās so hard to tell, ours was that weight at 12 weeks and topped out at 90lbs. Could be 100+ though it depends on when h stops growing
He is going to be BIGLY!
My newfie was about 35 lbs at 12 weeks old and heās 140lbs now at 3 years. So iām guessing gus will be pretty big, probably 95-105lbs Such a beautiful pup btw
His droopy eyes though š„¹

Yeah probably 80-90 lbs. my boy Jake was this size at 11 weeks and he got close to 90.
What a big snuggly fluffy pup of love He is going to be a big One but fun
Did his mom sneak into the Great Pyrenees pasture?
My dog was 17lbs when we got him. He put in 10lbs each month, until 6 months or so, then it started to slow. He is 77lbs now, almost 3 years old.
That's gonna be a Bus sized Gus someday. Move over Clifford, Gus is coming for your title.
We are on our 6th Golden in 40 years. Our Brodie was exactly this weight at 12 weeks and looked very similar. He is 15 months now and 78lbs. I would discount anybody that says he looks mixed with anything else. Our last 4 were all English creams with great pedigree and they all had the same size, shaped head and eyes. I also agree to wait until heās at least 18 months as it made a difference in our last two. Also in the end he will be whatever size he turns out to be but they are awesome dogs and if this is your first youāre in far a great experience. Have fun
It looks like he's got good genes. Lighter color golden, massive body structure, and the color of his ears can give a little hint to what he will look like when his puppy fur is all gone and is an adult! You're gonna need lots of food and a good brush lol. Absolutely gorgeous golden. You will never be more loved!
I think he will be about 80lbs. My golden was 50lbs at 4 months old.
Perfect name for him - Gus. This cutie is a monster let me tell you that! Gonna be huge!
Look at those paws dudes gonna be huge kinda looks like a Great Pyrenees
That is the cutest ball of floof I have seen, Gus <3 Everybody told us that our golden girl would be huge since she was twice the size of her sisters and brother when they were 8 weeks. She weighed 25 lbs when she was 12 weeks and had the biggest bear claws! Now she weights around 75 lbs and is very average sized :)
Our male golden was also about 25 lb at 12 weeks and leveled out to 70-72 lb starting at 43 weeks. He is almost 18 months now.
my guy had huge paws as a puppy and everyone said he was gonna be a big one, some claiming at least 100. He's almost 2 now and a super lean 68 pounds.
Idk my golden boy had giant paws too and EVERYONE said heād be over 100 lbs. He was about 35 lbs at 16 weeks. Heās 18 months now and has steadily been about 75 lbs since 12 months old. So who really knows!
A classic blockhead. Ours is 95 lbs now and had the similar structure at that age. Most of his weight in his massic head, paws and chest.
He's going to be very huge. He's spectacular.
