How big will he get?

Hi
This may have been posted already somewhere, but is there a way to tell (roughly) how big our Horton will be when he's full grown?
He just turned5 months and weighs 32.5 pounds.
Just curious is all. He seems like a big clutzy moose right now!
Thanks!

ok on the average take the weight of your doodle at 4mos old and double it plus add another10lbs

Are you sure? How did come to the conclusion? My doodle is a mini and she is almost 4 months and weighs 16lbs and is suppose to be between 20-30 lbs...I never dreamed of a 40 pounder

That sounds pretty much like Bogart annmarie! He's now doubled his weight from 25 LBS at 4 months.......to exactly 50 LBS at 8 months!
I wouldn't be surprised to see him at 60! Wink

I think it depends...Dexter grew quickly and after 6 mos didn't gain anymore weight...

The chart seems to be very close to competely accurate, I think.
I mean, with a little give and take in there....

Can't answer the question about the mini...how big were the parents?
Or was it an F1 cross with a toy poodle and small lab?

thanks JUDI...and Max who was 35lbs at 16wks WAS 75-80 at year old and now that he's hitting 2years old he's 88-90lbs

Horton, they fill out a bit after a year old but mostly muscle (which weighs more than fat).

by 10mos usually they're done growing in height

Yeah, I bet Horton will be about 60-70 lbs. Jaxy is 10 mos and about 70 lbs. and he is very lean. I think he'll probably gain another 10 lbs in muscle.
