The poodle comes in three varieties, which are Toy, Miniature, and Standard. The standard Poodle is medium to large in size, and has a graceful yet sturdy build. He carries himself with elegance, and something of a regal look about him. These dogs are known for their abundant, tight curls, with a coat that is profuse and harsh in texture. The coloring of the Poodle can vary and includes brown, red, silver, cream, black, white, and apricot. They have long, tapering muzzles, and a wise, thoughtful expression. The ears are long and hang to the side of the face. The height of the standard Poodle is around 22-25 inches for females and around 24-27 inches for males. These dogs weigh in at 40-65 pounds for females, and around 55-80 pounds for males. Miniature Poodles are around 10-14 inches in height, and weigh in at around 15-20 pounds. The Toy Poodle is just 4-7 pounds in weight, and reaches around 5-10 inches in height.
