What are the Characteristics of the mini toy poodle?
“Mini toy” and “teacup” are informal terms, not additional size varieties recognised by the FCI. The Toy variety measures over 24 cm and up to 28 cm at the withers, with a tolerance of −1 cm at the lower limit. A height below 23 cm is a disqualifying fault under the FCI Standard No. 172. The variety is determined by adult height at the withers, not by weight. See our Poodle size guide.
