Jag looks great . I wouldn't worry about the fact he is a bit bigger. There is a group of weims that walks where I used to and they are all quite varied in size. I think any breed and especially the larger breeds have a varied size range. Does he show any symptoms of having hip problems? If there is no stiffness or pain yet by this age then I would say it probably won't be an issue. You could always supplement with glucosamine for added peace of mind.

jag is looking superb! don't worry a bit. he's glossy, well proportioned, slowly getting his muscles in and maturing very nicely. i wouldn't be surprised to see him at 90 lbs or more in a couple of years - raw diets do add to heavy muscle weight and thick proper bones. hims just a big boy, that's all ...

if you can feel his ribs easily (but NOT see them when he moves, sits, etc) then he's at a good weight, and you're feeding him just fine! i assume his poops are OK now that you don't feed turkey anymore?

I think he looks very healthy and wouldnt' worry about his size, which will vary between individuals within the breed. If it helps any, I just met someone the other day who was telling me his mom has a 130 lb weim... my neighbor also has one that must be at or near 100 lb (he's quite tall).

Jag is looking really good and one very handsome boy. I agree with TeriM and would supplement him with glucosamine/chondroitin or else green lipped mussel.

IMO he looks great. With a face like that he could trick you out of a lot of treats!
