I don't think there is an actually chart but German shepherds can range anywhere from 65-100 pounds depending on their genetics. I rarely see them over 100 pounds and be an ideal weight. Since Soska is 10 months and around 55 pounds, I estimate that she will be around 70 pounds at an ideal weight when she is full grown. You want to make sure you see a "waist" when you look at her from above and from the side. You want to be able to easily feel her ribs and hip bones but not see them from a distance. i hope this helps!
