About the Miniature Poodle
The Miniature Poodle is a small dog breed originating in Germany / France. Adult dogs typically weigh 10 to 18 pounds and live 12 to 16 years. The breed is described as highly-intelligent, eager-to-please, low-shedding, trainable.
Households wanting a small-to-medium, highly trainable companion and willing to budget for grooming every 5–7 weeks. Owners unwilling to commit to regular grooming or daily mental stimulation.
Adult Miniature Poodles need about 45 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 60 minutes. The coat is curly-coated with low shedding, and weekly brushing keeps the coat manageable.
