Did I get a little dood?

[Sherry Woods]

Hi all!

I just brought my baby home and I am totally shocked at how small he was compared to the rest of his litter. I love him unconditionally, but is he going to be tiny? I was hoping for a big dood!

He was 7lbs at his 5.5 weeks and only 12lbs at 8.5 weeks.

His paws feel smaller to me, while his siblings looked huuuuge. His mom was a large golden retriever and dad was a huge standard poodle.

Any thoughts?? How much were your standard goldendoodles at 8 weeks?

Mine is a mini. She weighed 4lbs when I brought her home at 10 weeks. So yours doesn't really seem small to me. She weighs 13lbs now at 9 months and fully grown. Somewhere on here is a thread about doodle weight by age. People have listed how much their doods weighed from the time they brought them home until they stopped growing.

Our puppy weighed 5.5lbs at 8 weeks and 10 lbs at 11 weeks. Now at 18 months she weighs 22 lbs. She is a mini golden doodle and a joy.

oh, and my doodles mom was a stocky but big and thick red golden retriever, and his dad was a black medium sized standard poodle, hope that helps!

Ruby was 7 pounds at 8 weeks. At 7 months she is 30 pounds of perfect puppy love. If you love her and she eats a normal amount and the vet says she's good--then just love her up!

Winnie was 10 lbs at 8 weeks, and now is 56 lbs full grown.

My medium labradoodle was 9.5 lbs at 8 weeks and is 52lbs at 9 months.

[Laurie, Wally & Charlotte]

My wonderful Wally weighed 12 pounds when I picked him up at eight weeks. Now, as an adult, he weighs 50 pounds. I would guess that your puppy will end up being a true standard size when he is fully grown. Congratulations, Sherry!

[Anne & Mr. Haley]

Haley was about 9 pounds at 8 weeks and at six years old a lean 65 pounds.

[Diane, Baker & Oskar]

Baker was 5# at 8 weeks & is now 95#...he was predicted to be 55-60#...he's an F1 with 55-60# parents...genetics :)

Wat do you mean by #? Are these inches, pounds, kg's or cm's?
I thought it would be pounds but that means he weighs 43 kg . Is that really so? Wow that's really cool. What did you feed him?! :-D

As you can see by just the early input below their weight at this age isn't really going to tell you a whole lot.  Your first close guess will be at 16 weeks.  Take the weight an double it an then add +/- 10 lbs and that will be approximate.  That is for a standard size doodle.  There is also a weight group where people have tracked their doodles weights you can check that out as well.
