Carlie's weight

[Cathie and Carlie]

Our doodle Carlie is 11 months old and she has been 44 pounds for almost three months. Should we be concerned? She is a medium laboradoodle

Concerned about what? Too much weight, not enough weight, stopped gaining weight?
What does your vet say?
If you had not weighed her and did not know a number how does she visually look to you? Healthy? :)

All good points. If you can feel her ribs a bit and she is eating and doing all the usual she may have stopped growing and all is well.

[Cathie and Carlie]

Thanks so much , I guess that's it.

[Cathie and Carlie]

Thanks so much. We just thought she would grow larger. She does seem heathy , throws up occasionally . The last four times weighted she was 44 pounds.

Smaller dogs usually complete their skeletal growth by 8 months of age. I'd ask your vet his opinion of her weight at her annual check-up, which I'm guessing is coming up? 

[Cathie and Carlie]

Thanks , we are worry worts. You are right.

Milo stopped growing at that time as well.  He is also a medium labradoodle - at about 19 inches in height and 30 pounds.  Our vet said the ribs should have a very minor covering of fat, but you should be able to feel them all when you rub your hands down their side.

The Labradoodle comes in three size variations: Standard, Medium, and Miniature.

• The Standard Labradoodle is usually 22 to 24 inches in height for a male and 21 to 23 inches in height for a female, while both can range in weight from 50 to 65 pounds.

• The Medium Labradoodle is usually 18 to 20 inches high for a male and 17 to 19 inches high for a female, with both weighing from 30 to 45 pounds.

• The average size for a Miniature Labradoodle is between 14 to 16 inches and 15 to 25 pounds.

Not sure where those size statistics are coming from, but there are a LOT of standard labradoodles here on DK who are much taller and heavier than that. JD is 25 inches and 80 lbs, and we have a lot of doodles here who are quite a big larger. Some as tall as 28" and some over 100 lbs. As mixed breed dogs, there really is no consistency in size, especially at the upper end. The ALDs do seem to be more consistent.
