poodles come in a wide variety of sizes, from standard-sized adult dogs to very small sizes. This is one of the characteristics of poodles, and even dogs of the same breed can vary in size.
Poodle sizes are generally categorized into four sizes:
Standard Poodle (Large Poodle): The most common size, about 45-60cm at shoulder height. They generally weigh between 20 and 32 kilograms.
Medium Poodle: One size smaller than the Standard Poodle, about 35 to 45 cm high at the shoulders. They generally weigh between 12 and 18 kilograms.
Miniature Poodle (Small Poodle): One size smaller than the Medium Poodle, about 28 to 35 centimeters high at the shoulder. They generally weigh between 6 and 8 kilograms.
Toy Poodle (Mini Poodle): Smallest size, about 25cm or less at shoulder height. They generally weigh around 3-4 kilograms.
These size variations are characteristics born from genetic factors and breeding choices, and are recognized as the same poodle breed. However, there is a big difference in appearance and physique between a large poodle and an ultra-small poodle, so it may be difficult to tell at a glance that they are the same breed.
Each size poodle has slightly different personalities and feeding needs. It is important that you understand the characteristics and requirements of each size and choose the right size for your lifestyle and your dog’s needs.
