There are many features that can\nhelp you determine a dogs\u2019 breed, including noses. And just like\nhumans, no two dogs\u2019 noses are exactly alike, including poodles. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do all poodles have long noses? <strong>Not\nall poodles have long noses. While a purebred, standard poodle has a\nlonger snout, other types of poodles have round noses. The shape of a\npoodle nose depends on how purebred the poodle is, and whether or not\nthe dog has any DNA outside of the poodle breed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many factors that determine the size, shape, and even color, of a poodles\u2019 nose. The poodle breed has a couple of shapes in the nose appearance, as well as many reasons for the variances. Keep reading to learn more about the differences in poodles\u2019 noses, as well as what exactly that means for the dogs themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Check out the comprehensive guide I wrote <a href=\"https:\/\/poodlereport.com\/how-to-tell-if-your-poodle-is-purebred-a-complete-guide\/\">here<\/a> if you would like to learn more about other purebred poodle characteristics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"poodle-nose-standards\">Poodle Nose Standards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Long noses on poodles are the most\ncommon type of snout. A purebred poodle will have a nose that is long\nand pointed, according to the American Kennel Club breed standards\nfor poodles. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few other important physical\ncharacteristics you will find in a purebred, standard poodle,\naccording to the AKC\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Dark, oval-shaped eyes\n\t<\/li><li>Alert expression\n\t<\/li><li>Ears close to the head with a\n\tminimal fringe\n\t<\/li><li>Rounded skull \n\t\n\t<\/li><li>Chiseling under the eyes, around\n\tthe muzzle\n\t<\/li><li>Well defined chin\n\t<\/li><li>White teeth with a scissors bite\n\t<\/li><li>The neck is proportionate to the\n\tbody\n\t<\/li><li>Deep chest \n\t\n\t<\/li><li>Strong, smooth legs\n\t<\/li><li>Clean, well-groomed fur \n\t\n<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"two-types-of-poodle-noses\">Two Types of Poodle Noses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When someone says \u201cpoodle\u201d, your brain most likely brings up an image of an extra curly, slightly frizzy, dainty dog with dyed hair. This poodle has large, fluffy ears and may even be wearing bows. Traditionally, poodles have a longer nose.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But with the rise in popularity of\nsmall dogs, it\u2019s not uncommon to see smaller poodles with the\n\u201cteddy bear\u201d style of head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"long-pointed-snouts\">Long, Pointed Snouts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/poodlereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Canva-White-Standard-Poodle-Outside-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/poodlereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Canva-White-Standard-Poodle-Outside-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/poodlereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Canva-White-Standard-Poodle-Outside-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/poodlereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Canva-White-Standard-Poodle-Outside.jpg 693w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Poodles have been around for much of\nhistory, with the first images of these dogs dating back to the 15th\nand 16th centuries. During that time, they were once bred to be\nhunting dogs. <strong>Their long noses helped heighten their sniffing\nsense, making them a favorite of hunters for many year<\/strong>s. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, as poodle owners quickly\nlearned how eager to please these pups can be, they eventually\nevolved into family dogs. Poodles\u2019 long noses were seen in many\nroyal family portraits, making this breed a favorite amongst\nwealthier people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"teddy-bear-noses\">\u201cTeddy Bear\u201d Noses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/poodlereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Canva-brown-toy-poodle-1024x729.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/poodlereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Canva-brown-toy-poodle-1024x729.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/poodlereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Canva-brown-toy-poodle-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/poodlereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Canva-brown-toy-poodle-768x547.jpg 768w, https:\/\/poodlereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Canva-brown-toy-poodle.jpg 924w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>These noses are common amongst the\ndesigner style poodles. Toy and miniature have been around for\nequally as long as standard poodles, as they\u2019re just a size variant\nof the breed. <strong>It\u2019s common now for the toy and miniature versions\nto have the furry little face of a teddy bear.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the past couple of decades,\nthere\u2019s been a growing demand for smaller, designer dogs. Dog\nbreeders sought to create a dog with the poodles\u2019 popularity, with\nthe forever young look of a teddy bear face, essentially \u201cdesigning\u201d\na dog. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dog owners wanting a rounder, puppy\nface might choose a poodle with this type of nose. However, because\nthese noses aren\u2019t natural of purebred poodles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"health-issues-in-short-nosed-poodles\">Health Issues in Short Nosed Poodles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Poodles bodies are naturally built to\nwork with the long noses that they had originally, before any\ncrossbreeding.  But once other dogs were bred with poodles, health\nconcerns began to arise. