Moyen Poodles
What is a Moyen?
​Moyen means medium. The Moyen Poodle is the 4th size of the Poodle breed and is not as small as the Miniature Poodle, and is not as tall as the Standard Poodle.
The American Kennel Club (AKC) and the Kennel Club UK don’t recognize the Moyen as a distinct size; but the International Poodle Standard (FCI) recognize a size in between the Miniature and the Standard poodle. That’s the Moyen poodle.

Moyen Poodle vs Standard Poodle
There is a huge gap between the Miniature and Standard Poodle when it comes to sizes. And the Moyen Poodle fills in that gap.
If you put a Moyen and a Standard Poodle next to each other, the only main difference you’ll find is their size.
Moyen Poodle Training
Poodles are easy to train due to their high intelligence.
When training your Moyen Poodle, stay away from harsh methods that use prong collars, choke chains, and the use of force. This will only traumatize your furry friend and will destroy the relationship you’ve worked so hard to build.
Size
Standard poodles are generally 25-30 inches tall. The Moyen, however, grows up to be about 15-20 inches at the shoulder.
Moyen Poodle Appearance
Basically, the only difference between the Moyen and the Miniature and Standard Poodle is their size, which makes them look similar in appearance.
The Moyen Poodle usually has its skin pigmented with the same color as its coat.
It has a distinguished, rectilinear head in proportion to the body and may have a corded or curly hair coat, the curly being a harsh natural texture.
