POODLE SIZES- THE TRUTH ABOUT TEACUP & GIANT POODLES| The Poodle Mom 

You are so welcome! Happy that it helps! Kudos to you for doing all the research first prior buying a dog. I wish I was as vigilant as you back then XD Best of luck in finding your future pup!

Hi Shirley! Thank you oh so much for your beautiful story. It means the world to me that there are those who believe in ethical breeding. I pray that my girls live to a ripe age similar to yours! I'm sure you gave her the best life, and she was lucky to have had you! When you are ready, let's chat regarding your other concern ^^ Wishing you all the best! Stay home and stay safe!

Thanks for watching! I really hope more people especially the ones buying poodles watch this to avoid marketing scams >_

Thank you Lucy!!

Hi! Thank you so much for watching the video! I hope it helps you in the future ^^

Hello Frank! Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our videos! 50 years!!! I would most probably be following your footsteps as I cannot imagine myself with any other breed! Oh gosh! I am in the process of making a video about pure bred vs well bred, and with your years of experience and knowledge, would you be open to getting in touch as I would love to hear your thoughts on this. I wish to offer as fair and proper information about it. How not all pure bred dogs are well bred. Only if you would we comfortable of course. An email correspondence or short chat would suffice! Do let me know! All the best!

@@poodlemom First let me say that I'm not Frank but his wife Barb. Between a full time job, managing a household, and of course my beloved pets, I don't have much in the way of free time so when I do have a few seconds, I just go on the hubbies you tube page when I want to look something up. I love your idea about pure breed vs well breed, there really is a big difference and a very important topic, and one very close to my heart since last September, I loss my last standard to a genetic disorder just short of his 5th birthday and I'm still torn up over it, see, even us old timers don't have all the answers, but I did learn from it and your project might save someone from what I went through. But oh boy do you ever have a lot of work a head of you. I can give my opinion and some personal experiences I have had in my long association with poodles, but never will claim to be an expert, just someone who loves poodles, especially my beloved standards. Otherwise, I just want to say, I left my comment to you because I watched two of your videos and I can see that you are a true poodle lover to the point that you made it a point to get a true understanding of the breed and you are what the breeds need. You don't need to be a "show dog" person, not all dogs are show dogs, you just need to love and understand the breed, and you do. I just can not have a poodle in my life, I love them too much, and currently I have Banner, a 5 month old standard from a breeder of hunting poodle, and the apple of my eye, he's such a good puppy, healthy, happy, and so intelligent, raising and training him has been a joy, he's a poodle in all respects. But I'm also a dog lover. I always have an animal shelter dog. Currently that is Eustace, a big, black, scruffy, something. I've had him almost 6 years now and he's very much is my problem child, but I wouldn't trade him for all the gold in the world. And I promised my Mom I would take care of her little dog before she passed August 29th. Because my Mom lived very far from me, her illness happened very fast and with all the covid crap, I never got a chance to actually see her so never got a shred bit of info on the dog. She is some little, yellow, scruffy, mean natured thing I call The Little Dog, that is actually what I put on her name tag, lol. Even so, she has totally bonded with me and me alone and while we still have a lot of work, she really is a nasty little thing, and considering I never intended to have a third dog, I just can't imagine not having her glued to me at all times, lol. You can ask for my input on your current project and if I think I have something that will help, I'm more than happy to give my input. Otherwise, I really do think you have a good understanding of the breed of our hearts.

@@frank5429 A pleasure to meet you Barb! And thank you for your kindness! I do really love reading comments like this from fellow dog lovers who genuinely love the breed. Bless your soul for offering home to rescues. I pray that in the near future I would also be able to do so when I have my own place. As of the moment, I could only offer helping out in the shelters and or offer donations with my situation. I am happy that the videos are able to portray my love for the breed. And thank you for pointing that out! We share the same thoughts on this notion of "experts," how, for one just because you show or breed does not necessarily make one an expert at one thing. Because lately, today, it just seems so easy for people to toss around the word, "expert" and tag themselves as "experts" even when they are just starting out. For the pure bred and well bred, yes! I would love your honest input in this. I know it's a lot of packed info as there is just so much to go about it, like discussing the basic history of breeding and how pure bred dogs came to be - for better comprehension or illustration of the whole picture. I think that's my main goal. I want to show people the bigger picture of the reality and how based on this- it is knowing these info that will be able to help people make better decisions and choices on bringing home and taking care of a pet.

Hi Lustinus! Thank you for watching the video. Wow! Adding to your pack is always an exciting time. Oh gosh, may I ask how you introduced them? Do contact us via IG or FB messenger if you wish regarding this. Thank you for loving my girls ^^

Thanks for visiting!

