Size: Miniature Poodles have a shoulder height of 11-15 inches and weigh 15-17 lbs. Poodles are very elegant in appearance. They have a long, narrow muzzle, slight stop (point at which the forehead meets the muzzle), dark eyes, and wide ears. Miniature Poodles have flat backs, straight, docked tails and small, oval feet.

Coat: The Miniature Poodle has a distinctive fine, frizzy, wooly coat similar in texture to sheep’s wool. Solid white is most common, but the coat may also be solid grey, brown, apricot, or black. There are three distinct grooming styles for show Poodles: puppy clip, continental clip, and English saddle clip. Miniature Poodles do not shed, making them a good match for allergy sufferers, for which reason they are commonly used for crossbreeding.

Character: The Miniature Poodle is sensitive, intelligent, lively, playful, proud, and elegant. It bonds closely with family and makes a great companion. Miniature Poodles are very smart, obedient, and graceful, which makes them one of the most popular pets in the world. The Miniature Poodle is bouncy, alert, and usually eager to play.

Temperament: The Miniature Poodle gets along well with other animals, other dogs, and children. It is best to socialize it as a puppy. Miniature Poodles will announce the arrival of visitors, but are generally friendly toward them. Poodles are highly adaptable and make good watchdogs. Very small children should be watched around Miniature Poodles to prevent snapping or rough play.

Care: Show Poodles should be groomed by professionals, and will require a substantial investment of time and money. Poodles which are not intended for show competitions usually have longer hair on the head, legs, and ears, and are trimmed every five to six weeks. Miniature Poodles have a long lifespan of 13-15 years. Miniature Poodles require frequent human companionship and should not be left to live outdoors.

Training: The Miniature Poodle is highly intelligent, making training a fairly simple process. They quickly understand what is expected of them and can learn a wide variety of tricks and games. Poodles are likely to enjoy the training process. Any effort put into training the Poodle will reap large rewards.

Activity: The Miniature Poodle requires less exercise then the Standard Poodle, but should be walked or allowed to play outdoors. It should do fine with apartment life.
