When is a cocker fully grown?
« on: August 28, 2010, 12:57:52 PM »
My cocker girl is now 8 months old, and weighing 8,5 kilos (she is not skinny nor chubby), is that small for a cocker her age?
Maybe somebody can tell me how big their dogs were at this age. When are they fully grown?

I love her to bits no matter what size she is of course, just wondering out of interest.

I remember her on the other thread of "weight of puppies" at 4.5 being 7.2 kilos...

Scarlett is 10.5 at 7 months....it depends on the dog I think....

Selby is 10 kilos and he is just over 9 months, but i think he is on the skinny side, but he is not a big eater, until now that i have started him on Raw.

Both taken away from us far too soon. x  RIP Angels Odie & Archie, causing mayhem at the Rainbow, no doubt!

Ted was about 13kg by 7 months!  :o :o :o

I thought I was going to have a giant cocker, but he then pretty much stopped growing.  He's 10 months soon and has only gone up to 13.7kg.  He's definitely 'solidly built'.  :005:

Tali was weighed last week at about 7.5 months and he was 10.4kg. He still looks lanky, infact his back legs look too long for him. Keli had a wide, flat back. Tali, like Niki, has a less flat spine, but he may fill out and it flatten more.

Alfie was 11.5kg at about 8 months. He's quite tall and lanky at the moment (especially when wet :005:) although hasnt grown any taller for a while  so hopefully he has stopped growing upwards and will start growing outwards :shades:. xxx

Our babies are mini cockers but are in proportion :luv:

Llew is 11 kilos and is one year old in a week and a half. Blod is about the same - she is rounder but shorter  :lol: and she is one year and four months.

I got Lexi at a year old and would have thought that she was fully grown, but she did in fact continue to grow and is now slightly taller than Misha, both of them weigh about 9kg.

 :o :o :o I've obviously got the chunkster of the family!  :005:

He never went through the lanky stage, was always just very solid.  He looks slimmer now than he did a couple of months ago, but I think that's just because most of the puppy fluff has fallen out.  :luv:

Generally, most dogs are fully grown at around 1ish (with a few exceptions here and there no doubt!) but when I look at pics of my boys up until around 18 months to now (they are 3) they are very different again
- they grow muscle definition and extra curly hair :005: :005:  so personally, I think they continue to change for quite a few years.  I've got a picture of Alfie at 15 months and when I compare to recent ones, he is very different....but I didn't really notice the changes like you do when they are trippling in weight in a week :005:


Finn and Alfie are very similar in height and size.......Finn weighs 11.8 kgs and Alfie 12.2 - when you lift Alfie, you can really feel that extra half a stone! :lol:
