How big is a Goldendoodle full grown?

15 to 90 pounds across every size this breed comes in, standing 21 to 25 inches at the shoulder. No registry recognizes this cross, so these are typical ranges rather than a standard.

How can I tell how big my Goldendoodle puppy will get?

Weigh your puppy and enter its age in the calculator on this page. It is already set to the extra large growth curve for this breed, so it works backwards from where your puppy is now rather than from the breed average. Four to six months is when the estimate is most reliable.

How often does a Goldendoodle need grooming?

A curly or doodle coat needs a groom every 4 to 6 weeks under published guidance. Over a year that adds up, and the grooming cost estimator works out what it comes to for a dog this size.

When does a Goldendoodle stop growing?

Weight gain slows to almost nothing at around 11 months for a dog in the extra large size class, and the chest and frame keep filling out for months after that. Height finishes earlier than weight in every breed.

How big is a mini Goldendoodle full grown?

GANA puts a Miniature at over 14 inches but under 17 inches at the shoulder, typically 26 to 35 pounds. If your puppy is heading above that, it is probably a Medium.

What is the difference between a petite, mini, medium and standard Goldendoodle?

Height at the shoulder. Petite is below 14 inches, Miniature 14 to 17, Medium 17 to 21, and Standard over 21. The weights follow from the height.

When is a Goldendoodle full grown?

A Mini is close to its adult weight by ten months. A Standard takes about a year for weight and keeps filling out in the chest for a few months after that.

Do Goldendoodles need a lot of grooming?

Yes. Published grooming guidance puts doodle coats on a four to six week cycle, the shortest of any coat type. Skipping that is how a coat ends up matted, and de-matting is charged on top of the groom.

Goldendoodle full grown

A full grown Standard Goldendoodle weighs 51 pounds or more and stands over 21 inches. A Medium is 36 to 50 pounds, a Miniature 26 to 35 pounds, and a Petite 25 pounds or less. Those four sizes come from the Goldendoodle Association of North America, which sorts them by height at the shoulder.

Fair. Four to five months is the usual time to make this estimate. It is reasonable now, but the range is still wide.

In short

Key takeaways

A full grown Goldendoodle weighs 15 to 90 lb across all its sizes.
No kennel club recognizes the Goldendoodle, so these are typical ranges built from the parent breeds and a veterinary publisher.
Most of the growing is done by about 11 months.
A curly or doodle coat means regular paid grooming, which is a real yearly cost.
The chart below shows a band, not a line, because individual dogs vary.

Timing

When a Goldendoodle stops growing

11 months

before weekly weight gain drops below a quarter of a percent of adult weight

In our figures, a dog in the extra large size class has done almost all of its weight gain by about 11 months. After that the weekly gain drops below a quarter of a percent of adult weight, which is slow enough that you will not see it on the scales week to week.

Height finishes earlier than weight. The AKC puts small breeds at full size by 6 to 8 months, medium breeds at around 12 months, and giant breeds at 12 to 18 months, with some very large breeds taking up to 24. In a breed with several sizes, the smaller variety finishes first: that is a size effect, not a breed one.

Variation

Why individual Goldendoodles differ

Goldendoodles are sorted by height at the shoulder once they are adult, not by what the breeder predicted. GANA says plainly that a breeder's size estimate for a puppy is an educated guess.

The Golden Retriever side is consistent, at 55 to 75 pounds. Almost all the size variation comes from which Poodle was used.

A first-generation Goldendoodle (one Golden, one Poodle) varies more than an F1b or later cross, where more of the litter takes after one side.

Running cost

Grooming a Goldendoodle

A curly or doodle coat is a running cost, and it is worth knowing the figure before you take a puppy home rather than after. The price per groom goes up with the size of the dog.

FAQ

Questions people ask

How big is a Goldendoodle full grown?: 15 to 90 pounds across every size this breed comes in, standing 21 to 25 inches at the shoulder. No registry recognizes this cross, so these are typical ranges rather than a standard.
How can I tell how big my Goldendoodle puppy will get?: Weigh your puppy and enter its age in the calculator on this page. It is already set to the extra large growth curve for this breed, so it works backwards from where your puppy is now rather than from the breed average. Four to six months is when the estimate is most reliable.
How often does a Goldendoodle need grooming?: A curly or doodle coat needs a groom every 4 to 6 weeks under published guidance. Over a year that adds up, and the grooming cost estimator works out what it comes to for a dog this size.
When does a Goldendoodle stop growing?: Weight gain slows to almost nothing at around 11 months for a dog in the extra large size class, and the chest and frame keep filling out for months after that. Height finishes earlier than weight in every breed.
How big is a mini Goldendoodle full grown?: GANA puts a Miniature at over 14 inches but under 17 inches at the shoulder, typically 26 to 35 pounds. If your puppy is heading above that, it is probably a Medium.
What is the difference between a petite, mini, medium and standard Goldendoodle?: Height at the shoulder. Petite is below 14 inches, Miniature 14 to 17, Medium 17 to 21, and Standard over 21. The weights follow from the height.
When is a Goldendoodle full grown?: A Mini is close to its adult weight by ten months. A Standard takes about a year for weight and keeps filling out in the chest for a few months after that.
Do Goldendoodles need a lot of grooming?: Yes. Published grooming guidance puts doodle coats on a four to six week cycle, the shortest of any coat type. Skipping that is how a coat ends up matted, and de-matting is charged on top of the groom.

How we calculate this

The adult weight and height come from the sources below. The shape of the growth chart comes from our own calculation on the open data behind a published veterinary growth standard, described on the how we calculate page. The charts are estimates built from a breed range and a population curve, not measurements of this breed.
