Mega Doodle ?!

[Discussing Labradoodles & Goldendoodles]

Does anyone have a larger than normal Goldendoodle? Or is it just me ? Teddy seems like a really big boy to the point people think he is a few months old instead of just 10 weeks old !! Anything like words of wisdom you could tell me ? If you wanna see older pictures of him at 9 weeks I have a seperate discussion (:

How much does he weigh? Pictures don't really help much when looking at size.

At 5 months old, I cannot believe how huge my goldendoodle is. Her mom is 72 lbs. and dad 50 lbs. I know growth slows down but I think she will be huge. Quite frankly, I am tired of people being shocked at how big she is for 5 months. Like you, everyone said that from the beginning. I do believe goldendoodles often look bigger because of the standard poodle legs and then all the fur. I have decided that I will just have more to love! Enjoy your cutie!

To find these, I went to forum and typed in heavyweight and other size words.

He is adorable! I cant tell the  size of him from the pictures but, My doodle was about the same size at 11ish weeks. She is full grown (turned 2 on 3-29) and she weighs 55 pounds. If you know the parent's weights then you can sometimes figure out the ballpark weight:) But, you can never really be sure until they are full grown lol:) Have fun with your puppy!:)

People are always commenting on how big Ava is. I think it's funny, beause she's a large dog, but definitely not an extra large dog at 65 pounds. I think it's the fur and her big blocky head that makes people think that she's bigger than she is. I would love to have a really big doodle. If I recall correctly, I think Laurie's Vern is over 100 pounds. I think 100 pounds of love would be great. But I'm not sure I would be as in love with his food bill or the size of his poop!

Doodles over 100 lbs full grown are not uncommon!  Just more to love :-)   Do you know how big the parents were?

My Mac was right at 100 lbs when he turned one.  He is a beef cake with a big ol barrel chest.  His dad is around 75 lbs and mom is around 70.
