When do they stop growing?

[Puppy Madness]

Sky's mom and dad were/are both 50lbs. Sky is probably around 35-40lbs and shorter than her mama. She'll be a year old June 18th. She's a multigenerational labradoodle.

Is she done growing?

Hi Maizy! I don't have a doodle of my own yet, but maybe I can point you toward some things I've found in my internet travels.

There was recently a thread that included growth charts. You can find it here.

I also have a development chart my breeder turned me on to. It's on the idogrescue site, here. It includes other developmental milestones as well.

Hope it helps!

That is the same with Callie. Her parents were 55 pounds and at one year she weighed 33 pounds. I will be interested what others have to say :)

[Marie and Hoka]

I am wondering a a bit about Hoka's weight.. he is 6 months and only 32 lbs.  He looks huge, though because he is really tall and thin with lots of fur.  I am very strict on his diet... and he is ALWAYS hungry. He is very active. I am wondering if I should loosen up and feed him more. 

Maybe I'll check in on the food group too.

Interesting, Marie - we have a 6 m/o mini ALD; totally different from my medium guy, who was 32 lbs at 3 1/2 when we sadly lost him last year, who ate when fed but was more of a a finicky eater -- this one SCARFS down everything in a matter of seconds. Haven't weighed her lately but I'd say she's maybe 14 lbs, supposed to grow to 20/22. I may meet you over in the food group….

[Deb's Yarrow and Schatzi]

It's difficult to say.  Yarrow's parents were both 60 pounds and she's already outgrown them by 10 pounds at 8 months.  I read that large breed dogs (retrievers included) can continue to grow for 15 months.  Yarrow's obviously taking after a grandparent or great-grandparent.

Sky is adorable.  If she is of mini stock, then she was done growing by 8 months.  If she is of standard stock, she will continue to grow til about 18 months.

Knew I could count on Nancy (a name I know for quite a long time here) to gauge this. A relief for me and my mini I need to fit on the plane with us in Aug. when she'll be exactly 8 mos. and is looking promising. If she stays that size hope to have another frequent flier in the family!
