Sizes

Question 1

The ideal height at the withers:
for an adult dog is 38.1 cms (15 ins) and
for an adult bitch, 35.6 cms (14 ins).

Height may vary 1.25 cms (&1/2; inch) above or below this ideal.

A dog whose height exceeds 39.4 cms (15.5 ins), or a
bitch whose height exceeds 36.8 cms (14.5 ins) shall be disqualified.

An adult dog whose height is less than 36.8 cms (14.5 ins) and an adult bitch whose height is less than 34.3 cms (13.5 ins) shall be penalised.

Answer 1

Cocker Spaniel (American)

Question 2

Height is determined by a line perpendicular to the ground from the top of the shoulder blades, the dog standing naturally with its forelegs and lower hind legs parallel to the line of measurement.

Proportions: The measurement from the breast bone to back of thigh is slightly longer than the measurement from the highest point of withers to the ground. The body must be of sufficient length to permit a straight and free stride; the dog never appears long and low.
