Compared to poodles, people are probably more familiar with Teddy dogs. Even if they have never raised one, they have heard the term Teddy dog, and many say they cannot distinguish Teddy from poodles at all. So, are Teddy and poodles the same? Actually, poodle is a general term for a breed, while Teddy is a nickname given after grooming a poodle. In fact, there is no essential difference between the two.

The so-called Teddy is because after grooming, poodles look very similar to toy teddy bears, so many people call this type of poodle "Teddy." However, strictly speaking, only brown poodles after grooming can be called Teddy, because the similarity between the two is very high.

Therefore, Teddy is just a nickname, not a breed, so don’t get confused. Poodles generally have three sizes, the most common being the small one. Basically, small poodles after grooming look very similar to Teddy bears. As for coat color, brown is the closest, so small poodles are the most popular, followed by giant poodles.

It’s not that giant poodles are not good; it’s just that their size is really too big. Most families basically do not have the conditions to keep them, so their raising rate is relatively low, but they do attract a lot of attention when taken out. It can be said that adult giant poodles stand as tall as an adult person, so their size is quite impressive.

It can be said that anyone who raises poodles cannot help but take them for grooming secretly. At some international dog grooming competitions, poodles appear most frequently. Because their fur has natural curls and is relatively coarse in texture, they are very suitable for various styles, so the appearance of poodles we see is often different.

Are Teddy and poodles the same? In fact, overall, there is no difference between the two. Teddy is just a type of poodle, but not all poodles can be called Teddy. Only poodles with color and appearance close to Teddy can be called that. So if you want to buy a Teddy dog, just choose a brown small poodle to raise and take it to grooming regularly.
