Patritziotis Caelestis

FCI Standard N° 172 — Caniche

Four varieties, one standard.

Every Patritziotis Caelestis poodle is measured and placed against the same official criteria set by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale — no exceptions across Standard, Medium, Miniature, or Toy.

Section 2 — Poodle · Group 9, Companion & Toy Dogs

Size & Weight, per FCI-St. N° 172

III	Miniature	Over 28 cm, up to 35 cm	4.5 – 7 kg

Each variety must display the same proportions and character as the Standard — reduced in scale, never in soundness, and without signs of dwarfism.

Health & Screening

Bred with the same discipline as a working line.

Before any pairing is planned, both parents are cleared against the conditions known to affect the breed — because a beautiful coat should never be the only thing that's inherited.

I

Hip & Elbow Scoring

Standard and Medium parents are radiographed and scored before breeding, in line with FCI-affiliated health schemes.

II

Ophthalmological Clearance

Annual eye examinations screen for hereditary conditions, including progressive retinal atrophy.

III

Patella & DNA Panel

Miniature and Toy lines are patella-graded, with DNA testing for breed-specific inherited conditions on file.

The Kennel

"Caelestis — of the heavens. A name chosen because a well-bred poodle should carry itself like it knows exactly what it's worth."
