I myself am a fan of the larger doodles. Jonah is 26" and @74#. Miko (rescue) is only @55#. I wouldn't mind at all if Jonah or miko were larger! :wink:

I will preface this by saying I love large dogs! I had a dane and now have a 100 pound lab
as for doodles, breeding a super large dog to a regular size female may not be a smart thing to do. second, the labradoodle standards do not account for dogs that size, so if you are a reputable breeder that adheres to the standard of the breed then that is too large.
Standard: 21 to 24 (not over 25) inches (or about 53-63 cm) from the wither to ground measurement. The ideal size for the female is 21-23 inches and the male is 22-24 inches. Weight range tends toward 23-30 kg (about 50-65 lbs). Oversize is a major fault.

LOL it means you have a horsie doodle!!!!!blueteal said:
the bigger ones will come around it takes time
Standard poodles have restrictions as well for the show ring but they made them bigger so someone came up with a term "royal Standard" that means larger than "the set standard" not sure if they have started showing "Royals" yet, but then I remember when parti and phantoms werent recognised colors in poodles and you couldnt register them or show them. You can still not show a multi color poodle.Thanks Michelle
I get it now I have a Royal Horsie Doodle
Here are Denver's parents
His Mom is on the tall side for a Lab(I am told)
His Poodle Dad is average and much shorter than Mom

I like have one size and one kind of each
Max a labradoodle standing 26in tall , 67lbs
and Peanut a goldendoodle 21.5 tall and 45lbs.
I am told at my vet's that max is small labradoodle compared to their other labradoodles they see at their practice.
for me it's all about temperament.
and SUE I LOVE Horsadoodles that are gentle giants aka DENVER

I'm told by my vet that Cinnamon is a small size (58lbs last check at 2 1/2 yrs) compared to her other LD's. One is still a pup at 80+lbs! I've never measured her height. Never think about it until I'm on the computer.
