Kathleen · Answer

Is he a purebred? That's a very large size for a Golden, especially for having an undersized sire. 

According to the Standard, male goldens should be around 23 to 24 inches at the shoulder and weigh from 65-75 pounds. Females should be 21 1/2-22 1/2 inches and weigh 55-65 pounds. 

However as long as you don't intend to show or breed him, he could end up 90 lbs and taller than conformation/standard size.

Assuming he's not overweight, his parents weights were correct and he's really not a mix he's going to continue to be over what the standard calls for. He's still got 1 1/2 years of growing/filling out to do, so don't be surprised if he ends up close to or int he 100lb range.

That's surprisingly large given the size of his parents... make sure it's the vet telling you he's not overweight :)

If he is healthy right now, I'm pretty sure he'll be over 100 lbs. when he's full grown.
