How can I tell a poodle from a poodle? The gait of a purebred Poodle should be spacious, precise and easy to run. A good purebred Poodle should be no less than 9 inches tall at the shoulder and more than 12 inches tall in size. The coat of the Purebred Poodle should be very soft and flexible. 1. Gait The Purebred Poodle should run with a spacious, precise and easy movement. The front legs and hind legs are coordinated from the side, the front torso stretches easily, the hind limbs drive strongly, and the back line remains solid. 2. Body Type The body type of a purebred Poodle should first be very well-proportioned, while the height of the Poodle should be between 9.5 inches and 11.5 inches. If some poodles are slightly higher in size, but all indicators and appearance are very standard and proportionate, that can also be appropriately relaxed some. But no matter how, a good purebred poodle should not be less than 9 inches tall at the shoulder and more than 12 inches tall. If you’re looking for a purebred poodle, you can’t be considered a purebred poodle. 3. coat The coat of a purebred poodle should be very soft and flexible. Especially after the poodle has been bathed and brushed, the coat stands on the body and produces a powder puff effect overall. At the same time a good purebred Bichon has a soft and thick undercoat, while the outer pelt is somewhat curly and coarse. The combination of the two different coats will give a soft and solid feeling when touched by the dog owner, feeling as elastic as velvet. 4. The most recommended color for a mature purebred poodle is white, but if it’s a Bichon puppy you can relax a bit, for example, some puppies have light yellow, cheese or apricot shades around the ears or on the body, it doesn’t matter much because some Bichon puppies will turn white when they grow up. Some Bichon Frise puppies will turn white when they grow up. But if it is an adult Bichon Frise with more than 10% of its coat in other colors, it is not acceptable and naturally cannot be classified as a good purebred Bichon Frise.
