The majority of our Labradoodles and Goldendoodles
Average size is 20-22" so are considered mediums
MINI/MEDIUM:This Term is VERY Deceptive,
In fact I Just hate even using it with the Doodle Breeds
God Willing this will help you be a informed shopper
The "Ideal" size for a Mini/Medium is
UNDER 22 inches. at top of shoulder>>35-50lbs
A MINI DOODLE IS Typically NOT THE SIZE OF A MINI POODLE
Do NOT be deceived!!!!
We do NOT Artificial inseminate ,nor do we infuse
Spaniels or terriers into the mix to try to reduce size!!!
Some Info on the web is very confusing concerning Sizes
NO breeder can honestly guarantee you size
These are afterall hybrids,
If you have size restrictions where you live I would Not Recommend
a Labradoodle or Goldendoodle ,
you could consider a Aussiedoodle Weight range Vary.
(weight is not a good judge,btw Height would be floor to top of shoulder)
Doodle Sizes & Differences in Doodles
F1 First Generation =This is Parent Breed bred to poodle. this is first generation, resulting in healthier offspring! Hair type can be smooth like a lab,wirey look like a Irish wolfhound or Wavy/shaggy, they can shed or no,,I do not recommend this cross for people with severe allergies.
F1B Doodle=This is Parent Breed. Bred back to Poodle Please be aware that F1B GOLDENDOODLES and Aussiedoodle produce a very Curly coat requiring alot of care,
The First Generation Goldendoodle and Aussiedoodles are generally a very soft coat, low to no shed.
F1 Goldendoodle's and Aussiedoodles=This is Golden Ret/Aussie, bred to Poodle,,I have found the Goldendoodle's and Aussiedoodles are also very consistent in the coat and Very likly to be non shedding and allergy friendly,,this produces a wavy curly shaggy look puppy,Normally are Very Low to No shed ,and typically allergy friendly. (I do NOT breed F!B Goldendoodles/Aussiedoodles,This mix does produce alot of coat,They resemble a poodle type coat!!)
We do NOT breed Past First Generation any longer, we did with Labradoodles , but we no longer breeder labradoodles due to the inconsistancy in coat no matter what the generation, We have choosen to stick with first geneation Goldendoodles and Aussiedoodles
Some breeders are trying to Tell people that they can guarantee size on a Doodle ,,
This My friends This is Impossible!!!,these are after all HYBRIDS,
Do NOT expect to get a smaller Labradoodle or Goldendoodle on first Cross
A larger gene can crop in there anytime.even in the same litter!!!
Some breeders are giving a false hope to people by Artificial Inseminating,
Toy/Miniature Poodles to their Standard Size Retrievers. Just to sell you a puppy
The Health Issues that can stem from this breeding practice are Numerous
Resulting in Longer backs, Shorter legs, and most importantly
negative growth issues,We Do NOT do that here!!!
We feel that using Artificial Insemination in our opinion, is bad breeding practices
If god meant it to happen it will happen naturally,
if it doesn't we wont take shortcuts to achieve it!!
Some Breeders can be very deceptive in telling you that they breed ,"true minis" or "comfort doodles" with the hybrids there is no such thing, The German Bred poodles in a breeding program is working well for allot of us,, these are 14-19" typically ,,
they Do produce the smaller size in their offspring,
I have been very lucky in using this method to achieve my minis without jeopardizing
the health or Look of the breed to accomplish it.
Now some breeders are using Cockers and Terriers infused in the breed
to get a smaller size,,Ok I'm shaking my head here,,LOL
IMO These are one of the worse breeds to consider as a family dog.
I have formed this opinion from several years as a Groomer & Vet Tech.,
most spaniels and terriers have very nasty temperaments
and are not suitable for service therapy or even family dogs
since they are so unpredictable.
Not to mention the health issues to name a couple,
Major skin and persistent ear problems,along with cancers all of which runs
in most AKC Breeds, why? because they have Inbred and Linebred so long!!!
