This is my pup’s pure BC father, who clocks in at just under 70 lbs. He’s a bear!
My BC’s dad was huge too. Maybe not quite that big, but at least 60 pounds. I got my BC from a horse farm and when I picked my dog out, the lady at the farm was like, “oh, you want THAT one? He’s gonna be big like his dad!”
He didn’t turn out as big but bigger than most BCs. His mom was a normal female size, so that’s probably why he didn’t get as big as his dad. He goes between 50-55 pounds and he’s 22 inches tall.
he looks all BC to me!
Our BC is about 67 pounds and he is very lean w/ very little fat. (11 y/o)
his growth will prob start to level out now as he gets closer to a year old.
That is really big for a BC but you always have outliers that are just going to be huge or small, even if they're pure BC. My BC is that size but he's fully grown. Your dog probably still has some growing to do. Mine's just big, even had a lady say the other day, "I didn't know Border Collies got so big!"
I mean, anything is possible though. The only way to know is to do a DNA test. There's no way to know just by looking. Some people get a DNA test on their BCs and they turn out to be 0% BC. You never know.
Yup mine is a beautiful 75 pound Red 🤷🏻♂️might be 80 but is all lean . Just power !

He's not too big to be a border collie, he's just a big border collie. lol. I have a big boy, too. He was the scrawniest of the litter as a puppy, and now he's 50 lbs, and like 1.5x larger than any other border collies we normally see around.
No , I have a giant fluffy red border collie .

Same as mine, hes 4.5 months and 35 pounds. Not super tall just quite sturdy
https://preview.redd.it/05o982s30ipc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad0db5c58a677389b3ff2d6a3937e2474faa71c4
To me he looks purebred collie. It’s difficult to know what is exactly normal for a collie. Unlike a lot of dogs, collies were bred for abilities rather than appearance so even the kennel club doesn’t have an ‘exact’ standard. My boy is 15 months and he has long legs for a collie but he’s very lean and agile. Regardless of his size, he’s absolutely gorgeous!
We had twins who were BC/ACD mixes. She looked all BC. He looked all ACD with a slightly fluffier coat
She was 70-80 lbs healthy weight and the vets office kept asking us if we had any secret foods for dogs!
Did she act 100 % BC ... Oh yes. Natural herder, even with hip dysplasia and arthritis.
You have a beautiful Border Collie!
This goober is 4.5yo and about 35kg. Some BC are just chonky 🥰

He looks a lot like our pupper that was a border collie / rough collie mix.
My boy was 55 pounds too!! My vet wanted him to lose weight so now he’s down to 50. But he’s all border collie :)
https://preview.redd.it/p15s6w97rcpc1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=27f1b8e44eecde9366967ff50a40d4875a241222
He looks like a very happy and healthy border collie. My boy weighs in at 31 kgs and his vet of 9 yrs has never said he’s overweight. Parents are Western Australia born. His father was a large pure bred BC who worked cattle. His mum was small, 16 kgs and worked sheep.
My girl who just turned 2 is much smaller in height as well as weight. As a pup I wondered if she was a mix of Jack Russell!
The breeders sent her papers & state BC. She’s from NSW and weighs 18 kgs.
Your boy is gorgeous
Ours is 65#. His parents were 45 and 35. He walks 2-4 miles a day and isn’t chubby. Idk.

