Types Of Poodles

Standard, Miniature, and Toy Poodle

3 Types of poodles are all that the American Kennel Club acknowledges.  There is only one breed of poodle, but three different sizes specified, standard, miniature, and toy poodle.

Any other variation of poodles is either not acknowledge by the AKC or is a crossbreed.

Standard Poodles

These types of poodles must stand over 15 inches tall at the shoulder

Miniature poodles

These types of poodles must stand over 10 inches tall at the shoulder, but less than 15 inches.

Miniature Poodles

These types of poodles must not stand over 10 inches tall at the shoulder.

Standard Royal, Teacup, and Tiny Teacup Poodles

There are terms made up by breeders for marketing purposes only and are not new types of poodles.

Poodle Crossbreeds

There are a few poodle crossbreeds out there, but realize these are not new breeds, merely crossbreeds, and calling them hybrids is not correct.  A hybrid is a mating between two different species.

Some poodle crossbreeds are Cockapoos, Spoodles, Goldendoodle, and Labradoodle.

So in summary when researching types of poodles, realize there are only really three.
