What weight range classifies a middle range dog?

1. 5-10 lbs.

2. 10-50 lbs.

3. 50-100 lbs.

4. 100-150 lbs.

The correct answer is: 10-50 lbs.

The classification of a middle range dog typically refers to dogs that fall within a moderate weight range. A weight range of 10-50 pounds accurately captures this middle category, as it includes a variety of breeds that are neither too small nor too large. This range encompasses many popular breeds that are often chosen as family pets due to their manageable size and adaptability to various living situations. In contrast, the other ranges either represent much smaller dogs or larger breeds. The 5-10 pound category refers to toy or small breeds, while the 50-100 pound range includes large breed dogs. The 100-150 pound category captures very large breeds, which are not considered middle range. Therefore, the 10-50 pound range is distinctly positioned as the middle range for dogs.