Hello Amie! Thank you so much for your kind feedback! If you have any suggestions for future videos, we are more than welcoming suggestions from the community!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

LOL! Thanks, it's a ceiling fan that's why hahah!

I was going to say it too hahaha

@@msprecious3498 LOL

I too am a poodle mom :) I had poodles all my life, just adore them ! We bred our girl , she had 4 beautiful litters and we had to keep 2 of course, we actually were going to keep another but thought 4 would be crazy hahah..., we are,down to just 1 now - love of our life! The prices in Ontario are,crazy now ,3,500 unregistered imagine :( 5 for registered and we want 2 ! My hubs said we should breed again buttt a lot of work and we aren’t getting younger ! Your apricot one reminded me of our Clo we had to put down 2 weeks ago. Next ones I want red or light brown :) Enjoyed your vid :) 🐩💝😊

@@msprecious3498 Hi fellow poodle mom! Thank you so much for watching my videos! wow 3,500 for an unregistered pup!!! That's insane! Oh I really wish I could have bred my girls. Bailey was definitely a no go because of her genetics. Summer would have been perfect. We tried for 3 years but I guess it wasn't meant to be. XD But I will definitely get another one in the near future, once I get my own place. Reds are nice! They look like fried chickens and or bears XD Bailey was super cute as a puppy with her deep red color.

Hi there! Thank you so much for dropping by our channel! Happy the video helped!

You are most welcome! Thank you so much for watching the video! Always a pleasure to share what I know. ^^

Thank you for your kindness!

Glad you like them!

@@poodlemom You explain everything with sympathy and kindness

Hi P S Newey! There is nothing wrong with Phantom poodles or any color accepted by the AKC or FCI. One thing to know about Phantoms is that, if they claim to be from "show breeding" lines, this is more than likely a lie because phatoms and parti-colored poodles are not allowed to be showed because the colors are actually considered a "genetic fault." So if they charge you an arm and a leg for the so called "rare" phantom color or parti-colored puppies, that's a lie if you look at it from a reputable breeder and show breeder's perspective. But, allow me to clarify that their color's genetic fault doesn't make them any less of a poodle. :) I'm just sharing what I know so that you are wary of the crazy Greeders. ^^ It's still really up to you to make you own calls. Also, be wary of the so called 'Merle' Poodles, because they are not purebred. To get such markings they are bred with another dog breed. Another thing to note is, the original colors of Poodles are actually just black and white if I am not mistaken. In the past, the other colors like the popular red color was considered a 'puppy milling' color and very unstable genes. But today, as more and more reputable breeders worked on the breed, their genes are much stable now- stable meaning- less health issues because they are finally bred properly. But, it's still good to exercise strong caution when dealing with any breeder from any part of the world. Hope this helps! Best of luck!

You are most welcome! Glad it was helpful! Finding a good breeder is really tough these days as there are so many good marketers out there!

Hello! Thanks for watching our video. I believe it's the height only. But in some kennel clubs, as far as I know, they also consider weight during the competition. :)

You are most welcome. Oh yes... >_< So sad.

Coz at the end of the day REGARDLESS of the size they are all POODLE ☺️

Hello! Thank you for watching the video. With regards to your comment, I'm not sure if you watched the whole video, right after I mentioned the PH following AKC, I did mention that we have started to change affiliation to FCI. Now, don't forget that there are other kennel clubs and not just PCCI hence my generalized points. But thank you for sharing that PCCI now follows the FCI that's good to know. :) May I know your sources though, does this mean you show your dogs?^^ I also agree and am very particular with how the breeders are because sad to say there are rarely any good breeders in the Philippines. Breeders should breed to improve and with this know the breed standard. But breeders here call breeding a hobby and I am not saying all, but many are just in it for the money. :(

Hi Poodle Mom :) to answer your question about "source" Here's the link: www.pcci.org.ph/about-pcci/history/ They are a member of FCI. PCCI is affiliated with FCI.

@@furrociousphilippines6546 thanks! This will benefit many PCCI members. ^^

I just hope that PCCI will INNOVATE especially in addressing FRAUD. There's a new canine registry in the country called ICGD (international canine genetics database) and it's very promising as well.

Glad to hear that! Happy holidays!

Thank you for sharing this! I couldn't agree more! If only people will breed for the right reasons.

We are looking at a miniature poodle. She is 2 months old and weighs 3.2 LBS as of now...would you have any idea how much her final weight will be?

