The weight chart is wrong. A toy poodle should weigh 4-6 lb for example. Please check with kennel associations.

For example:

Weight Range Changes[edit]

Hello. I am going to change the weight ranges for the toy, mini and medium sizes since they are implausible. Based on AKC standards and other sources.

Toy: 2-3 kg (4-6 lb) , Miniature: 4.5-7 kg (10-15 lb) , Medium: 9-13 kg (20-30 lb) , Standard: 18-32 kg (40-70 lb)

Codwiki (talk) 12:39, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

While those weights are what is listed on the AKC web site, they are also not realistic. For example, most AKC Miniature Poodles are between 13" and 15" at the withers. All of my 15 inch male show dogs have been 17 pounds off season and around 24 pounds during hunting season. HuntingPudel (talk) 01:47, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Made a change request to align the weights in the last paragraph under Description::Appearance with the new ones you added in the infobox. 220.255.226.236 (talk) 16:10, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Caniche meaning[edit]

According to wiktionary Caniche is likely from Latin canis or canicula. There's no mention of duck in the name. Drake in French is malard and Duck (female) is cane.

I couldn't find any references in French to duck dog either. I propose that this translation/etymology be removed for lack of verification. 222.155.7.217 (talk) 00:09, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weight of different poodle sizes in last paragraph under Description::Apperance do no align with those stated in the infobox. Change them to align with those in the infobox. 220.255.226.236 (talk) 16:07, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He's mentioning how the weight values in the infobox aren't the same as the text. I can change the infobox to align with the text but I believe the values in the article are incorrect. toy Poodles encapsulate the smallest size and I've certainly seen some that go below 1 st.
