A. Appearance standards No matter which kind of Poodle is currently popular, it is actually the same breed, the difference only lies in the difference in size, and there is no difference in the evaluation standards for the breed itself. Generally speaking, the standard Poodle is 38.1 cm or more in height and weighs 9 kg to 11.5 kg; the miniature Poodle is 25.4 cm to 38.1 cm or more in height and weighs 5 kg to 8 kg; the toy Poodle is 25.4 cm or less in height and weighs 3 kg to 4 kg. Second, the posture characteristics of its posture is very proud, full of confidence, sensitive and intelligent, and the Poodle has an extraordinary temperament as well as a unique dignity. The Poodle is a very active, alert and graceful breed, with good body proportions and athletic movements, displaying a confident posture. They are easy to approach, easy to train, and are a very loyal breed. The smaller size allows it to be friendly with children and makes it more popular with people. Morphological Characteristics Height: Male Toy Poodle is 9.5-11.0 inches (24.0-28.0 cm) tall at the shoulder, female Toy Poodle is 9.5-11.0 inches (24.0-28.0 cm) tall at the shoulder. Coat color: The color of the toy poodle (Teddy) is very variable, white, gray, oreo coffee, apricot, black, etc. There will also be shades of different locations in the body, for example, the hair of the ears will be darker, in the chest color is lighter, in the United States there are many breeders will use different colors of poodles to breed different shades of flower poodles. Among them, the most expensive is the gray teddy, and flower poodles are now becoming more expensive, all as a result of market supply and demand. The least expensive are black teddy and white teddy. The head: the head is significant, straight and proportional to the body. The length must be slightly more than 2/5 of the shoulder height, not too heavy or too big, but not too fine either. The skin must be well angulated underneath. Skull: distinctive shape; width less than half the length of the head (the central axis forms an axial angle of approximately 16 to 18 degrees). When viewed from above, the entire skull is elliptical in the longitudinal direction with a slightly convex profile. The longitudinal axis is slightly divergent. Eyes: arched above; moderately pronounced and covered with long hairs. Nose: Conspicuous and well developed, with vertical occipital bones; nostrils open. Black, white and grey Poodle nose color is black; brown Poodle nose color is brown; apricot Poodle nose color is brown throughout the dark brown range and may be black, no best color, all acceptable, but avoid possible fading. Muzzle: The upper profile is straight; the length of the muzzle is approximately 9/10 of the length of the skull. lower jaw: The two branches of the lower jaw extend almost parallel to each other. The lower jaw rather than the upper lip margin outlines the lower contour of the muzzle. Lips: Slightly developed, fairly tight, moderately thick, with the upper lip lying over and not exceeding the lower lip. Black, white and grey dogs have black lips; apricot dogs have the entire brown range of lip colors and may also be black, there is no optimum color, all are acceptable. The corners of the mouth must be pronounced. Jaw / Teeth: Normal position and strong teeth. Lack of first or second molar in the upper jaw and second or third molar in the lower jaw will not receive a deduction in judging or breeding selection. Face: not remarkable. The shape is outlined by the cheek bones. The external eye sockets are well defined but, only slightly sunken. Chewing muscles and cheek anatomical base are slightly developed; cheekbones have a very slight arch. Eyes: with an eager expression, located at the level of the stop, slightly inclined. Eyelid contour: almond-shaped; black, white and grey Poodles and apricot Poodles have black or dark brown eyes; brown Poodles may have dark amber eyes. Ears: very long, drooping along the sides of the face, located on an extension that passes below the outer corner of the eyes from the upper end of the nose, flattened, widening behind the base of the ear, rounded at the tip and covered with very long curly hair. The ears of the Poodle do not reach the corners of the mouth and are not considered “excellent”. Neck: Sturdy, slightly arched at the back of the neck, medium length and well proportioned. Enough to allow the head to be held high in a dignified manner. No hanging flesh. Oval at the intersection of the neck; lower in length than the length of the head. Body: The Poodle has a well-proportioned overall trunk appearance, with the length of the trunk usually greater than the height of the shoulders. Shoulders: Moderately developed back. Backline: Short and harmonious. Neither arched nor collapsed. The height from the ground to the shoulders is almost equal to the height from the ground to the hips. Waist: firm and well muscled. Hips: rounded but not sloping. Chest: descending to the level of the elbow, with a width equal to 2/3 of the depth (from the spine to the sternum.) The circumference of the chest cavity, measured from below the shoulder, should be at least 10 cm more than the height of the shoulder. Ribs: rib cage oval, wide at the spine. Prothorax: normal size; the end of the sternum must protrude slightly and be located fairly high to allow easy elevation of the head respectfully. Abdomen: folded up but not excessively. Forequarters: forelegs very straight, parallel to each other, elegant, well muscled and well boned. Elbow to ground height is 5/9 of shoulder to ground height. shoulders: sloping and well muscled.

Black and gray, black toenails for black dogs, brown toenails for brown dogs, and white dogs may have dark to black toenails throughout the keratinous color range, which must match their coat color. White toenails are still out of order. Apricot colored dogs have a range of toenail colors from dark brown to black, with no optimum color, and all colors in between are acceptable. Hindquarters: When viewed from behind, the hind legs are straight, parallel to each other, well muscled and very pronounced. The fly joint has a distinct angle. Lumbar joint: the angle made by the femur and the angle made by the tibia – hock must be very pronounced so as not to cause the hips to tilt in the case of some legs upright. Thighs: muscular and strong. Fly joint: vertical. The Poodle should be born without wolf paws on the hind legs. Tail: Located fairly high at the level of the waist. It is cut off at 1/3 of the distance from the body, or in the case of the Curly-coated Poodle at half the natural length of the tail. However, a long, upturned tail is not out of place. Corduroy Poodles may retain the entire length of the tail. The tail is tilted upward during exercise.
