Understanding the Different Sizes of Sheepadoodles: F1, F1B, Mini, and Micro MiniA Sheepadoodle is a unique and charming crossbreed that brings together the best qualities of the Old English Sheepdog and the Poodle. The Old English Sheepdog is known for its intelligence, herding instincts, and gentle, family-friendly nature, while the Poodle adds its hypoallergenic, curly coat and high intelligence to the mix. This combination creates a Sheepadoodle that’s both smart and affectionate, with a low-shedding coat that’s great for families with allergies. With the athleticism and loyalty of the Old English Sheepdog and the playful, trainable personality of the Poodle, Sheepadoodles are the ideal blend of fun, affection, and versatility, making them wonderful companions for all types of families.

At Designer Doodles by Kim, we offer a variety of Sheepadoodle sizes to fit every lifestyle and living situation. From the larger standard sizes to the compact Mini and Micro Mini versions, each size offers the same lovable personality with slightly different physical characteristics. Here’s a closer look at the different sizes we breed, so you can choose the one that’s best suited for your family.
F1 Sheepadoodle
An F1 Sheepadoodle is a first-generation cross, bred by pairing a purebred Poodle with a purebred Old English Sheepdog. F1 Sheepadoodles are typically the largest size, ranging from 50-80 pounds, with a sturdy build and a soft, low-shedding coat that combines the hypoallergenic benefits of the Poodle with the fluffiness of the Sheepdog. This size is ideal for families with larger homes or those who enjoy an active lifestyle, as these pups are energetic and love outdoor activities.
F1B Sheepadoodle
An F1B Sheepadoodle is the result of breeding an F1 Sheepadoodle with a Poodle, which increases the likelihood of a hypoallergenic, non-shedding coat. This size typically ranges from 40-70 pounds, depending on the size of the Poodle parent. F1B Sheepadoodles are a wonderful choice for families with mild allergies or those seeking a lower-shedding pet, while still enjoying the standard Sheepadoodle size and temperament.
Mini Sheepadoodle
For those who love the Sheepadoodle personality but want a smaller companion, the Mini Sheepadoodle is a perfect fit. Mini Sheepadoodles are created by crossing a smaller Poodle with an F1 Sheepadoodle, and they usually weigh between 25-45 pounds. Mini Sheepadoodles maintain the affectionate and playful nature of the larger sizes but are easier to handle in smaller living spaces, like apartments or homes with limited yard space. They’re also great for families with young children, as their size makes them less intimidating for little ones.
Micro Mini Sheepadoodle
Micro Mini Sheepadoodles are the smallest size of Sheepadoodle, typically weighing between 10-25 pounds. These tiny yet spirited companions bring all the charm of a Sheepadoodle in a size that’s easy to take anywhere! They’re ideal for those who want a lap-sized dog or are looking for a Sheepadoodle that can comfortably fit into a more compact lifestyle. With their portable size, Micro Minis are perfect for individuals or families who travel often or live in smaller spaces.
