weight for age question

So I saw the age weight thread and noticed there is quite a variation.... is this normal? what does a "normal" boxer weigh? Is it just like us where there is an optimal range we want to target?

Thanks

Yes, variation is normal. Therefore, there is really no "normal" weight

There's no "normal" weight because there is no "normal" size. I've seen Boxers anywhere from 40 pounds to over 100 pounds neither of which were underweight or overweight for their length, height, bone structure, etc. That's a HUGE variation. So since there's no normal length, height, etc there is no real normal weight either. What is normal varies for each individual dog itself.
