The pups are expected to mature average about 24.5" / 68 pounds for females and 26.5"/ 90 pounds for males.

What would be very good birth weights for these pups?

Thanks

In my limited experience (3 litters-total 25 puppies), the weights were between 1 to 1lb 8 0z. Keep in mind I feed raw which usually means leaner but lively, strong puppies.

Do you have Fred Lanting's book The Total German Shepherd?  I recall that he has a puppy weight chart in that book.

1 to 1 3/4oz, depends on size of the litter, fewer pups mean bigger pups. Large litters are smaller pups
