How much did or does your labradoodle puppy weigh at 10 weeks?
My puppy only weighs around 5lbs. No ribs are showing, she is active and eats and goes potty well.

The problem is, since the Labradoodle is NOT a breed, there is no general rule of thumb about size. The poodle could have been either standard or miniature, so you dog could be a small version or a large version. The only person who can tell you if your pup is progressing normally for her size is a vet.

There is no breed standard for a mutt, so no one can tell you. They are unpredictable, especially because we don't know what generation cross she is, and what Poodle size is in her. When you breed a mutt, you are complicating and taking a gamble with the genetics. Plus, the breeding stock of these mutt breeders aren't proven either. She's a Labrador x Poodle mix, not a "Labradoodle", or else you'll be supporting the unethical "designer dog" industry. If you adopted this puppy, good job. I just hope you didn't buy it.
She sounds healthy enough. As long as you can feel her ribs, but not see them, she should be fine.
