I can't measure Gari's height as he has a bizarre fear of measuring tapes, but I can feel his ribs easily. However he has a big roll of loose skin at his neck, I thought it was maybe just his age.

My mum has a lab the same, we measured her against the door frame (like a kid!) then measured upto the felt tip mark when Wendy was around to see the tape measure. I think the tape measure thing was started by a bad experience at the vets, and she remembers being prodded and measured.

Charlie, who is 3 and show type weighed in at a tiny 9.4 kg last week. Little cocker with a BIG attitude

I also have a little dinky one. Lillie is show type, two years old and weighs 8.5kg

Tia is 2 years old and is a tall 3/4 worker at 17". She weighed 13.5kg last time we weighed her and I think she looks just right

Barney is 11.5kg. He recently went up to 13.2kg in two weeks when his food was changed and he looked too porky then.

I've witnessed something with Barney which surprised me. Barney was BARF fed and was always around 11.5kg and he was fine at that, had just enough fat on his ribs. For health reasons the vet wanted me to give dry food ago which I reluctantly agreed to. After he'd put on that weight, mentioned above, I cut back the dry food a bit and he went back to 11.5kg. However he feels too thin on his ribs, there isn't very much flesh there at all. This confirms that its not about what they weigh, the same dog fed two different diets has been just right at 11.5kg and too thin at 11.5kg.

I agree it's not all about weight, muscle weighs more than fat anyway doesnt it?  Mine are about 14kg and 15kg (I think, but they are both at the vets on Weds so I will find out then) and they look fine to me!  My step-dad says they are overweight but his worker is rather thin (he is a really fussy eater and tbh looks like a whippet!!) so in comparison it's hard to look normal haha.  I can feel their ribs but there is a layer of muscle under the skin and they do taper in between the ribs and hips. 

I hope they arent overweight I would feel terrible, like a really bad Cocker Mummy.  They vary so much and I think proportion is much more important.

My boy (Black) 2 yrs is 13.5 and looks good sometimes I look at him and think could do with a bit more weight
My girl Blue) 3yrs is 12k and is on a fine line looks good only just has a waist, so I always give the bigger piece of meat/bone to him.
The vet said both are a good weight,  and what do you do with these dog's hasn't seen cocker's with muscle before.
OH says, he has mussels like a greyhound, and she has whippet muscles

I have one midget, Bella, who's 3 and weighs 9.8kg, and Zorro who's a bit taller but very lean and around 10-11kg I think - hasn't been weighed for a while though.
