How confident is this estimate? Based on an official breed standard or cross-checked veterinary/registry sources.
About this breed's data: AKC standard: males 23-24 in and 65-75 lb, females 21.5-22.5 in and 55-65 lb; more than 1 in above or below the standard height is a disqualification. A 'mini golden retriever' is a separate crossbreed (usually Golden crossed with a smaller poodle or cocker), not a smaller variety of the purebred.
