What is the ideal weight for a Standard Poodle?

The Standard Poodle's ideal weight range is 20–32 kg (44–70 lb). Males typically fall in the upper portion of that range; females in the lower. Within that range, the correct weight for an individual dog is determined by body condition score, not a fixed number.

My Standard Poodle looks slim but weighs more than expected — is that a problem?

Standard Poodles are muscular and athletic, and muscle is denser than fat. A well-muscled Poodle at a healthy BCS can weigh more than you might expect from looking at them in a full coat. If the ribs are easily felt, the waist is visible, and there's an abdominal tuck, the weight is likely appropriate even if the number seems high.

How can I tell if my Standard Poodle is overweight under all that fur?

Part the coat and feel the ribs directly. At a healthy weight, you should find them easily with light pressure. If you need to press firmly, or can't locate them clearly, the dog is likely overweight. Loss of waist definition and abdominal tuck are the other key hands-on indicators.
