Pounds. The dark band is where most Poodle Greyhound Mix dogs end up; the light band is the full range between the smallest and largest parent.

Height runs 22–27 inches at the shoulder, against 18–24 in for the Standard Poodle and 27–30 in for the Greyhound.

Size figures assume a Standard Poodle parent, the size closest to the Greyhound. A different poodle size moves the whole range.

Coat, energy and training

Shedding

Low

Poodle has a low-shedding coat, so some puppies shed little. It is not guaranteed: coat type varies even within one litter, and no dog is truly hypoallergenic.

Energy

High

Plan on long daily walks plus real exercise, such as running, fetch or a sport. A yard alone will not tire this dog out.

Trainability

Low to very high

The Poodle rates very high and the Greyhound low; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming

Very low to very high

Brush a couple of times a week.

Temperament

The Poodle is usually described as active, proud, very smart. The Greyhound as gentle, independent, noble. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
