Should I Be Worried?

On the same subject, when do they reach full weight/size? Fred is about 4 1/2 months old and weighs over 10kg so I was wondering how big he might grow.

He still looks quite small but day by day he is increasingly able to reach the kitchen work surfaces when standing on his back legs!!

Pepsi is 11 months and hasn't put on any more weight (11.5 kgs) in the last 3 months. She was heavier than Woody even at 10 weeks. She was 4.5kgs and Woody is 2.9 kgs.

Mikey is 16 kilo's and he is nearly 8 months old.  Herbie is nearly 6 months old and is 12 kilo's.  Herbie looks tiny though, he looks really petite up to Mikey.  Mikey is not fat but all muscle, Herbie is getting a fat bottom I've noticed :P

Are they working cockers too?

Yes Mich, Mikey is a working cocker and Herbie is worker x show.  Everything about Mikey is chunky - I love him to bits but he's so heavy :P
Love Michele, Mikey and Herbiexx

Rachel, don't worry atall, Indie is almost 3 and is mistaken ALL the time for a puppy she is very petite, both weight and height and build, shes a dainty little cocker!  You still have time for your little guy to grow and fill out and if hes happy and healthy, I don't think you should worry too much :)

As I recall, our Indie was about 5 kilograms at 17 weeks old. He's just under 13 kilograms now and perfect :wub:

Maybe you got a pocket cocker :P  :ph34r:

this is a seriously good topic :P   In the last couple of weeks I have been qetting slightly paranoid about Bens size - he is a jumbo cocker very tall and stocky and someone made the comment that he is too big to be a 'proper' cocker.  He only weighes 14.5kg but is about 17in tall at the shoulder and looks enormous and chunky compared to other cockers!!

My new years resolution is to get the hang of putting pics on here so I can ask what you all think.

reading all the other replies has made me realise I'm not hte only one who worries!

Indie is 13.5 inches :)   But she is well below the breed standard I think :)

Hi ya  Rachel,

Don't fret Milo was a heavier when he was younger and by the time he got to 14 months, he was as trim as anything, too trim actually, now is a nice weight for his height.

I know Barney's dad was exactly like Milo weight wise, heavier then trim and is now a perfect weight, so don't worry, its in his genes :lol: !!  Actually Milo and Chucky are quite similar all round although Milo is a taller dog than Barneys dad. :) (Chucky)

Willow has stuck at 9kg for the last 2 months. She reached that weight at 5 months and is now 7 months. Surely she hasn't stopped growing?

She's still on the puppy amounts of food, daren't reduce it to the adult amount, she might waste away. She's quite lanky and skinny.

They really do come in all shapes and sizes.  Bailey stands at almost 18" at the shoulder and he is truly all "proper cocker"  :lol:  only he comes in a bigger package  B) At 16kgs recently I had to increase his food intake as I could feel his ribs far too easily - he must be a good 17kgs+ again now and a wonderful size for him.  Not sure of his proper weight as I use touch instead of scales.  

Yep Bailey is my heffalump - made for cuddling :wub:
