Lando is a Sheepadoodle who just wants to be little. The opposite of Tom Hanks’ Josh Baskin character in the 1988 comedy Big, Lando wants nothing more than to be small enough to fit on his human’s lap. Sadly for Lando, he’s much more big than small.
To know a Sheepadoodle is to know this breed loves to cuddle. However, as much as Sheepadoodles adore affection, they may not have the best sense of their own size. Weighing anywhere from 50 to 90 pounds and standing up to 27 inches tall, a Sheepadoodle is a far cry from a delicate lap dog. That doesn’t mean Lando, or your Sheepadoodle, won’t try.
How cute are Lando’s tail wags (unless they’re in your face) and his repeated attempts to find a spot on dad’s lap big enough for his entire body? The not-so-little pup eventually figures out how to back into dad’s lap and get at least his backside into the cuddle zone.

The adorable canine gives mom and dad a good laugh, but Sheepadoodle parents are well-versed in Lando’s routine. Sheepadoodles, by nature, love affection and closeness. At the same time, the breed is large and tends to run hot, which means some Sheepadoodles prefer to stay cuddle-adjacent, finding a cooler spot near their humans without quite touching.
Many, however, are just like Lando and want nothing more than a full-on cuddle despite their size. While a human lap may be lap-dog sized, most Sheepadoodles would rather squeeze themselves in than miss out on an immersive cuddle with mom, dad, or another favored human.
