Not so mini?!

No1PilotsWife · 08-05-2011, 08:26 PM

Our little guy, Tate, is a multi gen (F3B) mini Labradoodle. However, I'm not sure he's exactly mini. He's now almost 5 months and weighs 26 lbs. The breeder said he'd weigh 20-35 lbs. full grown. I don't mind the added weight/height. He's pretty tall, too. How much does yours weigh and is he a mini, medium, or standard?

Ruff is already 10 kilos at 14 weeks.....and he is rather skinny.....

He is just a labradoodle. I don't think they come is sizes in NZ. Dad was a standard poodle and quite tall, mum was a labradoodle and was the size of a small lab.

Have fun watching him grow!

Spike is a mini aussie doodle and weighed 20 pounds at 6 months, he is now 7 months and maybe a little bigger but not much. He may have lost some actually because we have had stomach issues.

Jasper'sMomma · 08-06-2011, 12:08 PM

We have a 'medium' sized australian labradoodle who is 5 1/2 months old and weighs about 40 pounds. Our breeder said he would top out at 40lbs but obviously she is wrong, lol!!! Our vet thinks Jasper will be around 50-55 pounds. Jasper was really boney but he is starting to fill out, he is quite tall as well...his parents were 6th generation labradoodles who both weighed 40 pounds, so you just never know for sure how big they're gonna get

Oh and we got him at 12 weeks and he was 17 lbs, he weighted almost 8 lbs at 7 weeks old (he broke his arm at 3 weeks old and his planned adoptive parents didn't want him- their loss our precious gain) that's why he was so old when we got him. He is 100% totally fine now.

I hope my furrball gets as big as possible...hehe... We wanted a standard sized doodle but we fell in love with Jasper

Hope that gives you a bit better of an idea about your 'lil guy!

Can we some pics? Pretty please

Malcolm is an F3 "mini/small". He's at 10 lbs now at 13 weeks (I think I did my math right...he was born 10th May).

He's supposed to be 25-30 lbs. But...This child has some BIG ol' feet. So...I'm skeptical LOL. I'm anxious to see how big he will get, but on the other hand...I don't want him to grow up too fast either. They are so much fun when they are little with their cute little puppy barks and antics

deepnite10 · 08-07-2011, 12:05 AM

we could nt find a medium and settled on the runt of litter of standards..

Toby, was 27 lbs. at 14 weeks old..while discussing his possible, eventual size..i was told he d be in the range of 60-65 lbs based on past litters..

perhaps they underestimate their eventual size cuz now he s a bit shy of 90 lbs..

im surprised he s this big..like many other doodles he s a finicky eater
and eats, if i m lucky..2 full cups of Origen or Evo..im not worried that he getting enough nutrition..but, from these 2 cups he still manages to gain weight..

Peppa was weighed at 8 weeks and was 3kg, I was told she will be a small dog and will take after her dad who is a minature poodle. How true this is I am not sure but she has tiny paws compared to her brothers and sisters who have huge paws and look bigger already! She is just 9 weeks now

Riverkatie · 08-07-2011, 02:35 PM

One of the fun things about cross breeds, is that they could take after any of their ancestors. (one can even get 'throw-backs' in pure breeds) so they could be any size.

Someone told me...not sure who...that labradoodles are often taller than their parents! This cannot, of course, be consistently true as we would end up with Irish wolfhound sized dogs.....or maybe a donkey.....

Jasper'sMomma · 08-07-2011, 03:12 PM

LOL @ riverkatie !!!

Nikkiey · 08-08-2011, 09:59 AM

Juneau was 40 lbs at 5 months and now he fluctuates between 60 lbs and 65 lbs at 11 months. He's still pretty skinny (IMO) but it's not like he's starving! He still has some filling out to do, but I expect him to be no more than 70 lbs once full grown....but who know's, Juneau seems to be full of surprises!!

Lexi is a 5 year old F1 mini. She was 29lbs at her checkup last month.

browndog · 08-18-2011, 01:45 AM

Our Katey is 7 months old and weighs 27 lbs. Her mom was a standard F1 labradoodle and her dad a mini poodle. Breeder said she should end up at about 35 - 40 lbs as an adult. Her weight gain has been slower once she hit 6 months.

Maddie · 08-18-2011, 08:37 PM

Peppa-

Lexi is an F1 mini. Father is a toy poodle, and mother a lab.

She was 7lbs at 9 weeks:
