Miniature Poodle

The pricing of any dog, purebred or not is going to depend on several variables. These include but are not limited to where the breeder lives, where you live, the pedigree of the dog, if the dog is registered or register-able, the saturation of the market in that area, and the popularity of the breed. It is almost impossible to give you a solid number since if the dog is not registered, there is no way to guarantee that the dog is purebred. This gives away the ability to look at higher pricing. In the end, no dog that is unregistered, purebred or not should cost more than a purebred dog of the same breed from the same area. If purebred Miniature Poodle puppies are averaging $2000.00 in your area, then for an unregistered possible purebred puppy the price should be half that. It costs more for a breeder to raise quality puppies, including registering, paying for health checks, and raising quality puppies in a good environment. Ask questions of your breeder, go and physically see where the puppies were raised and if there are red flags, walk away. There will always be more puppies of what you are specifically looking for to look at.

Dogs are not measured in length very often, it will be difficult to find an average. Dogs are measured in height from paw to shoulder. The Miniature Poodle stands no taller than 11 - 15 inches at the shoulder and ranges between 15 - 17 lbs.

The definition of a Service Dog is a dog whom is trained to do at minimum one service that the person is not able to do on their own. For anxiety and depression, the normal services that dog are trained to do are but not limited to DPT (Deep Pressure Therapy), physically jumping up on to alert their owner of an anxiety attack, physically pushing their owner into a less crowded area / leading their owner physically to a corner or other designated area for the owner to settle and work through the anxiety. Most dogs that are trained for this are a medium size or larger, as DPT is a form of the dog lying atop of the owner (normally across the legs / lower body) and having the owner do breathing exercises while focusing on the pressure of the dogs physical body against their own. This is the same as a weighted blanket or other weighted therapies done with anxiety attacks or anxiety issues. I would not suggest this breed as their size makes it harder for them to do DPT, as well as to alert and be able to physically move their owner if needed. Although every person is different and the Miniature Poodle is going to be trained to help someone specially for them and it works, then that is fine. I would suggest looking at the larger version of the Poodle, such as the Moyen Poodle (medium sized poodle) or the Standard Poodle.

The Poodle breed of any size, standard, moyen, miniature and toy are all considered hypoallergenic. People with allergies to dogs tend to do well with this breed as they have a limited amount of dander that gets exposed to the air and also don't have a protein in their saliva that most people are allergic too. Please take precautions and contact a breeder to set up a meet and greet before purchasing a puppy. This way you can be 100% sure you do not have an allergic reaction to the pup or adult dog.

There are four different standards for Poodles; the Toy, the Miniature, the Moyen and the Standard. For the Miniature, the Poodle should stand between 11 - 15 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh in between 14 - 17 lbs. Obviously the Toy Poodle will be smaller than the Miniature; while the Moyen and the Standard Poodle will be larger than the Miniature.
