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?

Rosco is a large standard and he did turn out to be what I expected.  If anything 5-10 lbs lighter than I expected (which is A-OK) but for such a large size 5-10 lbs isn't a big deviation from what I expected.  He's bigger (weight-wise) than EITHER of his parents.
Same as Charlie. I predicted her to be soemwhere between 50 ~ 55lb, but she is only 42 lb, which is fine with me!
Pretty much within the range they gave us. Definitely not way off that's for sure. He is about 75 pounds

At 7 months old, Stella still has some to grow but I expected her to be a little bigger than she is. (she is a little over 30 lbs both parents were 45) Sometimes she looks tiny to me and other times she looks bigger, she is like an optical illusion. I can still pick her up and when I'm holding her she looks like this humongous creature with legs dangling down than I couldn't possibly be able to carry.

We were told between 25-35 pounds and at the vet last week he was 31.8 and he is 14 months.  So it was a great prediction. :)
I was told 65-70, Gunner weighs 85-90 (depending on the season).  My vet predicted bigger than my breeder did, we love every oz of him!
Breeder told us to expect between 25-35 lbs.   Banjo is just over a year and weighs in at 45lbs.  His dad was a 17lb miniature poodle.

Hi Jenny,

I was supposed to have a doodle that was at least 25lbs as described by Swiss Ridge Kennels for a minimum size mini.  Somehow? she is 6 lbs at almost 5 months and the Vet says I will be lucky if she is 15lbs!  The Kennel said that it was because her mother had 11 puppies, that's ridiculous as per the vet.  I don't know what the reason is but I am just crazy in love with her but something is "fishy" about the weight.

Wow, that is really tiny but I am sure she gives BIG amounts of love. 

Jenny, Same here, were were told could be 30 lbs or so for a mini!

(I didn't tell my husband that) good thing they were wrong, she's 3 and is about 16lbs and mostly hair! Jennifer

Four pounds less than predicted.   It did take a full two years for him to reach his mature weight.

Right where the breeder told me...between 60-65 pds. He stays around 62 and has gone to 65-66 when I let him have more food than normal. Murphy is over 2 yrs old and he has been this weight for about 6-8 ,months now. So full grown I'd say.

Bella is 7 months, and should be about the same if April's (Breeder) predictions are true again.
