A compact dog with good bone and body can weigh more than a tall, fine boned dog....so you need to factor that in as well.
And also factor in what average weight of previous litters her line throws. Was she the outlier of the litter? WHat were her grandma and greatgrandma litters like? You will need all this information anyway if you go ahead and eventually want to breed her.
