A Labradoodle has no kennel-club breed standard and no single adult weight: depending on which Poodle was used, an adult runs 40 to 80 lb (18 to 36 kg). The charts below give a month-by-month range for each pairing.
Quick answers
- There is no Labradoodle breed standard. The American Kennel Club does not recognise the cross, so no adult weight range is set by a kennel club.
- Size depends on which Poodle was used. A first cross lands between its two parents: standard poodle cross 40–80 lb.
- Every figure is an AKC standard for one of the two parent breeds; no association sets a standard for this cross.
- If you do not know the category, the puppy weight calculator estimates adult weight from your puppy’s age and weight today, which is the better tool here.
Labradoodle growth chart by size
Each table below covers one parent pairing. Its range runs from the lighter parent’s standard to the heavier one’s, because a first-generation cross lands between its parents, and it is scaled by the growth curve for the size class that span falls in. Ask the breeder which Poodle was used; that choice, more than anything else, decides which table is yours.
Standard Poodle cross Labradoodle
Labrador Retriever × Standard Poodle, the original cross. The Labrador standard is 55 to 80 lb and the Standard Poodle's AKC figure 40 to 70 lb, so a first cross lands between 40 and 80 lb.
| Age | Weight range | % of adult |
|---|---|---|
| 2 months | 10–18 lb4.4–8.3 kg | 23% |
| 3 months | 16–30 lb7.1–13.7 kg | 38% |
| 4 months | 21–41 lb9.5–18.6 kg | 52% |
| 6 months | 30–59 lb13.4–26.7 kg | 74% |
| 9 months | 36–73 lb16.3–33 kg | 90% |
| 12 months | 38–75 lb17–34.2 kg | 94% |
| 18 months | 39–79 lb17.7–35.6 kg | 98% |
| 24 months | 40–80 lb18.1–36.3 kg | 100% |
Weigh on the same scale at the same time of day where you can. The trend across several weighings tells you far more than any single row, and in a cross it is the only thing that narrows the answer.
Where these numbers come from
No kennel club or breeder association publishes a standard for the Labradoodle, so this page does not invent one. Every weight range above is built from the American Kennel Club standards of its parent breeds — the Labrador Retriever, Standard Poodle and Miniature Poodle pages on this site carry those standards and their sources — and a first-generation cross is taken to land between its two parents. That is why the ranges are wider than on a breed page: they cover everything the two parents allow, not a figure someone chose.
The month-by-month ranges are not measurements of Labradoodles. They are the same growth curves used everywhere on this site — built from 8,459,668 veterinary bodyweight records published by Salt and colleagues — applied to each size category’s adult range. That research found dogs of similar adult size grow on similar curves whatever the breed, which is what makes the arithmetic valid for a cross with no standard of its own. The derived table, the filtering steps and the known gaps are published in full.

A Labradoodle sits in the large size class at the category this page is filed under, so these breeds share its growth curve. Each has an American Kennel Club standard behind its numbers, which a cross does not.
Frequently asked questions
How big will my Labradoodle get?
A first-cross Labradoodle from a Labrador Retriever and a Standard Poodle lands between 40 and 80 lb as an adult, because the two parents’ American Kennel Club figures run 55 to 80 lb and 40 to 70 lb. An Australian Labradoodle is a separate breed defined by height, and its association puts the whole breed at 15 to 65 lb. If you are unsure which you have, use the calculator on the home page.
What is the difference between a Labradoodle and an Australian Labradoodle?
A Labradoodle is usually a first cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Poodle. An Australian Labradoodle is a multigenerational breed developed from Labradoodles with other breeds added, and the Australian Labradoodle Association of America publishes a standard for it with three sizes set by height. They are different dogs and they weigh different amounts.
Is there a Labradoodle breed standard?
Not for the first cross. The American Kennel Club does not recognise the Labradoodle. The Australian Labradoodle, a separate breed, has a standard from the Australian Labradoodle Association of America, which sets size by height at the withers rather than by weight.
How much does a Labradoodle weigh in kg?
A first-cross Labradoodle from a Standard Poodle lands between about 18.1 and 36.3 kg as an adult. The table above gives kilograms under the pounds at every month. The Australian Labradoodle association puts its breed at 7 to 30 kg.
When is a Labradoodle fully grown?
A Labradoodle from a Standard Poodle keeps filling out until around 18 months, because it is a large dog and large dogs take longer to reach adult weight. Height usually settles first.
Is my Labradoodle puppy underweight if it is below the chart?
Not necessarily. The table spans both parents, and a puppy that takes after the Poodle will run toward its bottom. A puppy that is consistently below its range and not gaining, or has dropped from a higher line to a lower one, is worth a vet visit; a single low reading is not.
How can I tell if my Labradoodle is a healthy weight?
Body condition tells you more than the scale, and under a Labradoodle’s coat it has to be done by hand. You should be able to feel the ribs under a thin layer of fat without pressing and see a waist from above. A dog can sit inside its range and still carry too much fat.
