Can I see your 45 pound goldendoodle?

[Kim Fine]

Honey is weighing in at 22 pounds at 15 weeks. Her vet said she will probably double in size so I'm thinking somewhere around 45 pounds which is what we were told by the breeder. Just wondering what that size will look like on her. Here she is now...

I love the curly Desi!  What were his parents?  Is he what is known as a "double doodle?"  My dog, Murphy, will be 1 on June 1st and currently weighs 41 lbs. He was wavy as a 9 week old puppy when I got him, but is very curly now, no shedding at all.  I don't know what all the "f1, f2" means.  All I know is Murphy's parents were (mom) a 30 lb. Australian Labradoodle and (dad) 35 lb. Goldendoodle.  I found it interesting that Murphy's mom was black with a little white under the chin/chest area.  Dad was fully golden and Murphy turned out fully golden and his ears are a just a little darker.  He has some white mixed in throughout his coat on chest, sides and belly.  He weighs more than either parent already and I assume he will grow a little more, being that he's not quite 1 yet.  I'm not sure at what age they reach their "adult" size.  Murphy is much curlier than I expected, although I don't mind, he is gorgeous and his coat is easy to maintain.  All I really know is that I was told that my dog had more poodle in him and was a "double doodle."  I got him from a guy near Seattle who is a teacher and just breeds one or two litters in the summer as a hobby/extra income.  Not sure if that makes him a "backyard" breeder but his place was clean and the puppies were well-cared for and mom was on site.   He did tell me he usually just bred goldendoodles or Australian doodles.  He said this was his first litter mixing an Aust. with a goldendoodle.   So far, Murphy is a smart and healthy dog. :-)   My profile pic is him at about 9 months old and the attached is him a few days ago.  I just see all these discussions about f1 and f2 and "will he doodle out" and I don't really know what Murphy is, in regards to that.

Murphy is a double doodle. There are not as many Australian labradoodle/goldendoodle crosses.  If the breeder does research on what a good pairing would be for his dog, health tests his dogs and breeds them to health tested dogs, he is a hobby breeder.  If he does not do the above stuff, he is a backyard breeder. Murphy might be full grown as the smaller doodles are done growing earlier than the larger ones.

Oh my gosh!  What a sweet and adorable face!