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One factor is the popularity of breeding poodles as designer dogs. Poodles are mixed with other dogs to achieve the ideal face and body. <strong>The demand for such designer dogs has led to a giant increase in overbreeding. In some cases, even inbreeding of poodles.  <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another cause is that dogs with shorter\nnoses are often more susceptible to breathing troubles, because of\ntheir nose and windpipe shapes. Breeding smaller poodles to have\nthese teddy bear faces introduced the health concerns that are common\nof those dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here are some other health issues in crossbred poodles:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"osteochondrodysplasic-dwarfism\"><strong>Osteochondrodysplasic (Dwarfism)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although this disorder is not caused by the fact that miniature poodles have shorter noses, breeding to achieve the shorter nose can cause this. Dwarfism in poodles is a genetic mutation that causes stunted growth and abnormal movement. Some puppies with dwarfism are unable to live due to the severity of the symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Symptoms can include a large head,\nunderbite with a shorter jaw, abnormal bones, shorter bones,\nabnormally large joints, and front legs that are bowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tracheal-collapse\"><strong>Tracheal Collapse<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When a dog\u2019s windpipe begins to close\nin, it can cause a tracheal collapse. The tracheal rings within the\nwindpipe can collapse, restricting the airflow. This is most common\nfor smaller dogs, but especially smaller dogs with shorter noses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Symptoms of this can come in the form\nof a cough that sounds like honking, unwillingness to exercise, and\nheavy breathing. Tracheal collapse can be brought on when a dog is\noverexcited, eating, drinking, smoke, dust, unhealthy weight, and\neven extreme heat or humidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"epilepsy\"><strong>Epilepsy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Poodles with epilepsy will experience\nseizures. These can come in the form of smaller seizures with facial\ntwitching, or major seizures with full-body spasms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, it\u2019s hard to diagnose\nepilepsy in dogs until they\u2019ve shown the biggest symptom, which of\ncourse is having a seizure. But, once the condition is diagnosed,\npoodles can take medication to control the disorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"hip-dysplasia\"><strong>Hip Dysplasia<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This condition is common amongst larger\ndogs, but because poodles are so commonly bred, this has become an\nissue for toy and miniature poodles. Hip dysplasia in these smaller\ndogs is due mostly to genetics, as a result of over breeding and\ninbreeding. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nutritional deficiencies are another\ncause of hip dysplasia, along with a lack of exercise. Because\npoodles are often bred in poor conditions, these conditions are\ngrowing to be more common amongst the smaller varieties. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With hip dysplasia, the hip socket\ndoesn\u2019t develop properly, causing the ball and socket joints to not\nfit together as they should. This is painful for the dog, as the\njoint rubs together instead of performing smoothly. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are ways to treat hip\ndysplasia. Weight loss and physical therapy are among the most common\ntreatments. Veterinarians will also prescribe anti-inflammatory\nmedications for dogs with this condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-tell-if-your-poodle-puppy-will-have-a-long-or-short-nose\">How to Tell if Your Poodle Puppy Will Have a Long or Short Nose<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/poodlereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Canva-Miniature-Poodle-Puppy-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/poodlereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Canva-Miniature-Poodle-Puppy-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/poodlereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Canva-Miniature-Poodle-Puppy-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/poodlereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Canva-Miniature-Poodle-Puppy-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/poodlereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Canva-Miniature-Poodle-Puppy.jpg 924w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like humans, a good indicator of\nfacial features can be what the parents look like. If your puppy has\na purebred mother and father poodle with traditional long noses, then\nmost likely, your puppy will too. It\u2019s really hard to know what\nkind of noses are in your puppies\u2019 family, although some breeders\nare able to provide certification of purebred doggie DNA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, if your puppy is a crossbreed of a poodle and another dog, it may have a nose that\u2019s typical of the other breed. Which, in some cases, is what people prefer. Hence, the popularity of the teddy bear poodle.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s a list of other dogs that are commonly bred with poodles:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Cocker Spaniel\n\t<\/li><li>Maltese\n\t<\/li><li>Labrador\n\t<\/li><li>Golden Retriever\n\t<\/li><li>Schnauzer \n\t\n\t<\/li><li>Pekingese\n\t<\/li><li>Yorkshire Terrier\n\t<\/li><li>Pomeranian\n\t<\/li><li>Shih Tzu\n\t<\/li><li>Chihuahua\n\t<\/li><li>Bichon Frise\n<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If your puppy has a mother or father dog that\u2019s one of these breeds, you can look at their nose to see how it may differ from a poodle\u2019s long nose. But, just like human babies, puppy noses can change as they grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"must-have-products-for-poodles-and-doodles\">Must Have Products For Poodles And Doodles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for reading this article.
