Curly-Coated Retriever Growth Chart
The Curly-Coated Retriever is the oldest of the retriever breeds — a confident, tight-curled gundog with a distinctive crisp coat of small curls. Independent and proud, Curlies are steadier and more reserved than their retriever cousins. Most reach an adult weight of 60-95 lb between 14 and 18 months.

Curly-Coated Retriever Growth Stages
Understanding the typical growth stages helps you know what to expect as your Curly-Coated Retriever puppy grows.
Neonatal
0–2 weeksPuppies are born with eyes and ears closed, relying entirely on their mother. Rapid weight gain occurs during this period.
Socialization
3–12 weeksEyes and ears open. Puppies begin to explore, play, and learn social behaviors. This is a critical period for development.
Juvenile
3–8 monthsRapid growth continues. Puppies become more independent, start teething, and develop coordination.
Adolescent
8–14 monthsGrowth rate begins to slow. Puppies reach sexual maturity and may test boundaries. Muscle mass develops.
Young Adult
14–18 monthsGrowth is nearly complete. Your puppy is filling out and approaching adult proportions.
Adult
18+ monthsYour puppy has reached their full adult size. Weight should remain relatively stable with proper nutrition.
Curly-Coated Retriever FAQ
How much will my Curly-Coated Retriever puppy weigh as an adult?
Adult Curly-Coated Retrievers typically weigh between 60 and 95 lb. The breed standard does not split this range by sex, so both males and females fall in the same 60-95 lb band.
At what age is a Curly-Coated Retriever fully grown?
Most reach adult weight between 14 and 18 months. As a large breed, they grow tall in the first year and then fill out, so a lanky yearling that still looks unfinished is usually right on track.
How accurate is a Curly-Coated Retriever puppy weight chart?
It is a helpful guide, but the 60-95 lb adult band is very wide and Curlies vary a lot by line — field-bred dogs often run leaner than show-bred ones. Track your own puppy's trend over several weeks rather than comparing to a single week's number.
How much should a Curly-Coated Retriever puppy weigh at 12 weeks?
Check the 12-week row in the weight-by-age table above for the estimated range. If your puppy falls well outside that band, re-check the scale, the lb/kg setting, and the age entry first — a single off reading is more common than a truly unusual puppy.
Do male and female Curly-Coated Retrievers grow differently?
The official adult range is the same for both sexes at 60-95 lb. Males often land toward the heavier end, but the overlap is wide enough that one chart serves both well.
