Based on breed standard it is above average. There have been many breeders breeding without regard to the breed standard and some times because this is a breed in development we are surprised by the size of the offspring. STANDARD: 21 TO 24 Ideal size for a standard female is 21 to 23 and for a male 22 to 24. Weight range tends to be 50 to 65 pounds. MEDIUM: 17 TO 20 The Ideal size for a medium female is 17 to 19 and for a male 19 to 20. Weight range tends to be 30 to 40 pounds. MINIATURE: 14 TO 16 The Ideal size for a miniature is 14 to 16 with no correlation between height and sex of the miniature Australian Labradoodle. Weight range tends to be 16 to 25 pounds.

Our one year old dog Willy has 18" legs. (Shoulder to ground about 29") Everyone stops and exclaims to me "How huge he is"!! I thought all Labradoodles were this tall. Am I alone with a uniquely tall Labradoodle? p.s. The other Labradoodle we know must be a mini- the size of a cocker spaniel??
