What Is the Most Popular Goldendoodle Size?

Goldendoodles come in several size categories—Standard, Medium, and Mini (and even Toy, in some cases). Size is determined by breeding a Golden Retriever to Poodles of various sizes.

Standard Goldendoodles

• Weight Range: Typically 50+ pounds (some can reach 70+).

• Pros: Great for families wanting a larger companion; often a sturdy jogging partner.

• Cons: May need more space and can be more expensive to feed and groom.

Medium Goldendoodles

• Weight Range: Usually 30–45 pounds.

• Pros: A balanced option for those wanting something not too big, not too small.

• Cons: Less commonly available than Mini or Standard.

Mini Goldendoodles

• Weight Range: About 15–35 pounds.

• Pros: Ideal for apartment living or smaller homes; still playful and active but more portable.

• Cons: Can be fragile compared to a larger Goldendoodle and often in very high demand.

Popularity

• Over the past few years, Mini Goldendoodles have surged in popularity because of their manageable size, lower exercise needs (compared to a standard), and adaptability to various living situations.

While every size has its loyal fans, the Mini Goldendoodle is arguably the most popular. However, choosing the right size depends on your lifestyle, home environment, and personal preference. Always consider space, exercise needs, and grooming costs before deciding.