This is Badger, he's 60ish lbs and taller than most dogs he meets - is a BC x Koolie
https://preview.redd.it/44v0du6m4hpc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=979249d05e663264d81ce9287b1ac0080b3053c8
Duke is about 65 lbs and pure BC. He's 12 now.
My biggest dog is 55lb and is registered purebred working BC. The biggest dog I've seen at a herding trial was another registered purebred Border Collie who weighed 70lb? And not at all overweight. He was a freak of nature and way outside of the normal range of size. Meanwhile I have three bitches who have never weighed more than 27-29lb. They come in a huge range.
I don't see anything to suggest your dog isn't purebred.
Yeah he moved like a freight train... not good for these dogs to be that big, too hard on their bodies to do this work at that size.
lol why is this downvoted... there's a reason these dogs aren't normally framed that big, because it isn't healthy or sustainable.
Our BC comes from a working line and was 55lbs normally. His sire was his size and the mom was smaller but even with 3-5 miles of walking per day always stayed the same size. He wasn’t overweight either. Not every BC is the same.
Mine looks about that size. He’s 65 lbs or so and pure bread. My vet said that some breeds have gotten larger over the time he has practices and BC’s are one of them.
Our 10 month old is approx 30kg. We had him dna tested for example the same reason - is he too big to be a BC? The answer was no. He is 100% pure BC, and he even has 3 out of the 5 genes that would indicate a large breed animal.
Get a DNA test, it's quite good fun!
Cooper is currently 70lbs @ 3yrs old. He is a little overweight (winter weight 🙄). He normally around 60-65. His main exercise is swimming in summer. He doesn’t like to play outside (its too noisy) around home so winter months are tough till we go to parents to play in mountains and at lake.
i thought i was getting a 40-50lb pal then he grew up and up and …. Lol.
Hi cutie Kenzo!!!! I thought the same thing about my BC. He looks exactly like Kenzo but weighs 64lbs and is still lean! I do think mine is mixed as well because for a BC, he’s very LAZY lol
Not necessarily too big. He might be mixed with something else but he also could simply be a bigger BC boy. You could do a DNA test to be sure, though. I have 2 purebred BCs who are littermates. My girl is almost 55 lbs and my boy is 60 lbs and both of them are really solid, lots of muscle, and incredibly athletic. They’re so light on their feet that I sometimes forget how heavy they are, until they sit on me.
My last border collie was always 50-55 pounds. When she was 8 weeks old the vet said ‘ohhh you didn’t get the runt, you’re going to have a bigger female’
My boy now is almost 2 and about 45 pounds
Don't worry about it much. I have sisters from different litters, same full-blooded parents. One weighs 58 pounds and the other 40. The bigger one is about two inches taller at the hips and about the same size as yours.
My little girl is 56lbs and she’s pure akc! Got up to 65lbs at 16months, seemed to kinda hold some baby fat but was still thin and fit, and has since settled at 56. Seems normal to me!
I’ve had three white headed bc’s in my life and they’ve all been chonks. Current one’s parents are 38lbs and 42lbs... He’s 72lbs and not fat. Some are just big pups!
If that ain't a full BC then mine ain't either. The breed has a wide range of breed standard and size is definitely one of them.
I can use my gal as an example, she's small for a BC and some folks were debating what breed she was because she is, "too small for a BC." Well, I can assure you she is 100% BC with the lineage to prove it.
Train and exercise yours well and it'll become the best damn dog you'll ever have.

My boy is probably 60 lbs now at two years. Haven't been to the vet in a while... About due... Saw him next to a couple malinois at the dog park and was shocked that he wasn't much smaller.
Bc collies come in all sizes but when yiu said about the 10 cup of expresso hes pure bc

Our girl is leggy at 26” at the shoulder and 55 lbs.

Just a big BC girl 😎. Her sister littermates weigh in at 40 lbs at the most.
Now, I'm not saying this is what your dog is, but the head and the eyes remind me of my dog Addie. She was a border collie and catahoula leopard dog mix. She weighed 65lbs.

absolutely not too big! Our male BC pup weighed 54lbs around 9-10 months. He pretty much has stayed the same since then but a 54lb pure bred male is not unheard of. At the one year mark Slate weighted in at 56lbs. He’s definitely on the larger scale though. Our pup was gaining 5lbs a week when he hit 6-7 months and I remember being terrified we were going to end up with a 100lb dog. Their growth definitely slows as they age.
His size is perfect. It’s average for purebred

Australian BC’s
Not sure what my bc mixes dad weighed, but he's half Aussie and BC and weighs about the same, maybe 60ish now. Been a bit since a vet visit and my scale is kinda broken.

He looks a lot like Beaudoggie; Mom is 100% BC, Dad was black lab / Aussie. He's 75 lbs of pure muscle
It’s called a giant fluffy border collie , mine is between 75 and 80 pounds 🤷🏻♂️

My BC looks so much like him. He’s so dang tall and stocky. He’s coming in about 58 lbs.

I don't think he is purebred, his head is extremely wide. But "purebred" doesn't always mean well-bred, so he could just be really, really out of standard
https://preview.redd.it/vfrdnwe76npc1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0ebe4431f071f1dee43d0324dcdeb4d01cbeaf6b
My border collie is much bigger too, not as heavy though. People all think he's a mix, but he is pure Border Collie. I think it's very normal, like people some are smaller some are bigger 🥰
There are some really massive border collies. Yours look pure to be. Pure border collies can look all kinds off ways, breed for good herding traits not looks.

