How Big Do Labradoodles Get?

The intelligent, happy and sociable Labradoodle was originally bred to be a service dog, but it has come to be known as a wonderful companion as well. This popular breed comes in three sizes.

  1. Standard Size

    Miniature Size

    • The miniature Labradoodle can measure from 14 to 16 inches in height and can weigh 15 to 25 lbs.
