Heavyweights

Wow!  Only 30 pounds for Stella?!  I know it's impossible to predict adult weight, but I'm just shocked because she is Seamus' "sister".... different litter, of course, but same parents.

I'd say that Stella is going to be a small dog.  One guideline that is used for weight is to double their weight at 4 months to find out what to expect at adult size.  Using that, Stella would be about 28-30 pounds when an adult.  Sounds like she is eating well.  If Seamus is 1 1/2 year old, and very leggy, he may also have some filling out to do.  My 30-inch goldendoodle weighs 85 pounds and he looks very good at that weight.  Depends from dog to dog what is a healthy weight.

Lindsay, Ned, our small medium dood, was about 12 - 14 pounds and 4 months.  He grew to 27 pounds and stopped growing at 8 - 9 months.  The smaller doodles reach physical maturity way sooner than the standards.

Owen was 36 lbs at 16 weeks. He's a standard.

Ok here is a bit of a "nonheavyweight" question....my big guy, Seamus,...at a year and a half is 70 lbs and very tall...super leggy and horselike, as my husband likes to say.  My little one, however, is super tiny.  I'm forgetting about when Seamus was that age, but Stella (tiny girl) is 4 months and is only 14 pounds.  She was the runt of her litter, by far....does this seem overly tiny?  She is healthy and is actually quite a pig...lol but is just tiny...

Good!  Another crop of heavyweights.  I still have one heavyweight (30 inches and 85 lbs.) but my puppy is not going to get anywhere near that large.  I wanted a smaller dog because it is just too hard to handle two of the big boys on a leash and most places require a leash (at least around here).

Seamus is 28" tall at the shoulder and 70lbs.

Kona weighs 95 pounds. When he was a puppy we swore we could tell he had grown overnight. We just got our second standard goldendoodle but he is supposed to be much smaller. We would have loved to have another giant but his breeder matched Kona's sire with a smaller poodle when we were ready for number 2. Love the big boy! We'll see how our 8 week old grows.

Maybe just "hybrid vigor". Both my doodles are around 100 pounds, much larger than any of their parents.

I think my ex fed my Doodle 'Miracle Grow' once. Paolo is a healthy 78lbs!
