Understanding Mini Goldendoodle Size and Expected Growth

Mini Goldendoodles are a popular breed for many reasons, but one of the most common questions they get is how big they'll get. The good news is that their size is relatively predictable, thanks to their parent breeds.

Mini Goldendoodles typically weigh between 15-30 pounds and stand between 13-18 inches tall at the shoulder. This is because they inherit their size from their parent breeds, the Toy or Miniature Poodle and the Golden Retriever.

Their growth rate is also relatively consistent, with most Mini Goldendoodles reaching their full height by 12-18 months of age.

Mini Goldendoodles come in a range of sizes, but their full-grown height typically falls between 16-20 inches.

Their weight is also variable, but on average, full-grown Mini Goldendoodles weigh between 20-40 pounds. Some may weigh as little as 20 pounds, while others may reach up to 30 pounds or more.

A Mini Goldendoodle's size can be influenced by the size of the Poodle parent used in breeding, as well as their genetics. This means that even within the same litter, you may find dogs of different sizes.

Here's a rough breakdown of the typical weight and height range of a Mini Goldendoodle during its first year of life:

Some Mini Goldendoodles may be referred to as "Toy" or "Teacup", which typically means they are smaller than the standard Mini Goldendoodle size. Toy Goldendoodles, for example, stand 13-15 inches tall and weigh between 13-20 pounds.

You can measure your mini goldendoodle's size using a soft tape looped around their neck, chest, back, and height. Neck girth is measured just above the shoulder blades, where a collar would comfortably rest.

A full-grown mini goldendoodle stands about 16-20 inches in height and weighs between 20 and 40 pounds, on average.

To measure your mini goldendoodle's height, stand them straight next to a wall and run the tape from the floor to the top of their withers, which is the highest point of their shoulder blades.

You can also use a DNA test to predict your puppy's adult size. Embark is a canine genetic testing company that offers a test that looks at the genes affecting your dog's body size blueprint.

Here's a rough estimate of adult weight for your mini goldendoodle: multiply your pup's 8-week weight by 4.3.

Mini goldendoodles typically reach half their adult weight by the time they're between four and five months old. Their weight will begin leveling off between 7 and 10 months of age.

Dogs can finish growing anywhere between 1-2 years of age, but generally reach their maximum height by a year of age and spend the remaining months filling out.

Mini Goldendoodles typically reach half their adult weight by the time they're between four and five months old.

A Mini Goldendoodle should reach their full adult weight by their first birthday.

If a puppy measures less than 1′ (at the withers) at eight weeks, it will likely be less than 2.25′ tall full grown.

Established breeds generally reproduce naturally, whereas first-generation mini goldendoodles require artificial insemination.

Subsequent generations of hybrid breeds (i.e. F1b, F2b, etc.) can grow to be larger than either parent due to the size of the golden retriever grandparent.

F1b goldendoodles can potentially have a slightly more predictable size range if the parents are similar sizes.

A Mini Goldendoodle's weight will begin leveling off between 7 and 10 months of age.

For a rough estimate of adult weight for your mini F1b goldendoodle, multiply your pup's 8 week weight by 4.3.

The older the goldendoodle puppy, the more accurately you'll be able to estimate its adult weight.

Expect mini goldendoodles to weigh 4lbs-9lbs at 8 weeks of age.

Standard goldendoodles may take a month or so longer to reach half of their adult weight than mini goldendoodles.

The larger the dog, the longer growing takes.

For mini goldendoodles, expect the weight to start leveling off between 7-10 months of age.

A general estimate for standards is to multiply your puppy's weight at 4 months by 2 and add 5-10lbs.

A fresh viewpoint: Goldendoodle Dog

Mini Goldendoodles come in a range of sizes, but on average, they stand between 16-20 inches tall and weigh between 20-40 pounds.

Their size can vary depending on the specific breeding, genetics, and the size of the Poodle parent used in the breeding process.

Mini Goldendoodles are bred by crossing a Miniature Poodle with a Golden Retriever, resulting in a dog that is small in size but big in personality.

A different take: What Is the Size of a Miniature Poodle

Despite their small size, Mini Goldendoodles are active and energetic dogs that require plenty of exercise and playtime to keep them happy and healthy.

Here's a breakdown of the typical weight and height range of a Mini Goldendoodle during its first year of life:

Mini Goldendoodles have curly or wavy coats that can come in a variety of colors such as cream, apricot, red, black, and brown.

Their round faces, floppy ears, and soft, cuddly coats make them look like "teddy bear-like" dogs.

With their moderate build combined with an athletic, energetic appeal, it's no wonder Mini Goldendoodles are a popular choice for families and individuals alike.

Genetics play a significant role in determining the size of a Mini Goldendoodle. The size of a fully grown Mini Goldendoodle will be determined, to a point, by the size of the Poodle used in breeding. Miniature Poodles are usually between 10 to 15 inches tall and 10 to 15 pounds when fully grown, while Toy Poodles are much smaller, less than 10 inches tall, and between 4 to 6 pounds when fully grown.

Mating a Toy Poodle with a Golden Retriever will likely result in a smaller dog than if a Miniature Poodle was used in breeding. However, this isn’t always the case.

A well-balanced diet that meets a Mini Goldendoodle's nutritional needs can help ensure it reaches its full growth potential. Overfeeding or underfeeding can result in an underweight or overweight dog.

The F2 generation is born when an F1 Goldendoodle is bred with another F1 Goldendoodle. The genetic makeup of each pup will differ between generations and can affect the final size of your dog.

A dog's diet and lifestyle will also affect their final size. Too much food and too little exercise will make your dog prone to obesity and its related conditions.
