Quote
from an Owner
Poodles come in three varieties: Toy, miniature and standard. They are wonderful,
devoted companions and family dogs. Poodles crave and need human attention. They love nothing more
than to be around their owners, whether it's sitting by their side or playing
ball in the yard. Toys are the more delicate of the three varieties, although they are still a
sturdy little dog. Toys are true lap dogs. Miniatures and Standards make great
kids' dogs, as they love to play and they have lots of energy.

The Toy
Poodle is 10 inches or under at the highest point of the shoulders.
The Miniature Poodle is 15 inches or under at the highest point of
the shoulders, with a minimum height in excess of 10 inches. The
Standard Poodle is over 15 inches at the highest point of the
shoulders. Color:
The coat is
an even and solid color at the skin and comes in blues, grays,
silvers, browns, cafe-au-laits, apricots and creams. The coat may
show varying shades of the same color. Parti-colored dogs (two or
more colors) are disqualified from the show ring. |
| Basic
Requirements: Toy
Poodles need less room for exercise than the other two varieties. They are a
good choice for apartment living. Miniature and Standard
Poodles need an average-sized yard with plenty of room to play. All three
varieties need twice-weekly brushing and monthly bathing and trimming. Many
owners keep the coat trimmed short to reduce grooming time. |
| Temperament:
Poodles are happy, lively
dogs. Shy or aggressive Poodles are not the norm. Most Poodles
make good watch dogs, barking at the sign of strangers. Poodles make
excellent obedience dogs, and they are highly intelligent and easy
to train. |
