She doesnt need company she had trillions of dogs here but she is not a doggy dog she prefers hoomans 

[JasperPop]

aww she sounds like such a lovely affectionate dog!

rachel your cheating lil'bit is at the bottom of the hill   She is cute though and Ayla sized

Ayla is diddy and I don't think she'll grow much more the standard should be what people are aiming for so:

Height approximately: dogs: 39-41 cms (15.5-16 ins); bitches: 38-39 cms (15-15.5 ins). Weight approximately: 13-14.5 kgs (28-32 lbs).

Not sure why there is such a big difference in the dogs and only a cm either way in the bitches though or if this is aimed specifically at the show dogs who from what I have seen do tend to be larger than the working equivalent.  Ayla is small but I haven't managed to get her to stand still long enough to measure her so i'll have another go tomorrow for a more accurate reading.

Anything above that is more than the standard and by rights should not be used within a breeding program.

They can vary quite a bit. The way he is going now Rodaidh is quite tall but is going to look really slight compared to my other two who are both big. Tilly in particular is a larger lass    other than Freya's Bilbo and one other solid black which was at trainer Charlie's place she's the biggest working cocker I've seen, she's very solidly built and weighs just over 18kg, you can sort of see on my signature pic how broad her chest is, she has a really broad ribcage for her size which makes her look bigger than she actually is. Alfie is long and lean but still very sturdy and weighs about 16.3kg. Rodaidh is 8 months and quite lanky but he's only somewhere around 10kg, there's nothing of him

my worker's a titch (but not as titchy as Jean's Rolo )

he's 15 inches to the shoulder and 12.7kgs (and just over 2 years old) and he is just perfick

[*Theresa*]

From what I can tell they all vary hugely. Glen who is just coming on 1 is all gangly and tall and weighs 17k but their is not a spare bit on him.  Sally is smaller though not tiny and wieghs 14k yet she tends to look a bit rotund at times (until she is soaked through thn she looks like a rat)

I met a few cockers off here and I was amazed how big Nicola's Tilly was, she looked like a giant next to Jean's Rollo. My two are both bigger than the show cockers I have met though.

Hi, i have a 11 week old field cocker and everyone keeps saying to me that she is going to be big aswell.
Also she is really nipping a lot and i don`t know how to control this

[JasperPop]

simmosno5 there are lots of threads in the behaviour section about this....little ankle-biters!! 

depends what you mean by nipping.....ignore play biting and time out for proper biting .............best looking in the behaviour section imo

Good luck

From what I've seen making the dog coats, workers are longer than they are round.....and show cockers are rounder than they are long   

[Linz13]

Murphy (working)  is the biggest from his litter, all his litter mates are local except one!, he towers above them all, and they are all alot eh, rounder shall we say!  I'd do away with someone if they said I was round!!   He was weighed on Monday at the vet, he was just over 17 kilos, she said that was a bit heavy for his breed, but she also said that he is perfect looking, not overweight at all!

Maddi  (show) is just over 7 kilos at just under 6 months, I think most of that is hair!!

No-one believes that murphy is a cocker because of his 'sharp' features.  I don't care what anyone else thinks, they are both beautiful, I'm a wee bit biased, but someone actually walked right up to me tonight and said, that wee black dog is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen on four legs, then shouted back, even if it does look a bit like a haggis!!

[Letichia]

I have two show cockers one boy and and girl.
Mollie is 12.5kg
Scoobie is 12.75kg

Mollie is a bit smaller then Scoobie and the vet said that she does need to loose a bit of weight.

I met a few cockers off here and I was amazed how big Nicola's Tilly was, she looked like a giant next to Jean's Rollo.

Tilly says thanks a lot, she's off to try to find some Alice in Wonderland shrinking potion so that people will stop mistaking her for a big butch Field Spaniel instead of the dainty girly Working Cocker she is
