A labradoodle is a crossbreed dog created by crossing a Labrador Retriever and a Standard or Miniature Poodle. Labradoodles were intended to be a good choice for people allergic to canine dander. The Miniature is the smallest of ALA's 3 Labradoodle varieties: ALA: 35-42 cm (14-16 in, not over 17 in) and 7-13 kg, one range for dogs and bitches alike; one range for both sexes. Typically 7–13 kg full-grown.

Questions people ask

Adult males usually weigh 7–13 kg and females 7–13 kg. Most are close to their full size by around 18 months, though the last little bit of filling out takes longer. Growth reference: Salt et al. 2017, WALTHAM (9–15 kg band).

No Miniature Labradoodle cycle figures are published here yet, so this is general guidance rather than a breed number: most females have a first season somewhere between six and fifteen months, and cycles then settle to roughly every 180 days. Smaller breeds tend to start earlier and larger ones later.

12–15 y — the usual range. Uncited — a general reference figure, not a published one · no measured cohort for this breed. How the later years go comes down to weight, teeth, exercise and regular check-ups far more than to the breed.
