miniature poodle

Petite curly canine

A miniature poodle is a medium-sized variety of poodle, standing between the standard and toy sizes—typically 10 to 15 inches at the shoulder.

Like all poodles, miniatures are intelligent, athletic dogs with curly coats that don't shed much.

The breed originated as a smaller version of the water-retrieving standard poodle.

She competes her miniature poodle in agility trials.
