Comes in toy, miniature, and standard sizes; pick the size that matches your home and budget.

Size depends on parent dogs; ask how the breeder sizes litters and plan for the larger end.

Athletic and playful; standards need real daily exercise and brain games.

Often energetic like a Golden; needs walks, play, and training to avoid restless chewing.

Curly coat mats without maintenance; professional clips every few weeks are common.

Coat type varies from loose waves to tight curls; shedding may be low but brushing is not optional.

Top-tier learner for obedience and sports; thrives on clear criteria and variety.

Typically eager and quick with positive methods; keep sessions upbeat to hold attention.

Alert but often affectionate; socialization smooths reserved tendencies in some lines.

Usually friendly with kids and guests; jumping training matters in exuberant adolescents.

Reputable breeders screen hips, eyes, and more depending on variety.

Hybrid vigor is not guaranteed; demand testing on both parent breeds and meet the parents.

Smaller Poodles often live long lives; standards still enjoy many years with good care.

Expectations track parent sizes and genetics; ask breeders about longevity in their lines.

Well-bred puppies are pricey; grooming is a steady line item in the budget.

Market prices swing widely; avoid bargain puppies that skip health clearances.
