Is your dog big/small for the breed?

AW! Snowy your so cute! I would have to say pretty small.

Bella was the second smallest in her litter. Standard poodles can be anything over 15" at the shoulder and she is about 21." My previous standard (RB) was sired by a standard who was 27" at the shoulder.

Ripley is considered a mini because he is over 10" at the shoulder but I would call him either a small mini or a very large toy. My previous mini weighed about 18 lbs. and Ripley is only 14 although has a nice little body.
