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.
Standard Size
The standard size Labradoodle generally reaches 20 to 24 inches in height and 45 to 60 lbs. in weight but can grow larger, depending on the parents' sizes.
Medium Size
The medium size Labradoodle should measure 17 to 20 inches at the shoulders and 30 to 45 lbs. in weight.
Miniature Size
The miniature Labradoodle can measure from 14 to 16 inches in height and can weigh 15 to 25 lbs.
