Pounds. The dark band is where most Weimardoodle dogs end up; the light band is the full range between the smallest and largest parent.

Height runs 20–26 inches at the shoulder, against 18–24 in for the Standard Poodle and 23–27 in for the Weimaraner.

Size figures assume a Standard Poodle parent, the size closest to the Weimaraner. A different poodle size moves the whole range.

Coat, energy and training

Shedding

Very low to moderate

Poodle has a low-shedding coat, so some puppies shed little. It is not guaranteed: coat type varies even within one litter, and no dog is truly hypoallergenic.

Energy

Moderate to very high

Plan on long daily walks plus real exercise, such as running, fetch or a sport. A yard alone will not tire this dog out.

Trainability

Very high

The Poodle rates very high and the Weimaraner very high; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming

Low to very high

Brush a couple of times a week.

Temperament

The Poodle is usually described as active, proud, very smart. The Weimaraner as friendly, fearless, obedient. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
