Before choosing

Full description

The Barboncino corresponds to the Miniature Poodle variety recognised by FCI Standard No. 172. Height at the withers is over 28 cm and up to 35 cm. It retains the Poodle's balanced proportions and is alert, intelligent, active and highly responsive to training. It can live well in an apartment, but it is not sedentary: it needs walks, play, scent-based enrichment and companionship. Its curly coat requires frequent brushing and scheduled professional grooming. Limited shedding is not a guarantee that the dog is allergen-free.

Characteristic details
Health 3/5 Poodle (Miniature) has an overall health rating of 3/5. It compares known predispositions and preventive-care needs, but it is not an individual diagnosis. This is an average breed indication: age, health, training, socialization and the individual dog's history can substantially change the outcome.
Advantages
  • Known predispositions support more informed prevention and screening.
  • The score helps compare average breed health profiles.
Things to consider
  • An individual animal can still develop conditions not predicted by the score.
  • Genetics, weight and preventive care can materially change risk.
