I've read a lot about the different sizes and predicting the mature weight.  Did your Doodle end up being within the predicted weight range when they matured?  Above or below?

I have a mini and Peri's breeder said she would be 25-40 pounds. She is 25 pounds and is the smallest in the litter.  I know her biggest bro is about 38, so I think she made good predictions.
Our breeder told us Snickers would be 50-60 lbs the vet told us he would be 50-55. He has maintained 50.2 lbs for the last 8-10 mths so they were right on target. Because of all his hair most folks think he is 60-70 lbs but it is all fur! 
Achilles is about 75 pounds, they told me around 60 - 65 pounds. so not to far off.
Bodie is 21 lbs at 11 months. Breeder said 15-20 lbs, so I think he's right on target. His mom (F1 Goldendoodle) was 35 lbs, dad is mini poodle and 14 lbs.
Cooper is a little bigger than we thought. She is a standard ALD. her Mom is 45lb her Dad 55lb. Cooper weighs in at just under 60lb (boy name but she is a girl). Of the siblings im in  touch with, they are 50lb, 70lb and 75lb (all girls). i dont know what the boys weigh.
not done yet (18 weeks today), but our breeder told us Shadow would be about 40lbs.  At 16 weeks she was 22 lbs so that would put her over 50 by the rule of thumb.  Our vet (at 16 weeks) said to expect her to get to 70 or 80lbs.  That is WAY different than 40 and got us a little nervous.  Hoping she stays closer to 50 than 80 and would still have preferred 40!
Ollie is supposed to be a small medium. His parents are 32 and 38lbs. He is predicted to be about 35 to 40. I'll have to see if that's true. Currently at 6 months he is 26 lbs.
rufus not sure what size for him he seems more standard and he is 9 months and is 54 pounds not sure his full weight his dad was under 70 pounds his mom about 70 i was told by the breeder we will see i think mabey at least 65  libs

Tilly is around 42 pounds at 7 months.... is she still growing? My husband thinks she is done growing.   The breeder thinks she will be at 50 pounds and our vet said 50-60 pounds..... 

Rooney is bigger than either of his parents, which was the range he was predicted fall within (40-50 lbs). Rooney is now 60 lbs. at 1 yr 4 mos. and I expect he could still pick up another 5+ lbs as he continues to fill out. We like to think of him as our own "Clifford" and that our love made him grow so big. Hopefully he won't become larger than the house though...

I had hoped for around a 40 lb. dog (we have always had BIG dogs and I wanted a change) but I love the big lug so who am I to argue. :)
