How To Estimate Your Schnoodle’s Full Size

1. DNA Testing

Besides looking at Schnoodle growth charts and reading Schnoodle size guide articles, a good way to estimate your Schnoodle’s full size is to do a DNA test. Many people choose to DNA test their Schnoodle as a puppy to predict their adult size. Embark Vet offers a health test which will give you a predicted adult weight for your puppy.

2. Weight Prediction Formulas

Another way to predict a Schnoodle’s full size is to use a weight prediction formula. Most formulas require that you take a Schnoodle’s weight at the age they reach half their adult size and then multiply it by two.

Birth to 2 Weeks

Between birth and 2 weeks of age, Schnoodles are deaf and blind. They are unable to look after themselves and are fully dependant on their mothers as the only senses they have are taste and touch. Schnoodles spend majority of these 2 weeks sleeping and nestling as close to their mother as they can. Their muscles are not developed and they cannot walk.

3 Weeks to 12 Weeks

From 3 weeks to 3 months of age, Schnoodles start to become more independent. At the beginning of this period they will get their hearing and sense of smell. Their eyes and ears open so they become much more inquisitive about the world. They start to interact with litter mates, bark and walk a little as their muscles start to get stronger.

Schnoodles start to become more aware of their surroundings and start to interact with others. Weaning begins during this stage so they start eating food other than their mother’s milk. By 8 weeks, they have full use of their senses and usually go to their new home.

4 Months to 6 Months

Teething begins between 4 and 6 months of age. Many Schnoodles undergo a big growth spurt at this age as they are only eating puppy food now. At this age, your Schnoodle will be at least half their adult weight.

7 Months to 9 Months

Schnoodles reach sexual maturity between 7 and 9 months of age. This may occur even earlier if you have a small Schnoodle like a Toy Schnoodle. Female Schnoodles go through their first heat if they are not desexed.

10 Months to 12 Months

Most sizes of Schnoodle are fully grown or nearly fully grown by 12 months of age. They’ll get their adult coat and you’ll eventually have to swap over to adult food. At this age Schnoodles are extremely active and also very inquisitive. They love exploring their world and learning new things.

Unfortunately, this is the age where you might start having problems with your Schnoodle as it is the adolescent stage. Schnoodles may start displaying some regressive behavior like not listening to your training commands, being a bit aggressive or chewing up stuff. This is especially the case if your Schnoodle is not desexed as their hormones will start to kick in. Just remember that this won’t last long and be patient as your Schnoodle is a teenager.
