Below is a chart showing the average birth weight of a cocker spaniel puppy, rising through to eight weeks of age (when the pup would leave the breeder) and then onwards to adulthood. Weight increases as the puppy grows & then should slow down & stabilise once a puppy reaches maturity. With puppies (prior to weaning a steady weight gain is important & should follow the growth pattern). The weights are calculated from statistics of our own pups/dogs and represent an average across 100 pups/dogs. All weights are metric i.e. in grams.
Weight Chart from Birth - 8 Weeks of age
The chart below shows an average adult weight for a cocker of 13 kilograms. The adult weight of a male dog may be as high as 15kg. Please note, whilst the actual weight of a dog (not including puppies) is relevant, the body shape is more relevant. A petite cocker would clearly be overweight if she weighed 13 kg! Weight Chart from 10 Weeks of age - 12 Months
The above weights are for males and females (combined), bitches generally weigh a little less than males of the same age. |
