A dog’s size is measured at the withers, not at the top of the head. The withers are the highest part of the back at the base of the neck.

According to the Goldendoodle Association of North America (GANA), Goldendoodles fall into four size categories:

• Standard Range: Height at the withers over 21 inches (53 cm); weight 51 pounds (23 kg) or more.

• Medium Range: Height at the withers over 17 inches (43 cm) but under 21 inches (53 cm); weight 36–50 pounds (16–23 kg).

• Miniature Range: Height at the withers over 14 inches (36 cm) but under 17 inches (43 cm); weight 26–35 pounds (12–16 kg).

• Petite Range: Height at the withers below 14 inches (36 cm); weight generally 25 pounds (11 kg) or less.