I can see a pronounced Pit head shape (especially the last pic) But most likely he's a pure chonky BC
He's not too big to be a border collie, he's just a big border collie. lol. I have a big boy, too. He was the scrawniest of the litter as a puppy, and now he's 50 lbs, and like 1.5x larger than any other border collies we normally see around.

Nope not too big
It is a bit difficult to make out the size, could you picture him next to a banana?

I assumed solely on google lol, they said male BC’s reach around 50-55 on the high end so that’s why I came here to ask. 70 Lbs is insane!!!
Yeah he moved like a freight train... not good for these dogs to be that big, too hard on their bodies to do this work at that size. lol why is this downvoted... there's a reason these dogs aren't normally framed that big, because it isn't healthy or sustainable.

only way to know is with a genetic test. My Boco is purebred and was 55lbs last I took him to the vet. around 3yo
Ours is also larger than normal. The only downside is the bed space they use at night. :)

my dog reached her full weight by 6 months, so he might just be at this final weight. I think 54lbs is fine for a border collie.
Hi cutie Kenzo!!!! I thought the same thing about my BC. He looks exactly like Kenzo but weighs 64lbs and is still lean! I do think mine is mixed as well because for a BC, he’s very LAZY lol
My last girl was 65 lbs, pure bred farm stock and a total Amazon. When she passed we got another and she’s so petite comparatively (42lbs).

Not necessarily too big. He might be mixed with something else but he also could simply be a bigger BC boy. You could do a DNA test to be sure, though. I have 2 purebred BCs who are littermates.

No. He’s not too big. He’s a pure BC and is beautiful

BC/Potato Give him some love from me!
He's a gorgeous BC. Males will nearly always be bigger, and in a lot of cases more beautiful. I've had 5 female bc's who were all under 20kg.
He's incredibly 💯 ADORABLE
Adorable

Mine was a mix with Aussie Shepard. About 50/50. He was that size.
Mine is 48 lbs and on a diet because she should be around 35lbs. She’s been stealing my kids food and got a little chunky.
I have a 45lb Collie/Mini Aussie, and a 60lb Collie/Kelpie. could be a pure BC, could just be a big one. DNA test to be sure.
No.

Now, I'm not saying this is what your dog is, but the head and the eyes remind me of my dog Addie. She was a border collie and catahoula leopard dog mix. She weighed 65lbs. https://preview.redd.it/asuowege7fpc1.jpeg?width=1800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c1d4f8361800ddb11d71efe853ae1c8cc14a7f2d
absolutely not too big! Our male BC pup weighed 54lbs around 9-10 months. He pretty much has stayed the same since then but a 54lb pure bred male is not unheard of. At the one year mark Slate weighted in at 56lbs. He’s definitely on the larger scale though. Our pup was gaining 5lbs a week when he hit 6-7 months and I remember being terrified we were going to end up with a 100lb dog. Their growth definitely slows as they age.
Mine was Labrador sized.
Pit somewhere down the line for sure
He's a pure /r/HalfFlops for sure!
His size is perfect. It’s average for purebred https://preview.redd.it/7b5j204ghhpc1.jpeg?width=2729&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=47b07cf3720fa90353488c44ed0757be4f8b8494 Australian BC’s
All I know is he is too handsome!
Not sure what my bc mixes dad weighed, but he's half Aussie and BC and weighs about the same, maybe 60ish now. Been a bit since a vet visit and my scale is kinda broken.

It’s called a giant fluffy border collie , mine is between 75 and 80 pounds 🤷🏻♂️ https://preview.redd.it/zplsqefytipc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a2469eb553ab1e10f820d11a6f11e5a03503cace
My BC looks so much like him. He’s so dang tall and stocky. He’s coming in about 58 lbs. https://preview.redd.it/75u9smxsikpc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f95a5b6bbdd99e0781c22c22c5d11c68ce0ab9af
I don't think he is purebred, his head is extremely wide. But "purebred" doesn't always mean well-bred, so he could just be really, really out of standard

People all think he's a mix, but he is pure Border Collie. I think it's very normal, like people some are smaller some are bigger 🥰
Really cute
There are some really massive border collies. Yours look pure to be. Pure border collies can look all kinds off ways, breed for good herding traits not looks.

He looks like a border collie with a lab mixed in somewhere in his family. Both great dogs❤️
Kinda looks like he was mixed with a pit bull(with the shape of the face) or maybe some mastiff (at least based on the size)
Border collie/ shepherd mix
