Teacup Poodle vs Toy Poodle

[GermanShepherds]

I thought they were the same thing. I knew there was a small poodle and then those standard big ones. I didnt know they came in 3 sizes, how come? Does anyone own a Teacup and Toy? Any pictures to defrientiate between the two, Thanks-

I own both. There is no real thing as a teacup. There are just tiny toys. Probably the runts. I have one 5 pounder that would be called a Teacup. My next sized one is 13 pounds and would be considered a large toy or a small miniature.

Wow that is tiny, 5 lbs.
So Speaking AKC terms, theres only a: (yes lots of questions )

1. Toy and Standard ?
2. or Miniature and Standard ?
3. or Toy, Miniature and Standard ?

Have you ever owned a Standard? They seem to excell in the showring, pretty dogs.

I understand the difference, for any breed having a teacup to tiny is much smaller, rights?

Then miniture and Standard the biggest of all.

Teacups are cute little dudes, even the tiny ones.

I am afraid I would step on one after having large dogs so long. lol.
Good bed partners than mine taking the entire bed

I stand corrected in reading Debbie's post no such thing as a teacup. Ok, then just tiny ones. Oh well cute little dudes anyway we want to name them. I hate to hear the word Runt. I think some pups just get set back in the weaning process and fall behind only to catch up later if taken good care of. Am I correct? It is with mine that way, some end up so huge when neutered or stayed and grow and grow.
