As a medium breed, a Portuguese Pointer reaches its adult weight earlier than a large dog — smaller breeds finish growing sooner (Hawthorne et al., 2004).

Weight varies within the Portuguese Pointer by sex, genetics and health, and mixed-breed dogs fall between their parents. This is a typical range, not a guarantee.