@@ritrit5312 You're looking at likely 13 pounds at full grown. Poodles continue to grow up to 2 years of age with weight maturity around 2 1/2 - 3 years. I have a new toy poodle puppy that is 14 weeks old now and is just at 2 pounds. I am looking that he is likely to end up about 10 pounds. It all has a lot to do with the amount of food and treats as well. Poodles really should only eat twice per day. For toy's, I feed a little less than 1/4 cup twice per day. They also thrive on consistency, so feed at the same time every day. Treats should only be a once in a while thing, not every day. With a miniature, you would feed a little more.

@@ritrit5312 Not sure. But don't worry too much about the weight. The vet will tell you if they weigh ok or not ^^

@@MissouriCrookedBarnHomestead i am looking at a Toy Poodle now but scared of its size…. Can you contact me i would love to ask you some questions.

Thanks for watching! ❤️ Hope it spreads more to help educate. 🫶

Thank you Samantha! I hope you have been well!

Oh no. Which one were you planning to get?

Hello! I only said that because there is no such thing as a tiny toy poodle according to any breed standard. Any toy poodle below a certain height is a toy poodle, period. People who make up such names clearly do not know or understand or maybe are just simply ignoring the truth to get a sale. Now, I think you are overly generalizing my words. I said, it is more often than not the case. But I never said it was impossible to have healthy "tiny" toy poodles so long as you do the proper research about the breeders. :)

@@poodlemom okay thank you so much for the info!

@@lazygun586 my aunt had a teacup poodle she weighed 3 to 4 pounds and was very smart and energetic and in good health for about 15 years which is a long life span for a fog...she had to be put down after developing cancer...not all of them will have issues but I guess some can just like with any dog

@@Sparkle-ey7iw i see :)) thanks

Hi Sarah! As far as I know, your Poodle may still fall under the category of Standards even if he or she exceeds the "limit" dictated by the kennel clubs. This honestly will only matter when it comes to choosing a breeding pup and or for show. If your dog will not fall under the "desired" standard, it just means they are not ideal for show and or breeding. Then again, I could be wrong but as far as I know, and logically this is what it means. I hope this helps! :)

❤️❤️❤️

Hi there! Poodles vary in color, is your pup in a solid color coat or parti-color. Based on your description it can either be an Apricot or maybe a Parti-colored pup meaning you have at least 2 tones of colors.

Yes, regardless of size, they are all angels ^^

There is teacup poodle in this world..but maybe your friend buy the fake one...because teacup poodle size is difficult to find..maybe in my country less than 5 ( I have 1)...there is falsely think about teacup poodle...breeders think that the smallest puppy in the litters and fit in a cup when they are 1 or 2 months is teacup...thats false. You can say that your toy poodle is teacup size when he or she at adult age ( 1 year)..not at 2 or 3 months old. And don't imagine this teacup dog is fit in the little cup when they adult... Adult teacup size as big as 2 months old toy poodle...and not all teacup have healthy problem...they small because their genetics..

Thanks! Happy to welcome a new friend!

Do you have a facebook page?

@@bhembhum4141 Hallo! Yes we do, it's usually projected on screen: The Poodle Mom, we also have a facebook group now ^^

Thank you so much! I really wish people would become a stricter when it comes to breeding pups here much like in Canada.

Hi Laura! It wouldn't hurt to wait from a good breeder. Also! It helps to join facebook groups and ask about the "kennel" or "breeder" if anyone has dealt with them. Social media is amazing in that way ^^

Laura Val, if you are in the United States you can find one. I got my toy poodle from puppyfind. He's the best guy ever. Go to puppyfind toy poodle puppies for sale in Illinois or whatever state your in or near to. I hope this helps you. 🐩

@@leahscott12345 ^^

Hi Tinas! Thanks for watching the video! Like I mentioned, it isn't always the case. And, it's no use worrying about it now. Nurture is just as important as nature(genetics.) Bailey's life can attest to that ^^ Your puppy is lucky to have you. :) Have her regularly checked up. For the girls, we have annual check ups. Good luck!

Hello! It's better to update it for future use ^^

Thank you so much! Not sure if you watched the whole video, but there is no such thing as giant. The sizes are only toy, miniature and standard. :) As for the size, it will not dictate the health of the dog. Just because you get a toy, doesn't mean you'll get a healthier dog than if you had gotten a standard. Also, the size of your pup is really just out of your preference and lifestyle. For me, as of the moment, the perfect size for my life is a toy, hence, I have toy poodles. :) But that doesn't make toys better than the other sizes ^^ They are all equally amazing in their own ways. I hope this helps!

@@poodlemom oh..yeah that's standard not giant...😅....and ..Thanks a lot..for ur reply...bcoz I wanna buy a toy poodle in the future ..😊...I thought that the pet seller may give the poodles drug or any other thing like they gave to the teacup poodle...I'm not sure about that...By the way...nice vid 😊

@@aasthasbrightlife8693 You are most welcome! Thank you so much for watching the video! I hope they help you in your search! ^^

High five! Yes for embark! I also had my girls tested for my sanity!

