Full description

The Toy Poodle is the smallest Poodle variety described by FCI Standard No. 172. Height at the withers is over 24 cm and up to 28 cm, with an ideal height of 25 cm and a 1 cm lower tolerance. It should retain the Miniature Poodle's overall appearance and proportions without signs of dwarfism. It is alert, affectionate and active: its small size does not remove the need for walks, play, training and companionship. The coat needs frequent brushing and regular grooming. Interactions with young children and larger dogs should be gentle and supervised.

Characteristic details
Health 3/5 Poodle (Toy) 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.
