Standard Poodle size questions
How big does a Standard Poodle get?
The American Kennel Club gives 60 to 70 lb (27 to 32 kg) for males and 40 to 50 lb (18 to 23 kg) for females. Individual dogs can fall outside a breed range, and a mix or a dog from working lines may be larger or smaller.
When is a Standard Poodle fully grown?
On this curve a male reaches half of adult weight at about 18 weeks (4 months), 90 % at about 40 weeks (9 months) and 95 % at about 51 weeks (12 months). On this curve a female reaches half of adult weight at about 18 weeks (4 months), 90 % at about 44 weeks (10 months) and 95 % at about 61 weeks (14 months). These ages come from the shape of the published growth chart for medium dogs, scaled to the AKC weight, so they describe a typical dog, not a particular one.
