The Toy Poodle, despite its small stature, holds a distinguished position in the world of dogs. It combines elegance with athleticism and is a versatile companion. Poodles come in three size varieties: Standard (over 15 inches tall), Miniature (15 inches or less), and Toy (no more than 10 inches). Despite size differences, all Poodles share a well-proportioned build. In dog shows, they often sport the elaborate Continental clip, but many pet owners prefer the practical Sporting clip that highlights their muscular physique. Poodles defy stereotypes with their eagerness, athleticism, and exceptional intelligence. Standards excel in athleticism, but all Poodles are highly trainable and adaptable companions.
