As a large breed, a Flat-Coated Retriever keeps growing for longer than a small dog — larger breeds reach their adult weight months later (Hawthorne et al., 2004). Expect steady growth well past the first year.
Weight varies within the Flat-Coated Retriever by sex, genetics and health, and mixed-breed dogs fall between their parents. This is a typical range, not a guarantee.
