I am wondering if anyone else bought the runt of the litter and can guide me on approximate size of my second generation mini goldendoodle. Molly was supposed to be small not mini, mini. When we got her she weighed 6.4 lbs and 4 weeks later only weighed 9.1 lbs. Her mom is 17" and weighed 35 lbs. and her dad a poodle was 17" and 25 lbs..he was not a mini. I am wondering how much she might weigh given she only puts 2.5 to 3 lbs a month?? The breeder thought she would be between 16-17" and 25-30lbs. I think that is on the high end. Would love your input....thanks.
Duffy wasn't the runt but he was close to 9 lbs @ 11 weeks. He is now 8 months & weighs 27 lbs. The breeder might not be that far off because she is a female & won't be as large as the males. I have to say I am very anxious to see how big Duffy gets, I hope he stops growing I think this is a perfect size.
Rough formula that works well - take the weight at 4 months and double it. For small dogs, adds, medium 5-10, large 10-12. That woul be within a few LBS of the adult weight. Work out to the pound for bothmy dogs.
Halas is a mini F1. Father is 8 or 9 lb poodle. Mother is golden retriever at around 40 lbs. I got Halas at 8 weeks, and I think he was around 6 lbs. 9 lbs at 3 months; 13 lbs at 4 months; 17 lbs at 5 months. He leveled off at 22 lbs at 7 months, and he's only gained a pound or 2 since then. He's about 23 or 24 lbs at almost 15 months old now. He may fill out a little more, but I don't think he'll get much heavier than 25 or maybe 26 lbs.
