And by people I mean other cocker owners at obedience. They all seem surprised he is 13+ weeks.
I know asking how much a pup should weigh is like asking how long is a piece of string but I think you guys would have a better idea what was within the normal range than most.
We weighed him using the vets scales two days ago ( just walked in to weigh) and he was 4.8 kilos at 13 weeks 3days.
When he had his 12 week shot I asked the vet if his weight looked right and he said yes he was neither fat nor skinny, he doesn't seem thin just small.
He certainly has a healthy appetite, eats four times a day, has been wormed etc.
He comes from a highly reputable breeder in Australia, mum was a show pup who was too small to show in adulthood, dad is a show dog.
I'm not overly concerned we just want to love him, not love and show or love and breed, but I would be very interested in what you thought.
I did find an english weight chart that suggested 7 kilos was average for his weight.
Do you believe puppy size is a good indicator of future dog size?
