My Maui is an Australian Multi-Gen who is now 14 weeks and everyone who meets him says how big he is for a puppy. At 12 weeks he weighed 18 pounds and I'm trying to get an idea of how big he might…Continue

"My Maui not only tugged me, but also barked incessantly when he saw other dogs on our walks. I started off by being consistent with the " no barking" in a loud and determined voice and I immediately stopped in my tracks. Once he stopped…"

"My Maui is now 5 months old, and when he was 11weeks I recall taking him out pretty often, about every hour, but I also limited his water intake when I wanted to control how often he went. If I knew I was going to leave to run errands I'd take…"

"Cosmo is a medium multi-generation Australian Labradoodle, too. Interestingly, he was the second-smallest puppy in his litter at birth, but the second-largest at 8 weeks. I don't know how he and his littermates compare as adults. He is almost 2…"

Ginny Nightingale replied to Maria J Lopez's discussion When does a Labradoodle reach its full size?
"I have found this rule to be true very often and would agree that is is your best bet. My pup was 20 pounds at 16 weeks and now at 1 1/2, he has just reached 40 pounds and is not growing anymore. His height has not changed in 6 months, but he has…"

"Yes, slow growth in large breeds is a great bonus when it comes to bones. Good to know, thanks."

Andrea Johnston replied to Maria J Lopez's discussion When does a Labradoodle reach its full size?
"Sue you are right in mentioning this aspect of growth. Bone maturity is so important. I could scream at people I see on bikes or just jogging towing an obviously young dog behind them as they run. This is not exercise for the dog but a form of…"

"I remember our vet saying it would be around 16-18 months before they were really considered full grown also. However, we were discussing best age to start running with them and at what age it would be safe. My two really just didn't gain much…"

Andrea Johnston replied to Maria J Lopez's discussion When does a Labradoodle reach its full size?
"I know from the giant breed I used to raise - Great Danes - that large dogs don't reach maturity until at least 18-24 months. With our doodles, who are standard size, I would say they achieved body maturity at around 16 months of age. I think…"

"Thank you. Maui is a medium, but he was also the biggest in his litter, so he may be bigger than all his brothers & sisters +-5lbs ( a guess). I'll make sure to weigh him at 16 weeks."
