| The
Toy Poodle is an elegant, lively, small dog with
a profuse, but well-groomed and clipped curly coat.
The ears are long, flat and wide, laying close
to the head. The head is long with dark, almond-shaped
eyes that have an alert expression. The teeth should
have a scissors bite. A good Poodle has a square
silhouette, with approximately the same overall
length as the height at the withers. The feet are
small, oval and webbed, with arched toes. Dewclaws
generally are removed. The tail is docked to produce
a balanced dog. The coat may be groomed into three
basic styles: the "pet clip" (or puppy
clip), with relatively short hair all over the
body, the "English saddle" clip, and
the "Continental" clip with the rear
half of the body shaved, bracelets left around
the ankles, and pom-poms left on the tails and
hips. All solid colors are permissible. The Poodle
has a delightful springy gait. |
