Toy Poodle
Dog
Unlike most breeds, Poodles can come in a variety of sizes, distinguished by adult shoulder (withers) height. The exact height cutoffs among the varieties vary slightly from country to country. The Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) recognizes four sizes of one breed, standard, medium, miniature, and toy. Non-FCI kennel clubs generally recognize three sizes, standard, miniature, and toy, sometimes as sizes of the same breed and sometimes as separate breeds. Toy poodles stand ten inches tall or less at the shoulder. Some toy poodles, such as the tea cup poodle, are much smaller. The longest lived of the poodle breed, toy poodles can live for up to eighteen years as long as they have good care, nutrition, etc.
