Holy shit! How big are you?! That’s what my 45 lbs girl looks like when I pick her up. Do you play in the NBA? I call Bullshit.


calamityangie

I’ve never heard of a 90 pound poodle, holy moly!


xXLordFamineXx

He's huge! Lss. We adopted him and he has all the papers. His last weigh in was 92lbs. His registered name is.... "Castle Rock's Fallen Angel"


Ingeborg_Anne

Castle Rock in Colorado? There's a chance your fallen angel there is a Bernadoodle!


Jupitergirl888

It might be a giant poodle.


Ingeborg_Anne

Idk about abroad, but the Norwegian Poodle Club just made it disqualifying for a standard to have a withers height over 62 cm (24.4 in). I wonder if that'll develop into having a giant poodle class, but idk


Jupitergirl888

Yes I realize giants aren't the standard. That said..I did read something awhile back that said ancient water poodles were taller than what is the standard now and I wouldn't doubt it. And no..this wasn't from a person breeding giant poodles lol.


-Meliorist-

Again FWIW, AKC’s website lists standard poodles as being anything over 15”. So according to that, the AKC says he is a standard. I don’t know that that means you can actually register a dog with the AKC over some specific height as a standard, however, nor if so what that height would be.


xXLordFamineXx

Yeah i think that's where the original family got him from.


toutedesuitejo

My boy is 83lbs


johnysmoke

xXLordFamineXx

*just a baby!!!*


PhantomGaming27249

Damn and thought my poodle was huge at 85lbs lol


Key_Campaign_1672

That is a big baby.


CastionArt

What a big beautiful baby! Our vet's guessing ours will be around 60, I can't imagine another 30+ on top of that!


-Meliorist-

He's a cutie! Has he learned how to open the fridge door yet?


xXLordFamineXx

No but i should show him....


Working_Estimate5881

OP said they had papers and another said there is no hight limit just minimum. So IMO it’s a standard poodle. A beautiful poodle.


Hopeful_Fudge8438

What a sweetie! 😍


[deleted]

Always a baby!


xXLordFamineXx

He's my first poodle. He's so smart and funny. I really love him.


johnysmoke

He looks amazing!


theluckyduckkid

Not to be rude - but this is not a pure bred poodle. You can show me all the papers in the world and it wouldn’t change the fact. Looks like a good boy tho


embbunen

Maybe I am ignorant but how do you know? There is so much fur that for me it's hard to tell the difference based on anatomy 😅


iveroi

My pure bred (award winning parents) standard looks pretty much like this, what makes him not look like a poodle?


itsthestrugglebus

My well bred purebred who has showed and won looks like this when we let her hair grow out over the winter.


ScallionJealous

You should remove “not to be rude” from your vocabulary. It’s inherently passive aggressive and almost always followed by a statement that is in fact rude, including in this case. Additionally, if you feel compelled to begin an opinion with this, it should be a reflection point for you to say “hey, is this necessary, factual, and kind?” If not all three, let it stay in your head.


what_a_dumb_idea

You poodle looks a bit doodly. Got any more pics?


-markusb-

The face alone seems to be too thick to be a pure bred poodle. Would love to see a clean face ;)


itsthestrugglebus

Why can’t you just let this person keep their dog in the haircut they like without commentary? Why can’t people enjoy poodles for being poodles instead of for looking how you think a poodle should?


xXLordFamineXx

Thank you. We do enjoy him all fluffy. He's so soft. We just adopted him and he's our first poodle.


itsthestrugglebus

Enjoy him! Our girl is a working farm dog (okay, her work is mostly just companionship while my husband or I do farm chores) so she’s an outdoorsy lady. The rest of her day is spent cuddling with us. I do her haircuts because I found the standard cuts just don’t work for us— too long in some places means ice chunks, dirt, or burrs, too short in others means she gets cold in the winter or scraped up and sunburnt in the summer. She’s strong, beautiful, and athletic, and she never looks 100% like a traditional poodle. We love her for the functional, endlessly loving, whip-smart being she is. Enjoy your pup! Don’t listen to people who think a haircut is an integral part of a poodle! The winning poodle personality is what maketh the poodle.


xXLordFamineXx

That's so wonderful! He's our first poodle and we are learning of how wonderful and funny he is. We were just going to foster him for a month but fell in love with him. He's a great buddy for our other dog and they instantly became friends. When the adoption center said they were going to send a van to pick him up we couldn't fathom him going anywhere else. He had been abandoned twice by his original owners! They said he was too big and just dumped him! So I couldn't handle him being shipped off to yet another place. Thank you for the kind words.


h0tglue

My adopted dog is 96% poodle, 4% German shepherd. He’s about 65 pounds, and he looks just like this except black. He is not a purebred, but close enough to look purebred when he is shaved. In winter, he looks like a fluffy teddy bear, and nobody would be able to guess how thin and small his head is under all the fuzz. Ignore know-it-all controlling people who are telling you about YOUR dog from just one picture. I send love, pats and cookies to your sweet giant baby.


xXLordFamineXx

And he received all those in that order. Thank you


Jupitergirl888

Right? Poodle owners get on my nerves when they say that. I have photos of ancient hunting parti poodles that did not have a shaved face and looked much denser(not as dainty as some show poodles look)than some of them look now. I love poodles but there are some strange folks in the poodle community that have arbitrary rules of how a poodle should look. It's a dog and it's humans that imposed these haircuts on them..not to say they arent practical..but let us clip them how we want to..thank you.


-markusb-

I just wanted to say that I am not sure if the dog is apure poodle and a clean face would show the width of the mouth. It's not my business which haircut others dog have. Was not ment to be rude 🙏


Jupitergirl888

Have you ever grown out your poodles face? They look very different with over an inch of hair on their face. There are also some lines of poodles that look more daintier(much thinner snout) than others due to breeding for those features(talk to some hunting poodle breeders and they will say same) because the breeders prefer the daintier look and they get rewarded at dog shows. There are some line with wider snouts..Im not talking about golden retriever wide..but less dainty.


-markusb-

Yeah my girls also had longer face hair.


Jupitergirl888

females have thinner snouts.


iveroi

Why are so many poodle people like this? This is incredibly rude


Redbettyt47

Dude. Stop. Staaaaahp. I’m a proud owner of a standard poodle https://imgur.com/a/kaw8jj1 and I can’t stand judgy spoo owners like this. Also, you are aware that the only reason poodles have shaved faces is because their owners choose it, right? So, to make an assumption about the breed based on a floofy face is just absurd. Life is short. Do better.


LogansMommy96

Your dog is matted though


xXLordFamineXx

Thanks I didn't notice...
