In Europe, they classify Moyen (which means 'Medium' in French) or Klein (which means 'Medium' in German) as poodles that are 13.75" to 19" tall and then anything taller than that is classified as a Standard. In Europe, any poodle over 24" cannot be shown in FCI.. Standard Poodles are any poodle over 15" tall according to the Poodle Club of America but many Standard Poodles average about 21" to 25" tall.
A Small Standard or Moyen or Klein poodle in the U.S. is usually considered 15" to 20" tall. They are becoming popular for people that'd like the calmer Standard Poodle but in a smaller package. People that live in a smaller home, condo or apartment find it easier to have a Moyen Klein poodle than a large 25" or greater tall Standard Poodle that seems like a small pony to some! The Moyen Klein Small Standard Poodles fit perfectly with their smart, affectionate, loveable ways but they eat less, easier to bathe and groom, and fit in a smaller area or crate. The other difference with this smaller size of Standard Poodle, is that as long as they don't get overweight, they don't tend to have the same issues with hip dysplasia that larger dogs do. Also, smaller dogs tend to live longer than really large dogs.
