Hi,I just picked up an english cream american goldendoodle yesterday, she's 8 weeks old, but only weights 5.8 lbs. The breeder told me she should be 50 lbs full grown but she also said it was the…Continue

L.M. replied to Shane Woodard's discussion New puppy, too small?"With all of the doubts and worries you are presenting, I think your best bet is to return your pup...as I said before, I hate suggesting this, but if later on you are unhappy with your dog's size, then what will you do?? If you have so…"
Thom, Aureo & Bowie replied to Shane Woodard's discussion New puppy, too small?"It sounds to me like the better idea for you is to go with a rescue doodle. You will then know what the adult size will be and your most important concern will be addressed. Getting a puppy and not being certain that it will be what you want when it…"
Nancy, Ned, and Clancy replied to Shane Woodard's discussion New puppy, too small?"I have a goldendoodle rescue that I got as an adult so I have NO idea what he was like as a puppy. He weighs 64 pounds but is only 19 inches tall. My point here is that he is a 'big' dog, even though he is short. He…"
Jennifer and Jack replied to Shane Woodard's discussion New puppy, too small?"I understand what you are saying my dog is 12 pounds he is a toy golden doodle and he can't play at a regular dog park because he gets scared and acts out ...you have very valid reasons for wanting a big dog....that's why I think you…"
Karen & Jackdoodle replied to Shane Woodard's discussion New puppy, too small?"You mean when your puppy is an adult, will she be as big as the puppy is in the video? I would say probably bigger.
But again, what all of us here are trying to say is that you have to be able to love and accept this puppy no matter how big…"
Shane Woodard replied to Shane Woodard's discussion New puppy, too small?"The one in the video seems to be at or just above knee height so probably 20 inches, which I would be ok with, so I guess my question is, is there a good chance mine would be that size, or would she be smaller?"
Shane Woodard replied to Shane Woodard's discussion New puppy, too small?"I was told she would be the size of one of the poodle's that was out there which is why I was fine with it. But I don't think your understanding yet, the video is showing a puppy less then 6 months old of unknown height or weight, but as…"
Karen & Jackdoodle replied to Shane Woodard's discussion New puppy, too small?"I have no idea if yours would get to the size of the puppy in the video. 28 inches is very tall. My standard doodle weighs 82 lbs, and he is only 26 inches at the shoulder. But if you know for an absolute fact that one of your puppy's parents…"
Shane Woodard replied to Shane Woodard's discussion New puppy, too small?"Yea, I guess it is height that I'm more concerned with. So that tells what his adult height and weight was, but I guess I want to know if its reasonable to expect mine to get to the size of the one in the video, the size of that puppy would be…"
Karen & Jackdoodle replied to Shane Woodard's discussion New puppy, too small?"In another video of the same puppy, the owner states:
"He is a standard, but was still a puppy under 6 months old in this video. He is now just under 18 months and weighs 71 lbs (he's all legs) and his shoulders are 28 inches from…"
Shane Woodard replied to Shane Woodard's discussion New puppy, too small?"Any guess as to what size this puppy is? If mine gets to that size, I would be totally ok, with that. I'm just not sure how much that puppy might weight, and couldnt find it any of the video comments his weight listed. What's the chance…"
Nancy, Ned, and Clancy replied to Shane Woodard's discussion New puppy, too small?"Thanks, Karen. I just know my male Springers (pure breed) have been larger than females and thought it might give Shane a better chance of bigger."
Joanne ~ Spud* replied to Shane Woodard's discussion New puppy, too small?"But huge numbers of our doodle DO SHED!"
Shane Woodard replied to Shane Woodard's discussion New puppy, too small?"I don't like animal hair all over so I've always owned non shedding dogs."
