Understanding Sheepadoodle Size: Standard, Mini, and Micro Sheepadoodles
When considering a Sheepadoodle, one of the most important factors is size. Sheepadoodles come in multiple sizes, ranging from the large, Standard Sheepadoodle, to the compact and travel-friendly Micro Sheepadoodle. Whether you’re looking for a big, fluffy companion or a small, easy-to-manage pup, understanding the different Sheepadoodle sizes will help you choose the perfect fit for your family.
At Designer Doodles by Kim, we specialize in raising healthy, well-socialized Sheepadoodles in a variety of sizes, ensuring that every family can find the perfect puppy for their lifestyle.
Sheepadoodle Size Guide
Sheepadoodle size is determined by the Poodle parent in the mix. Since Sheepadoodles are a cross between an Old English Sheepdog and a Poodle, their size can vary significantly depending on whether a Standard, Mini, or Toy Poodle was used in breeding.
Below is a breakdown of the three main Sheepadoodle sizes:
1. Standard Sheepadoodle (Large Sheepadoodle)
???? Weight: 50-85+ lbs
???? Height: 20-27 inches at the shoulder
???? Best for: Families with space for a larger dog
The Standard Sheepadoodle is the largest of the breed and is created by crossing an Old English Sheepdog with a Standard Poodle. These dogs are known for their gentle, affectionate nature and make excellent family companions.
✔ Best for active families, larger homes, or those wanting a full-sized Doodle.
✔ Tends to have a calm, easygoing temperament once mature.
✔ Great for those looking for a therapy or service dog due to their size.
2. Mini Sheepadoodle (Medium-Sized Sheepadoodle)
???? Weight: 25-50 lbs
???? Height: 15-20 inches at the shoulder
???? Best for: Families who want a Sheepadoodle that’s still playful but not oversized
A Mini Sheepadoodle is created by breeding an Old English Sheepdog with a Miniature Poodle. They retain all the loving and intelligent traits of the Standard Sheepadoodle, but in a more manageable size.
✔ Ideal for smaller homes, apartments, or families who want a medium-sized dog.
✔ Energetic and playful, but easier to handle than a Standard Sheepadoodle.
✔ Great option for those looking for a hypoallergenic dog with a smaller build.
3. Micro/Micro Mini Sheepadoodle (Smallest Sheepadoodle Size)
???? Weight: 10-25 lbs
???? Height: 12-15 inches at the shoulder
???? Best for: Individuals or families looking for a compact, easy-to-transport dog
The Micro Sheepadoodle (also called a Micro Mini Sheepadoodle) is the smallest version of the breed. This size is created by breeding an Old English Sheepdog with a Toy or Tiny Poodle.
✔ Perfect for travel, city living, or those wanting a lap-sized Sheepadoodle.
✔ Requires less space but still has the Sheepadoodle’s playful and affectionate nature.
✔ Easier to carry, groom, and manage for first-time dog owners.
Choosing the Right Sheepadoodle Size for Your Lifestyle
The best Sheepadoodle size for you depends on your home, lifestyle, and personal preference. Consider the following factors:
✔ Do you have space for a larger dog? Standard Sheepadoodles need room to stretch out.
✔ Do you want a dog that’s easy to travel with? Micro and Mini Sheepadoodles are easier to transport.
✔ How much exercise can you provide? All Sheepadoodles are active, but Standard ones may need more room to run.
✔ Do you have allergies? All Sheepadoodles have low-shedding coats, but grooming maintenance varies by size.

Sheepadoodle Size & Growth Stages

???? 12-18 Months Old: Standard Sheepadoodles will reach their full adult size around this time, while Mini and Micro Sheepadoodles are fully grown sooner.
Knowing your Sheepadoodle’s size category will help you prepare for their growth, food requirements, and space needs.
