Labradoodle Size Chart
A Labradoodle is a Labrador Retriever crossed with a Poodle, and its size comes mostly from the Poodle side. The Australian Labradoodle Association of America sets three sizes by height at the shoulder: Miniature (14–16 in), Medium (17–20 in) and Standard (21–24 in), across an overall 15–65 lb. Enter a height, or the parents’ weights, to estimate.

Labradoodle sizes
The Australian Labradoodle Association of America (ALAA) sets three sizes by height at the wither. Its standard gives only an overall 15 to 65 lb, with no weight per size, so the weights here are a PawScales estimate within that band: ALAA sets height, not weight. Other associations use slightly different height bands.
| Size | Height at the withers | Adult weight |
|---|---|---|
| Miniature | 14–16 in | 15–30 lb |
| Medium | 17–20 in | 30–50 lb |
| Standard | 21–24 in | 50–65 lb |
| Age | Miniature | Medium | Standard |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 mo | 8.3 | 13.5 | 19.4 |
| 4 mo | 11.5 | 19.6 | 28.1 |
| 5 mo | 14.0 | 24.5 | 35.2 |
| 6 mo | 16.2 | 28.8 | 41.4 |
| 8 mo | 19.4 | 35.8 | 51.4 |
| 10 mo | 20.4 | 37.0 | 53.2 |
| 12 mo | 20.7 | 37.1 | 53.4 |
| 15 mo | 21.3 | 38.9 | 56.0 |
| 18 mo | 21.6 | 39.1 | 56.2 |
| 24 mo ‡ | 22.5 | 40.0 | 57.5 |
Growth data starts at 12 weeks, so younger ages are not shown.
| Size | Typical crate |
|---|---|
| Miniature | 24 in |
| Medium | 36 in |
| Standard | 42 in |

Labradoodle vs its parents
A Labradoodle sits between a Labrador Retriever and a Poodle, and which Poodle is used decides the size. The Poodle standard is set by height, so the Poodle weights below are typical AKC figures.
| Parent breed | Height | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Labrador Retriever | 21.5–24.5 in | 55–80 lb |
| Standard Poodle | over 15 in | 40–70 lb |
| Miniature Poodle | 10–15 in | ~10–15 lb (typical) |
First-generation (F1) Labradoodles run bigger
Note on the Miniature: a Miniature Labradoodle is usually a multi-generation dog (a Labradoodle bred back to a Poodle, or two Labradoodles), not a single Labrador by Miniature Poodle cross, which would pair a 55 to 80 lb dog with a 10 to 15 lb one. Treat Miniature as a multigen size, not a first cross.
Growth notes
What makes one Labradoodle litter bigger or smaller:
- The Poodle parent drives the size. A Standard Poodle gives a Medium or Standard Labradoodle; the smaller sizes come from a Miniature Poodle several generations back. The Labrador side is fairly steady at 55 to 80 lb.
- First-generation (F1) dogs vary the most. An F1 is half Labrador and half Poodle, so littermates can land anywhere between the two. Multi-generation Australian Labradoodles (F1b, F2 and beyond) are a little more predictable in size and coat, but still are not fixed.
- ALAA sets height, not weight. We estimate a weight for each height class, so a dog can sit a little outside the band. We do not repeat any breeder’s weight promises; the parent figures are AKC and the growth curve is published data.
The method, with two examples
The three sizes are the ALAA categories, measured by height at the shoulder. The association does not attach a weight to each size, only an overall 15 to 65 lb, so we estimate a weight band inside that range and scale the Salt et al. (2017) median growth curve to each size’s representative weight, capped at the adult weight. Because the Poodle parent sets most of the size, go by the parents and weigh your own puppy.
Example 1. A Medium puppy at 6 months weighing 29 lb is about 72% of its adult weight, projecting to roughly 40 lb, inside the 30 to 50 lb Medium band.
Example 2. A Standard puppy at 4 months weighing 28 lb projects to about 57 lb, inside the 50 to 65 lb Standard band.

About the data
Sizes are the Australian Labradoodle Association of America (ALAA) categories. The weight-by-age figures scale the Salt et al. (2017) growth data (60,951 healthy dogs) to those size bounds. Mixes vary more than purebreds, so for your own puppy the puppy weight calculator (enter the current weight) gives a tighter estimate.
