We, the undersigned,agree with the standard set by the Poodle Club of America for the Breed and want it to remain as it stands. The Standard Poodle is over 15 inches at the highest point of the shoulders. Any Poodle which is 15 inches or less in height shall be disqualified from competition as a Standard Poodle. The Miniature Poodle is 15 inches or under at the highest point of the shoulders, with a minimum height in excess of 10 inches. Any Poodle which is over 15 inches or is 10 inches or less at the highest point of the shoulders shall be disqualified from competition as a Miniature Poodle. The Toy Poodle is 10 inches or under at the highest point of the shoulders. Any Poodle which is more than 10 inches at the highest point of the shoulders shall be disqualified from competition as a Toy Poodle. As long as the Toy Poodle is definitely a Toy Poodle, and the Miniature Poodle a Miniature Poodle, both in balance and proportion for the Variety, diminutiveness shall be the deciding factor when all other points are equal.

Stick to the original definitions. Proportions matter more than anything.

PLEASE leave the breed standard alone. Its worked for years and keeps things clear for breeders and judges.

Totally agree. A toy is a toy and a standard is a standard. Rules are rules.

Keep the standard exactly how it is. We have enough confusion as it is in the show ring.