Hello! Thanks for watching! What does "prabhaaa" mean?

Hello Pomchi! How are you? ^^

Hallo! That's exciting news! I'm not sure what to say but it really depends. I can't offer you an educated recommendation because I haven't seen the pup nor I dunno anything about the breeders and parents.

Hello, they are just called "toys" as far as I know ^^

Hi Katie! This is a really tough question that even I find trouble solving myself. Have you tried searching thru online facebook groups of the dog show people. They can help you get good leads as they will never recommend millers.

Thank you so much for sharing this Jacqueline! I'm sure you have yourself a beautiful pup!

🐩🐩🐩💙💙💙

And How much does 2 of your fur babies weight po?

Hello, size of the Poodle is not based on weight rather it is based on height. Summer is around 3kg and Bailey is a bit on the overweight side, 4kg due to health issues.

Hi Brianna! Sadly, yes. Again, "teacup" is not a registered size of poodles. AKC standards only recognize "TOY, MINIATURE & STANDARD" as I have mentioned, teacups are just small toys. :) I have a video on my red flags when it comes to poodles, it might help you a little. Here's the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UdUl_LUyKb4.html

Hi Debbie! This is a brilliant idea! I will definitely work on this. Thank you so much for the suggestion!

😅😅😅 You are most welcome!

Welcome! Thank you so much for watching the video!

Hi sir! I'm working on this! :) I'm just contemplating whether to do a video or a live instead XD I'll post it either tomorrow or Wednesday :)

@@poodlemom already saw your video maam and shared it on my fb page. Thank you for the content really appreciate it :)

XD I feel like they hate it when I bring out the camera now hahah!! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I'm sure your baby is still watching over you from wherever he or she is now.

Lol! I don't have much experience with them, but I'd be happy to share my experiences with my aunt's dog, Coffee the Yorkie. XD

Hello, I'm afraid there are no such things as "giant" poodles. :) So I cannot help you in that aspect.

Parti colored pups are cute too! ^^

Thanks for the false info and boost in engagement :)

Oh gosh! This is one tough question :(

XD It will vary. But they can range from 1-4kg :)

Do you follow them too? I'm a fan of T and Rosie ^^

Hi Mattia! How's your pup? ^^

@@poodlemom hes doing great

@@poodlemom any advice on dog aggressive and how to get it to stop my mini poodle also chewed through a lupine dog leash with thank god has lifetime replace ment so i was told to use a chain

@@mattiadizard7431 That's awesome!

@@mattiadizard7431 For chewing, it's a phase every puppy will go through. You can discourage chewing on objects by redirecting their attention to toys then rewarding. As for aggression it would depend on the type of aggression your dog will display. I can't give you an educated guess without seeing the problem. But what I can suggest is providing a training structure for your dog. Aggression usually happens when there is no structure in the pack and the dog tends to take the role of the alpha in the pack. You have to become the alpha of the pack and you start that by having structure. ^^ For severe cases, it is best to seek the help of a dog behavior specialist. ^^ Hope this helps.

Hello Nuria! I can understand. It really is VERY DIFFICULT to find an honest breeder. :(

Exactly! ^^

@@poodlemom Just like teacup pigs! Those are a myth!

@@whiski6436 Yes :( the sad realities of things people do to sell... :(

Thank you for your thoughts! While I respect your opinions and thoughts, let me clarify. I’m not trying to argue. When I say there is “NO SUCH SIZE”- is that no governing recognizes this officially. So until then, these pups named as “teacup” are still toys under any club standards as of the moment. ☺️

@@poodlemom yes...officially there is no teacup breed...only 3 ( toy mini standard). I just share my experience of having teacup poodle. So the people know exactly how big is the real teacup poodle and i want to say that not every teacup size must have healthy problem. The teacup that have healthy problem maybe the teacup who get misstreatment when they still puppy...

@@yuliantihartanto3378 :) thank you.

It would be difficult to provide an "expert" opinion because how would you even define an expert in this. What set of standards would one follow and would be biased towards? :) Hence, my choice of just sharing my SELFISH opinions.

@@poodlemom hence better to mark such disclaimer all throughout the video that you are not an expert and merely saying your own personal views. Branding breeders who choose to breed small size as MORE OFTEN THAN NOT (OR USUALLY) BREEDING UNETHICALLY surely has no basis.

@@classyclaws9833 I'm pretty sure I placed disclaimers. And I have no intension to argue about it. If you have better ideas. Feel free to post your own thoughts on your own channels as well ^^
