Heidi is so pretty! I love her coloring, especially the sweet white spot on her chest. Her coat is so thick, too. What a beautiful girl.

Very cute!! I kind of took a breath when I opened that last picture. Heidi's size surprised me! What kind of doodle is she and how much did she weigh along the way (and her weight now?). Beautiful girl...

Thank you :) well, her mom was an F1B labradoodle and her dad was a standard poodle... I asked the breeder what she was considered and she said an F3 or an american multigenerational labradoodle. Whatever she is I love her! When I got her she was little bitty 6 lbs at 7 weeks then at 4 months she was about 30lbs and now at almost 8 months shes around 45 lbs or getting close to 50lbs... She hasn't grown much in the past few months so I'm guessing she will be somewhere in the 50's full grown but who knows! Her mom was 40 lbs and dad was 45 lbs.

All those designations can get confusing. I wouldn't have known what Heidi was considered, either. Wow, that is pretty small for 7 weeks. Oscar, (both parents are standard F1B labradoodles, making him a multi gen) was 12.8lbs at almost 8 weeks (although the breeder didn't think he'd get bigger than 40lbs fully grown, I'm certain she's very much mistaken - he'll most likely be closer to 65-70lbs). Sounds, though, like Heidi really grew fast to make up for her smaller baby size. Like Heidi, Lucy (standard F1B labradoodle) was about 45 lbs at 8 months, and she's topped out at close to 55 lbs at 3 yrs old. They do 'fill out' after 1 yr (Lucy continued to gain up through her 2nd year, albeit slowly).
