How many types of Goldendoodle sizes are there?

You need to understand that every breeder agrees that the Goldendoodle has three distinct sizes. However, some breeders globally have gone further to spilt the smallest size category into two separate groups. There is a fourth category referred to as “Petite”. This petite is supposed to be the category that contains toy poodles.

A toy poodle is a small dog with a slender neck and short muzzle. Its height from paws to shoulder is about the length of a banana. If we are talking about all types of poodles, the toy poodles are completely different in size scale from the mini poodles. They are much smaller than the mini poodle.

However, when we are talking about the Goldendoodle, there is a slight issue. Some breeders include the toy poodle variant and the mini poodle variant of the Goldendoodle together in one group and just call everything “mini”. While some breeders separate the toy poodles and call them petite Goldendoodles.

Finally, the last straw in the heart. We have those who split the mini group into two and we have those who eradicate the medium group and as if that’s not confusing enough, we have people who either do the generous act of accepting all size groups or spilt the mini while getting rid of the medium. If you have followed the sizing matter so far, you will realize that people can be divided into four groups.

1. Those who say mini, medium, and standard (no to petite)

2. Those who say petite, mini, medium, and standard (yes to everything).

3. Those who say mini and standard (no to petite, no to medium).

4. Those who say petite, mini, and standard (no to medium)

On average there are 3 types of sizes, therefore everyone just agrees that Goldendoodles have three size ranges.
