Reading the range correctly
A published range of 1.5–2.5 kg (3–6 lb) is a description of the breed, not a target for your dog. The span exists because it covers both sexes, different lines and different frame sizes. A dog at the bottom of the range is not underfed and one at the top is not overweight; both can be in perfect condition, and both can equally well not be.
Weight on its own cannot answer the question owners are really asking. The body condition method assesses the dog by feel and is what actually settles it.

Crate and airline sizing: measure this Continental Toy Spaniel for a crate or air container. This breed reference has no published height range in the source data, so no breed-height check is shown. Compare food costs using this dog’s actual weight.
Feeding a Continental Toy Spaniel
Across the published weight range, resting energy requirement for this breed runs from about 95 to 139 kcal per day. The figure you feed to is that multiplied by a life-stage factor — typically 1.6 for a neutered adult, which puts a mid-range Continental Toy Spaniel near 188 kcal per day before any adjustment for how much this particular dog actually moves.
To convert that into a portion of the food in your kitchen, you need the kcal/cup figure from the bag: the portion calculator does that step.
