Poodle breed classification

1. Giant Poodle: Apart from its larger size, the Giant Poodle is basically the same as the Poodle, with curly or corded distinctive curly hair. It has a lively, alert, and elegantly moving character, with good body proportions and agile movements, showing a confident posture. After traditional trimming and careful grooming, its hair displays an innate unique and noble temperament.

2. Standard Poodle: The Standard Poodle stands over 39 cm at the shoulder, weighs 20-32 kg, has well-proportioned body proportions, and a square build. It needs traditional trimming and careful grooming to give it a distinctive look and unique noble posture. Although it can also be trimmed into a lion shape, many people like to clip it into a lamb shape.

3. Miniature Poodle: The exact origin of the Miniature Poodle is unknown. It has a 400-year history throughout Western Europe and is mainly used for breeding, play, and display. Its shoulder height is over 28 cm to 35 cm. Its overall appearance must be like a reduced Medium Poodle, and it should maintain the same body proportions as the Medium Poodle as much as possible, without looking short and small.

4. Toy Poodle: The Toy Poodle originated in the 17th century and is mainly used as a pet for play and as a companion dog. Its shoulder height is under 28 cm, with an ideal height of 25 cm. Overall, it maintains the same appearance and body proportions as the Miniature Poodle, meeting all the required standards, but it must not appear short and small. Only the top of the occiput may be less obvious.

How to choose a Poodle

1. When selecting a Poodle puppy, the requirements for its coat are very high. When buying, special attention should be paid to three aspects: coat color, coat volume, and coat quality. Check whether there are stray hairs, which usually appear on the soles, chest, front of the mouth, and top of the head.

2. For a Poodle puppy, choose one with neat, firm teeth and a scissor bite. Do not choose one with an underbite or overbite.

3. A Poodle's eyes should be almond-shaped (small bean eyes), not large and round.

4. A Poodle's back should be short and straight, and its shoulders should be strong and sloping.

5. A Poodle's ears should be round, with length reaching the cheeks. Be careful if a small puppy's ears are too long, like a Cocker Spaniel's.

6. A Poodle's tail is vertical, usually docked by 1/3 to 1/2, not docked completely.

7. A Poodle's toes should be round and compact, not too long or too thin. The paw pads should be thick. An overly large paw may indicate a larger body size in the future.

8. A Poodle's gait should be relaxed and elegant. This is the Poodle's unique temperament.

9. Coffee-colored and apricot-colored Poodles are allowed to have liver-colored noses, eye rims, and lip lines, with amber eyes. Poodles of other colors all have black noses, eye rims, and lip lines, with brown eyes.
