Irish Red and White Setter Growth Stages

Neonatal
0–2 weeksPuppies are born with eyes and ears closed, relying entirely on their mother. Rapid weight gain occurs during this period.
Socialization

Juvenile

Adolescent
8–14 monthsGrowth rate begins to slow. Puppies reach sexual maturity and may test boundaries. Muscle mass develops.
Young Adult

Irish Red and White Setter FAQ
How much will my Irish Red and White Setter puppy weigh as an adult?
Adult Irish Red and White Setters typically weigh between 35 and 60 lb. The breed standard does not split this range by sex, so both males and females fall in the same 35-60 lb band.
At what age is an Irish Red and White Setter fully grown?
Most reach adult weight between 14 and 18 months. Like other setters, 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 an Irish Red and White Setter puppy weight chart?
It is a helpful guide, but these are athletic field dogs and the 35-60 lb adult band is wide — field lines often run leaner than show lines. Track your own puppy's trend over several weeks rather than comparing to a single week's number.
How much should an Irish Red and White Setter 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 Irish Red and White Setters grow differently?
The official adult range is the same for both sexes at 35-60 lb. Males often land toward the heavier end, but the overlap is wide enough that one chart serves both well.
