How big will my bernedoodle puppy get?
For many people when they buy a dog, they opt for puppies or for small dogs such as a mini poodle or small poodles. Many like to get puppies that are just a few weeks of age so that they can see them grow and get big whilst they care for them.
If you plan to get tiny bernedoodles, however, you might not be able to guess their age or adult size that easily.
Tiny bernedoodles are a mixed breed dog of their poodle parent and their genes are not as easily identifiable as purebred’s genes would be. There are a lot of factors other than the parent breed gene that play a role in your bernedoodle’s size. All doodle breeds have a common thing about them; being part poodle.
Bernedoodle size varies according to dog variety. The tiny/toy bernedoodle generally gets to 10-25 lb (4.5-11.3 kg) in weight and 12-16 in (30-40 cm) height at the shoulder level. They are classed as fully grown when they are 7.5 to 11 months old.
Looking at a mini Bernedoodle or miniature Bernedoodle dog, they generally become 16-20 in (40-50 cm) tall at the shoulder and 20-50 lb (9.0-22.7 kg) in weight. They become fully grown standard bernedoodles when they are 11-13 months of age.
For standard bernedoodles, they weigh approximately 50-90 lb (22.7-40.9 kg) and reach 20-30 in (50-75 cm) tall in length from the shoulder level. They attain maturity and become fully grown standard bernedoodles at 12.5-16 months.
At what age are bernedoodles considered fully grown?
Bernese mountain dogs are giant breeds of bernedoodles. Bernese mountain dog offspring would experience a slower and more prolonged growth range in their life. As for the Bernese mountain dog, the parents themselves become fully grown-up standard poodles or standard bernedoodles once they reach two years of age.
A fully grown, big bernedoodle will grow up to 23-26 in (58.42-66.04 cm) tall. The full-grown height and weight of the Bernese mountain dog can be 23-29 in (58.42 -73.66 cm) tall and 70-90 lb (31.75 - 40.82 kg) respectively.
These figures are the same for a standard bernedoodle size. Normally for all the poodle breeds, the male dogs are larger than the female ones.
Mostly every bernedoodle dog takes about a year to become a fully grown standard bernedoodle size. Bernedoodle dogs, which are a mixed genetic makeup breed and have a Bernese mountain dog and a poodle as parents, will grow fully and reach maximum height when they are of 12 - 14 months of age.
By the time they are two and a half years old, they reach their maximum weight as well. Their growth rate is known to be longer than any other dog.
