Why that size for a Goldendoodle
| Goldendoodle | Crate length | Typical adult weight |
|---|---|---|
| Mini | 30 in | 15 to 35 lb |
| Medium | 36 in | 35 to 50 lb |
| Standard | 42 in | 50 to 90 lb |
Doodle sizes depend on the poodle parent, so ranges are wide. The top of each range picks the crate: a mini that may reach 35 pounds needs 30 inches, a medium near 50 pounds 36, and a standard that may reach 90 pounds 42. If the breeder gives the parents' weights, type the range into Adult weight.
The weight bands follow the crate chart PetMD publishes; the plus-4-inches rule is the one Chewy and crate maker MidWest give. Breed weights are typical adult ranges and vary from dog to dog. Sizes here are lengths; widths differ by brand.
