Best Answer

The most notable difference between toy and miniature poodles is their size. There are three separate registered types of poodles recognized by kennel clubs: standard, miniature and toy. Toy poodles are the smallest of the poodles, and Miniature is one size up.

Additionally, most poodle breeders break the "toy" category into three separate subcategories: teacup, tiny-toy and toy. Although these categories aren't kennel-club recognized, breeders use them to differentiate between the size of their dogs. Although the specific numbers vary from breeder to breeder, this is a good rule for adult dogs:

Standard: 18 + lbs.

Miniature: 12 - 18 lbs.

Toy: 6 - 12 lbs., shorter than 10 inches

Tiny Toy: 4 - 6 lbs.

Teacup: <4 lbs.
