Here’s the detailed, growth-focused profile for the Poodle Standard, written to complement your puppy weight calculator.

Breed Overview

The Standard Poodle is the largest of the Poodle varieties (Standard, Miniature, and Toy) and is renowned for its intelligence, elegance, and versatility. Despite their refined appearance, Standard Poodles originated in Germany as water retrievers, where their athletic build and curly coat were ideal for swimming and hunting. Over time, they became popular across Europe, particularly in France, for their skill, grace, and trainability.

Standard Poodles are active, friendly, and eager to please. They excel in obedience, agility, water sports, and therapy work, making them a great choice for active families or individuals. Their curly, hypoallergenic coat requires regular grooming but sheds very little.

Size Category: Large.
Tracking growth is especially important for Standard Poodles because their rapid development in the first year can put strain on growing bones and joints. Steady, healthy growth supports proper skeletal formation, reduces the risk of orthopedic problems, and ensures they maintain the lean, athletic build typical of the breed.

How Much Bigger Will My Poodle Standard Puppy Get?

Most Standard Poodle puppies reach 50% of their adult weight by about 5–6 months. A common guideline is to double their weight at 16 weeks to get an estimate of their final size.

They generally reach their adult height by 12 months, but they may continue filling out and adding muscle until 18–24 months. While not technically a giant breed, Standard Poodles have a longer growth period than smaller Poodle varieties.

Poodle Standard Growth Tips

Nutrition

• Feed a large-breed puppy formula until 12–15 months to promote steady growth and joint health.
• Offer 3 meals daily until 6 months old, then transition to 2 meals per day.
• Maintain a lean build to protect joints and support agility.

Exercise

• Provide daily walks, play sessions, and training, avoiding repetitive high-impact activities until growth plates close (around 15–18 months).
• Include mental stimulation through puzzle toys, scent games, and obedience training.

Health Watch

• Standard Poodles are generally healthy but can be prone to hip dysplasia and gastric torsion (bloat).
• Avoid rapid weight gain during growth to protect developing joints.
• Keep track of their growth rate to identify sudden changes that may signal health issues.
