There are three sizes of Poodle recognized in Australia. The Poodle Club of NSW Inc represents all three sizes. The three sizes are:

STANDARD POODLE – This is the largest size of Poodle. The Poodle Standard states the height at the shoulder is 38cm (15 inches) and over. Most Standard Poodles are over 50cm (20 inches) at the shoulder.

MINIATURE POODLE – This is the middle size of Poodle. The height at the shoulder is under 38cm (15 inches) but not under 28cm (11 inches).

TOY POODLE – This is the smallest size of Poodle. The height at the shoulder is under 28cm (11 inches).

The names Teacup Poodle or Royal Standard Poodle are not recognised be Australian National Kennel Council or Dogs NSW. There is no special varieties of the Poodle breed with these names.

Cross breeds that are obtained by crossing Poodles with other breeds (eg Labradors, Cocker Spaniels, Schnauzers and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels) cannot be registered as pure bred dogs with the Australian National Kennel Council or its NSW affiliate, Dogs NSW. Such cross breeds lose Poodle characteristics especially coat quality, temperament and overall elegance.

The Poodle is an intelligent breed of dog and makes an excellent companion for a wide range of people. Poodles excel in all canine activities including Obedience trials, Agility trials, Dances with Dog and being loving home companions.
