Teacup Goldendoodles are a popular breed, but what can you expect from them when they reach full growth? They typically weigh between 10-20 pounds and stand about 10-14 inches tall.

Their size is just one aspect to consider, as their temperament and grooming needs are also important. Teacup Goldendoodles are known for being friendly and outgoing, making them great family pets.

Their low-shedding coat requires regular grooming to prevent matting and tangling. With proper care, their coat can be a beautiful, curly addition to their overall charm.

In terms of exercise needs, Teacup Goldendoodles require moderate activity to stay happy and healthy. Daily walks and playtime are essential to keep them physically and mentally stimulated.

Teacup Goldendoodle Size

At eight weeks, mini goldendoodles typically weigh between 4-9 pounds, but it's difficult to predict their adult size at this age.

The size of a goldendoodle is influenced by its parent lineage, and the height of the parents determines the size of the puppy.

Mini goldendoodles generally finish growing between 7-10 months of age, and their weight starts to level off during this time.

A rough estimate for a mini goldendoodle's adult weight is to multiply its 8-week weight by 4.3.

Expect half of a goldendoodle's adult weight to be reached by four months, with standard goldendoodles taking a month or so longer to reach this milestone.

Standard goldendoodles, like other large dog breeds, will grow for a longer period of time, with a general estimate being to multiply their weight at 4 months by 2 and add 5-10 pounds.

While these estimates can be helpful, a DNA test like Embark's can provide a more accurate prediction of a puppy's adult size by analyzing its genetic makeup.

Genetics and Prediction

Genetics play a significant role in determining the adult size of your Teacup Goldendoodle. Miniature Poodles are usually between 10 to 15 inches tall and 10 to 15 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, it's impossible to predict with certainty what the puppies will look like and which parent they'll take after most.

A DNA test can predict your puppy's adult size. Embark, a canine genetic testing company, offers a test that looks at the genes affecting your dog's body size blueprint.

It's not just about guessing by the size of your puppy's feet! A cheek swab can be sent to Embark to run the genetic test and provide results.

Measuring and Growth

Measuring your teacup goldendoodle is an essential part of their growth and development. You'll need to measure their neck girth, chest girth, back length, and height to track their progress.

To measure neck girth, loop a soft tape around your dog's neck just above the shoulder blades, where a collar would comfortably rest. It should fit snugly but not too tight.

Chest girth is measured by wrapping a soft measuring tape around the widest part of the chest behind their front legs. You'll want to take this measurement regularly to track any changes.

A teacup goldendoodle's back length is measured from the base of their neck to the tail base, using a soft measuring tape. This measurement will help you determine their overall body length.

Height is best measured when your pup stands straight next to a wall, with their feet spaced evenly. Run the tape from the floor to the top of their withers, which is the highest point of their shoulder blades.

Teacup goldendoodles typically reach half their adult weight between four and five months old, and their weight will begin leveling off between 7 and 10 months of age. They should reach their full adult weight by their first birthday.

Their weight will begin leveling off between 7 and 10 months of age, and they should reach their full adult weight by their first birthday.

Dogs can finish growing anywhere between 1-2 years of age, but generally reach their maximum height by a year of age.

A puppy's growth pattern can be influenced by its parent breeds, with Golden Retrievers growing at a slower rate in terms of height than Standard Poodles.

First-generation Mini Goldendoodles, resulting from a 60lb mom and a 10lb dad, haven't had their growth curve thoroughly studied, making it difficult to predict their adult size.

However, subsequent generations of hybrid breeds, such as F1b goldendoodles, 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.

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

It's essential to keep track of your pup's height and weight to monitor their health and identify any potential issues early on.

Regular check-ins with your veterinarian will help ensure your goldendoodle grows and develops as expected.

Measuring Your Dog

To get accurate measurements, you'll need a soft tape measure. This is especially important for a soft tape measure that can comfortably wrap around your dog's neck without being too tight.

Neck girth is measured just above the shoulder blades, where a collar would rest. Measure the circumference of your dog's neck at this point.

Chest girth is measured by wrapping the tape around the widest part of the chest behind their front legs. This gives you a clear idea of your dog's chest size.

Back length is measured from the base of the neck to the tail base. Hold the tape in place and pull it straight across the spine.

Height is best measured when your dog stands straight next to a wall, with their feet spaced evenly. The tape should run from the floor to the top of the withers, the highest point of their shoulder blades.

Puppy Size and Types

At eight weeks, it's difficult to tell which puppy will be the biggest, but generally, the smallest puppy will stay the smallest and the biggest puppy will stay the biggest.

Mini goldendoodles typically weigh 4-9 pounds at 8 weeks of age, while standard goldendoodles usually weigh around 9 pounds or more at the same age. Medium goldendoodles often fall somewhere in the 8-10 pound range.

A rough estimate of adult weight for mini goldendoodles can be made by multiplying their 8-week weight by 4.3.

Like most dog breeds, goldendoodles do most of their growing in the first six months of life, with many mini goldendoodles reaching half of their adult weight by four months.

Expect the weight of mini goldendoodles to start leveling off between 7-10 months of age, while standard goldendoodles will continue to grow for a longer period.

You can also use a DNA test, like Embark, to predict your puppy's adult size, which is based on their genetic makeup and is more accurate than simply guessing by their size.

We can't guarantee an adult size for any puppy, and occasionally, puppies may go outside their typical weight ranges.

Veterinary Costs and History

Teacup Goldendoodles are a relatively new breed, and as such, their veterinary costs can be unpredictable. The average cost of a Teacup Goldendoodle's first year is around $1,500 to $2,000, which is higher than that of a standard Goldendoodle.

Regular check-ups and vaccinations are essential for maintaining your Teacup Goldendoodle's health, and the cost of these can add up quickly. Some Teacup Goldendoodles may also require more frequent veterinary visits due to their small size and potential health issues.

However, with proper care and attention, many Teacup Goldendoodles can live long and healthy lives, with an average lifespan of 12-15 years.

Veterinarian Costs Vary by Size

Veterinarian costs may vary by size, which is something to consider when choosing a vet for your goldendoodle. For instance, some vets charge more for services rendered to larger dogs.

Mini goldendoodles may require different levels of pet medical advice than standard-sized goldendoodles. This is because size variances manifest in different physiological proportions.

A vet specializing in your chosen doodle size will likely provide optimal care for your new goldendoodle companion. This is especially important for preventive care and addressing potential health issues.

Our History

Our history with mini goldendoodles began in 2004 with a desire to downsize the standard size goldendoodle. We had started raising standard goldendoodles, but they were just too big for most households.

We had raised a few litters of standard size goldendoodles in colors including black, chocolate, phantom, and cream/red. Families loved them, but we kept getting requests for smaller puppies.

Our compromise resulted in our first litter of mini goldendoodles in 2004. We've been raising mini goldendoodles ever since, and we've never looked back.

We've had the opportunity to raise puppies that range from 10-100 lbs, which is a significant size range. This is a testament to the versatility of the mini goldendoodle breed.

We've worked with a variety of colors, including white, cream, light golden, medium golden, dark golden, and red. Each color has its own unique characteristics and charm.

Our approach to raising and selling puppies is very laid back. We don't participate in high pressure sales or make unattainable claims about our puppies.

We've been fortunate to have many years of satisfied customers, and we often get the response: "I met one of your puppies the other day... I want one just like that." This speaks to the quality of training our customers commit to their puppies.
