Miniature Poodle overview

The Miniature poodle is the mid-size in the Poodle breed with the Toy Poodle being slightly smaller and the Standard Poodle bigger.

The Miniature Poodle originated in France as a companion dog. It is a miniaturisation of the German herd-guarding and water-retrieving standard poodle. They are independent, agile, thoughtful and responsive, and are easily obedience trained and good with children.

Their size makes them suitable to the urban environment, and they like both hot and cold climates. Their woolly, springy, curly resilient hair requires very regular grooming, but they do not shed hair.
