Key Factors Influencing Size:
- Parental Genetics:
- The size of the Bernese Mountain Dog and Standard Poodle parents strongly influences the puppy’s adult size.
- Diet and Nutrition:
- A high-quality diet supports proper growth. Overfeeding can lead to obesity, while underfeeding may stunt growth.
- Gender:
- Males are typically larger and heavier than females.
What to Expect:
- Weight Gain: Standard Bernedoodles typically gain about 2–3 pounds per week during the first 6 months.
- Height Growth: Most of their height is achieved by 12 months, while their body continues to fill out until about 18–24 months.
- Size Variations: Some Standard Bernedoodles may weigh more than 100 pounds if their parents are exceptionally large.
Monitoring Growth:
- Regular vet checkups ensure your puppy is growing appropriately.
- If your puppy is significantly outside the expected range, consult your vet to rule out any health issues.
