Labradoodle Growth Stages and When They Stop Growing

Labradoodles are a cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Poodle, and their growth stages are influenced by their parent breeds.

Labradoodles typically reach 50-60% of their adult height by around 4-6 months old, and their weight increases rapidly during this period.

Their growth rate slows down significantly after 6 months, with most Labradoodles reaching about 75% of their adult height by 9-12 months old.

Labradoodles usually stop growing in height between 12-18 months old, but their weight may continue to increase until they are around 2-3 years old.

Labradoodles grow at a different rate than purebred dogs, and their adult weight can vary significantly. Their growth rate and adult weight are influenced by their parents' size.

The Labradoodle growth chart provides estimates based on a Labrador Retriever crossed with a standard Poodle. If your puppy's Poodle parent is a toy size, they will likely be significantly smaller than these estimates.

Here is a breakdown of the estimated weights for Labradoodles at different ages:

Keep in mind that these are just estimates, and your puppy's adult weight may vary based on their genetic makeup.

Labradoodles typically need 12 to 18 months to reach their full size, especially if their parents were on the heavier side of the average weight spectrum.

A 6-month-old Labradoodle may weigh anywhere between 40 and 55 pounds, with males weighing more than females.

In terms of height, a 6-month-old Labradoodle puppy will stand around 14 to 18 inches tall at the shoulders, but this varies based on their genetic makeup.

Labradoodles are not an official American Kennel Club breed and are not recognized by any other major kennel club as of this publication in April 2021.

Here's a rough estimate of Labradoodle growth by age:

Keep in mind that these are just general guidelines, and individual Labradoodles can vary significantly in size and growth rate. Always consult with your veterinarian for specific advice on your pet's growth and development.

At 6 months old, a Labradoodle can weigh anywhere between 40 and 55 pounds, with males typically weighing more than females. As for height, they'll stand around 14 to 18 inches tall at the shoulders.

Most Labradoodles need 12 to 18 months to reach their full size, so if your pup is younger than a year old, they're likely still growing. You can refer to a Labradoodle weight chart to estimate how many more pounds they might put on.

Oversized paws are a classic puppy feature indicating that your pup still has more growth underway. If you purchased your puppy from a breeder, you can contact them about your Labradoodle's weight to get a better estimate.

Adult Labradoodles typically weigh over 45 pounds, with some weighing as much as 100 pounds. Most Labradoodles will weigh between 50 and 90 pounds.

Here's a rough estimate of full-grown Labradoodle weights based on their parents' weights:

Labradoodles stand 21 to 24 inches tall when measured from paw to shoulder, or approximately two feet excluding their neck and crown of the head.

Labradoodles typically weigh between 50-90 pounds on average as adults.

The size of your Labradoodle will depend on the size of the Poodle parent breed, with toy and standard size variations impacting their offspring's size, along with other genetic factors.

Most Labradoodles stop growing between 12-18 months of age.

Unfortunately, Labradoodles are prone to several congenital health disorders, including hip dysplasia, which can lead to costly vet bills.

Pet insurance can provide a financial safety net for these unexpected expenses, giving you peace of mind as a responsible pet owner.
