Munchkin Bernedoodle full grown size
Our current litter is expected to be 15 to 24 lbs full grown. That is an estimate from the parents' weights rather than a measurement of grown puppies, and the rest of this page shows where it comes from.

The parents
Start with the parents
The best guide to how big a puppy will grow is the size of the dogs it came from. Troy weighs 22 lbs and Bip Finch weighs 19 lbs, so we expect most of the litter to mature somewhere near them. We set the top of our range above Troy's own weight on purpose. A puppy can outgrow both parents, and we would rather you plan for a slightly bigger dog than be surprised by one.

Why littermates grow to different sizes
Puppies from the same litter do not all finish at one weight. Each one inherits its own mix from both sides of the cross, so a sister can mature near the bottom of the range while her brother lands near the top. That is why we give a range for the litter instead of a number for each puppy, and why we will tell you what we are seeing in the one you have your eye on.
How small a Munchkin really is
In practice, "Munchkin" means a dog you can pick up and carry. Across the cross, most adults weigh between 10 and 25 lbs and stand about 12 to 15 inches at the shoulder. A standard Bernedoodle can weigh three times that, at 70 lbs or more, which is the difference between a lap dog and a dog that fills the back seat.
