Hi Everyone, I signed up to the group a few weeks ago but never posted my info. I have Gracie who is a 2 year old Standard Goldendoodle. I thought she was a heavyweight or rather...a very large Doodle but after reading everyone's comments, she qualifies to be in the group but she is on the smaller side!!! Gracie did weigh 72 lbs. but is now down to 69 due to the summer ball chasing. She is 27" high and 30" long and 69 lbs. People who meet her think she is rather large. One good thing is that she is very lean and trim through the body and hips. She is an F1 so she is 50/50 but she has the body of a Poodle!

My big boys are resting up now. We had another mountain bike ride today (probably more than 7 miles) and they are tired. It is gorgeous weather here on the central coast of California now and we get out as much as we can. Groucho Too loves water and would really love to surf if anyone would teach him but Hondo stay out of the water. Love to see Leo swimming. Have you taken any videos?

Leo has a very big body with long legs. I wonder sometimes how his legs actually hold that large body up. We laugh when he swims because his legs are so skinny.

He is a big boy at 29 inches. My dogs are 28 and 30 inches and about 100 pounds each. We all try to keep from getting broader. My boys love exercise and we went for a 7 mile bike ride yesterday. On Wednesday we did a 3 mile hike in the same area. They just love getting out to go anywhere.

I am not quite sure where to accurately measure him but from the bottom of his front paw up a bit passed his shoulder he measure 29 inches? I unfortunately am doing the "broader" as well!

From my experience, there is not much growing taller after two years, but there can be some growing broader, but don''t we all experience that? How tall is Leo?

I am curious to know how much, if any, growing goes on after 2 years old? Leo just turned two. His weight seems to stay between 75 & 80 pounds. It seems like he been getting taller over the last two months.

If I remember correctly, the norm for standard doodles is 22-25 inches so he is just above the norm. My "big" doodles are 28 and 30 inches and my husband was kidding and said we should call them "big" and "bigger".

Hartley is 26 inches at the withers. I thought he was taller, but apparently it was all hair!!
