Is my 4-month-old puppy's 26 lb weight normal or underweight?

Question

My dog is 4-5 month old and is 12kgs. Is this appropriate for a dog to be 12kgs at this age or isn't? If he is under Weight how should we help him increase his weight? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | unneutered | 4 months and 9 days old | 26 lbs

At 12kg (26.4 pounds) Iggy sounds like a normal weight. Please don't try to overfeed him to make him bigger. That will cause growth abnormalities. He is not too thin unless you see all his ribs showing. Most dogs are too fat in general so it is best to keep him lean.
