Do NOT expect to get a Mini Goldendoodle or a Mini Labradoodle.just because a breeder says they artificially inseminate with a toy or mini Poodle!! It just is not going to happen. A larger gene can crop in there anytime. even in the same litter!!! Not to mention that it can certainly jeopardize their health, with longer backs and shorter legs. (Even more growth problems)
Aussiedoodles are the smallest we breed because Australian Shepherds do come in all sizes as does the poodle. Our Mini/Medium Aussiedoodle puppies are expected to mature between 25 and 45 pounds, 14 to 18 at the shoulder. A perfect size!
We do NOT artificial inseminate, I did Not do this 20yrs ago when I bred MINI Australian Shepherds, I didn’t have the luxury of out crossing to another smaller breed then and I can’t see breeding in problems in the Aussiedoodle, by doing it now.
When I bred mini Australian Shepherds , we bred smaller to smaller, avg size ended up 14 and 20-30lbs .
Australian Shepherds come in all 3 sizes, toy, miniature & standard sizes as do Poodles.Doodlesville Breeds Mini, Mini/Medium and Medium/Standard, Aussiedoodle.
I have YET to see a Labrador or Golden Retriever come in smaller sizes!
Some breeders are giving a false hope to people saying that they artificial inseminate Toy/Miniature Poodles to their Standard Size Retrievers.
The health issues that can stem from this breeding practice are numerous. Resulting in longer backs, shorter legs, most importantly negative growth issues , we do NOT do that here!!!
We feel that using artificial insemination is bad breeding practice. If God meant it to happen it will happen naturally, if it doesn’t we wont take shortcuts to achieve it!!
Some breeders can be very deceptive in telling you that they breed ,”true minis” or “comfort doodles” or the newest term “Micro” goldendoodles/labradoodles or Mini Goldendoodle Mini Labradoodle (PLEASE!!!!) with the hybrids there is no such thing.
Now some breeders are using Cockers and Terriers infused in the breed to get a smaller size,, Ok I’m shaking my head here,sheesh
IMO these are one of the worse breeds to consider as a family dog.
I have formed this opinion from several years as a groomer & Vet Tech. Most Spaniels and Terriers have very nasty temperaments and are not suitable for service therapy or even family dogs since they are so unpredictable. Not to mention the health issues to name a couple, major skin and persistent ear problems, along with cancers all of which run in most AKC breeds because they have inbred and linebred so long!!!
Sizes
Standard: height: 22- UP ( that is floor to shoulder)> weight range tends to be 45lbs-and Up
MINI…this term is VERY deceptive with some breeders so be informed,, In fact I Just hate even using it with the goldendoodle or Labradoodle breeds God willing this will help you be a informed shopper of Mini Goldendoodles and Mini Labradoodles.
With the Labradoodles and Goldendoodles, there is NO way a breeder can guarantee size. EVER.
Aussiedoodles… if I say mini/medium they will be 25-45lbs when grown depending on how the genes fall and the size of the parents. I have had some Mini/Toys that are under 25lbs.
Our Doodle Sizes Chart
I use MOYEN Poodles in my breeding program as well as miniatures, The Moyen Poodle falls in-between the Miniature & Standard Poodle
size. Theyu are not a official AKC size variation, however the Moyen Poodle has become popular
outside the USA.
Honestly No breeder can even guarantee sizes, it all depends on how the genes fall, for each puppy in every litter.) Our Goldendoodle and medium standard Aussiedoodles are 19-24" 40-65lbs on average.
USA.
In closing: Don't Be Deceived by some of these breeders out there. We do NOT artificially inseminate , nor do we infuse Spaniels or Terriers into the mix to try to reduce size!!! (some breeders are now doing that to unsuspecting buyers) Read the fine print and ask lots of questions with those breeders.
Some info on the web is very confusing concerning sizes, NO breeder can honestly guarantee you size of a Doodle, These are after all hybrids,
If you have size restrictions where you live I would Not recommend a Labradoodle or Goldendoodle , consider a Aussiedoodle, the weight range Vary and Aussiedoodle sizes are easier to predict size.(weight is not a good judge, btw Height would be floor to top of shoulder)
