Welcome to the Atlanta area group. I'm 100 miles away but Atlanta is the closest and most fun group. Grits is beautiful! Love the name. And he is sooo big. I really like the big doodles. I'm a breeder (but mostly a doodle lover) and everyone is always asking for the smaller doodles. Look forward to meeting you. We really should try to organize something soon in the Atlanta area.
We cannot remember when he stopped getting taller. He filled out until he was almost two. He got a little bit too big and weighed 94 pounds for awhile but trimmed down when we measured his food more carefully. He only gets about 2 1/2 cups a day. Our 10 month old puppy is eating 4 cups of food a day and has for several months.
Hi There! I am new as of last week to this board, I saw you status and thought I would offer what I know. There is a group called "Where's the poodle in my Doodle?" F1's can definitely look more Poodle or more Retriever. Like any family the kids can take more after Dad or Mom.. but usually they are a blend of the two. We have an F1b so she's only 25% Retriever -- she definitely looks more like a Poodle but has a loving, easy going temperament and a looser curl, we just got an F1 last weekend and she doesn't look very poodley. Right now her hair is fluffy, long and straight. (I hope she gets a little curl) This young though, it's hard to tell. Doodles coats change MANY times. At least once from 8m-12m, and usually they have 5+ coat changes in their life from what I've read.
Sounds like Grits is going to be one big doodle!!! I kept a diary of sorts on my page of the girls height and weights, Samantha has a perfect lab body - short legged, barrel chested and at 23" tall she weighs 69lbs which the vet said was a perfect weight for her body type (wish I got that answer from my doctor!). Charli is built like a poodle - over 27" tall, 49 lbs and she is all leg!
