Best Doodle Size for Service Dog and Gentle Temperament w/Kids

[Wendy and Trusty]

What is the recommended minimum size (weight) of a Doodle for providing deep pressure to a child with sensory processing disorder? (Our toddler doesn't weigh much now, but he will 15 years from now!) Also, when it comes to toddlers and Doodles, are the larger dogs more willing to put up with a toddler who might want to lay his head on the dog, or play with his ears, etc? Is there a minimum size you recommend for kids? Thanks for your help! :)

My Breeder is no longer in business, but she produced Therapy Dogs.  I don't think any of the Doodles she bred were for Service work.

Thanks, Jane!

I'm curious to know if you wound up getting your doodle for your son and how it's going. I'm looking at getting one as a therapy dog for my son down the road who has anxiety and emotional regulation issues and am currently searching for breeders and advice. Would love to know how this is going for you.
