How to identify the breed of Teddy
Teddy dogs (the toy type of poodle) are deeply loved for their cute appearance and intelligent personality. However, there are many types of "Teddy" on the market, and how to identify their breeds has become a question for many pet lovers. This article will conduct a structured analysis from dimensions such as body shape, coat color, and pedigree to help you quickly identify the differences in Teddy breeds.
1. Core classification of Teddy breeds
Teddy is essentially the name of the poodle’s grooming style. The Federation of Cyninology International (FCI) only recognizes the body type classification of poodles, but in China it is often subdivided into the following types based on body shape and pedigree:
| Variety type | Shoulder height range | weight range | Feature description |
|---|---|---|---|
| standard poodle | 38cm or more | 20-32kg | Original working dog breed with slender limbs |
| mini teddy | 28-38cm | 7-10kg | Mainstream household pets, well proportioned |
| toy teddy | 24-28cm | 3-6kg | The most common “Teddy” body shape in China |
| teacup teddy | ≤20cm | ≤3kg | Not internationally certified, prone to health problems |
2. Identification through appearance characteristics
1.head features: Purebred VIPs have almond-shaped eyes, and the ears are flush with the eyes; cross breeds often have round eyes and high-set ears.
2.hair texture: High-quality Teddy's hair is highly curly and dense to the touch; mixed-breed dog's hair may be straight and hard or sparse.
| hair type | Curl | common colors | genetic stability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purebred VIP hair | tight spiral roll | red/brown/black/white | The color of offspring is stable |
| mixed race hair | wavy or straight hair | Gray/Champagne/Design | Higher probability of fading |
3. Pedigree Certificates and Market Chaos
1.Certificate verification: Regular kennels should provide CKU/FCI pedigree certificates, and the three-generation pedigree can be checked through the official website of the chip number.
2.Common methods of counterfeiting:
4. Suggestions on purchasing
1. Give priority to mini/toy teddy dogs of moderate size to avoid the health risks of teacup dogs.
2. Observe the parent dogs: It is required to observe the breeding dogs on the spot and avoid "photo kennels".
3. Test basic health: Canine distemper/parvovirus test needs to be completed before purchase.
Through the above structured comparison, I believe you have mastered the key points of identifying Teddy breeds. Remember that a real poodle, regardless of size, should comply with the core characteristics of "square proportions and elegant posture" in the FCI standard. Do not simply pursue "small size" or "rare color" while ignoring the health of the dog.
