Micro Goldendoodles:

  • Size & Weight: Micro Goldendoodles are the smallest size Goldendoodle, typicallyweighing 10-25 pounds and standing 10 to 12 inches tall at the shoulder.
  • Characteristics: Micro Goldendoodles are known for their small, petite size and playful nature. They are comparable to a toy poodle in size. They are similar to Mini Goldendoodles in the fact that they are ideal for individuals or families living in smaller apartments or homes.
  • Activity Level: Despite their size, Micro Goldendoodles are typically very active. They are energetic, love playtime, and love to be social. They oftentimes will have periods of “zoomies” when they have a burst of energy, but then are very cuddly and affectionate when settling down.

Mini Goldendoodles (Medium Goldendoodles):

  • Size & Weight: Mini Goldendoodles, also referred to as Medium Goldendoodles, fall into the “Medium dog” category, typically weighing between 35 to 45 pounds and standing 12 to 17 inches tall.
  • Characteristics: Medium Goldendoodles offer a balance between the smaller Micro and larger Standard sizes. They are known for their friendly and adaptable nature, making them a great fit for a variety of living situations. Mini Goldendoodles are often chosen by families looking for a dog that is not too small but still manageable in size. We love that they are a smaller dog with a big dog personality!
  • Activity Level: Mini Goldendoodles are active and enjoy regular exercise. They thrive in households that can provide both physical and mental stimulation, such as walks, playtime, and training activities.
