Sorry poodle owners, I hate those kind of breeds but the LARGE poodles are great!

If bred correctly, miniature (and even toy) poodles are EXACTLY like their standard counterparts...only smaller. The breed standard is exactly the same. The goal is to have a smaller dog that is indistinguishable from the original version. I like to think that I've pulled it off with my best minis.

I had a mini poodle growing up, and she was great. But I have to admit that I absolutely LOVED my standard. Totally awesome dog. I'm afraid that the lil ones I dealt with at the vet clinic were ill-bred, fear-biting twits, so my opinion is a bit skewed! Great avatar, BTW!

Yup--sadly, since they are so popular, backyard breeders really crank out the small dogs, and poodles are one of the #1 mass-produced-for-profit breeds. So most of the ones that people see are specimens who wouldn't even be recognized as a poodle under the breed standard.
