About the Club

We are dedicated to promoting in every way the Miniature Poodle  in the UK by helping breeders, exhibitors and enthusiasts to work together for the betterment  of  the Breed with regards to it’s health, public perception and welfare.

As a Club we are geared largely to the showing exhibitor and breeder but are pleased to welcome anyone who loves the breed  to our shows, especially our Open Show which is held on the first Sunday in August every year at Baginton Village Hall, near Coventry.  Here we hold our annual Rescue Re-Union when we meet up with many of the dogs and owners which the Club’s Rescue Scheme has brought together since it’s inception in 2000.

We actively promote the use of DNA testing for prcd PRA which is the major inherited health risk currently known in our breed and are pleased to report that as each year passes more and more breeders are having their stock tested in this way so that we can move towards eradicating the problem in the future.

Details of this testing can be found on www.optigen.com and we strongly advise all buyers to ask to see evidence of this testing of parents before purchasing puppies.

Fifteen other Poodle Clubs are available geographically covering all three sizes of the Poodle but we remain the ONLY club solely for the Miniature Poodle - refer to www.poodlecouncil.co.uk for more information on what Clubs may be local to you.

About the Breed

Miniature Poodles will be anything you want them to be -  the media perception of the breed is very misleading and not at all helpful.  They are supremely intelligent, they love to play the clown yes, but they are nobody's fool.

They will happily walk miles up and down dale with you or snuggle up on the sofa when it’s raining and cold outside.  Only if you are determined make them into a spoilt, overweight and pretentious   lap dog will they ever become one!  

They do not require a lot of exercise daily, but hugely enjoy getting out and about with their owners and having fun and adventures whenever possible.  If you are not in a position to offer your Miniature Poodle much freedom he will make his own fun, running around the garden madly or even doing a few circuits of the lounge (including sofas and chairs) to let off steam when necessary.

If you want a quiet and uneventful life, think of another breed.  Poodles want to ‘LIVE’ life with you . . . . and never forget they  need grooming regularly.  It’s a commitment - but well worth it!

RESCUE & RE-HOMING Scheme

Co-Ordinator Mrs. B. Dowle

Tel: 01933 358959

This is a non profit making scheme to assist Miniature Poodles in need of Rescue or re-homing.   

With ever increasing fuel and veterinary costs we are always grateful  of any help which can be offered, both in the practical sense (assisting with vetting prospective new owners, kenneling and transport) or raising money.

Offers of suitable new homes always required, we have a particular need for homes for older dogs over 7 years of age who still have many years of love to give. 

If you can help in any way please contact Beth Dowle at the number above.

The Club does NOT support the inter breeding of Poodles with other breeds nor the breeding   of Parti-Colour Poodles for exhibition. Please do not embarrass us by asking for advice on these matters,.

Members are reminded to inform the Secretary when they have puppies available.

USA company which offers DNA testing for prcd PRA in Toy and Miniature Poodles.

All details of how to undertake the test are included on this site.  If you have any queries please contact Council PRA representative Mrs. N. Catterall by email :novadene@blueyonder.co.uk who will be able to advise.

Our governing body  will be able to assist you with any registration or show queries. 

Some guidelines from the Miniature Poodle Club:

A ‘Pedigree’ does not ensure ‘Registration’. Registration is a requirement for firstly exhibiting a dog in the show ring and secondly for breeding on from it.  Registration documents from the Kennel Club do serve a very useful purpose in confirming the dates and results of PRA tests of the sire and dam of any puppy, but it should be noted that BVA/KC tests must be carried out annually and even then cannot be given too much significance if the sire/dam are under 5 years of age (this is because PRA is often not clinically visible until this age).  The Optigen DNA tests are  much more definitive and therefore a much better option.
