Poodles enjoy a longer than average life span. Standard Poodles typically live 12 to 14 years, some as long as 16 years. Miniature Poodles and Toy Poodles typically live 13 to 18 years. Compare this to the average life span of most large dogs, who typically live 8 to 12 years, and most medium dogs, who typically live 12 to 14 years. Few Toy breeds live longer than 10 to 14 years. Add these longer-lived Poodle breeds to the mix, and you’ve got a good chance of getting a few more great years with your Doodle.

Although the Doodle’s life span may be similar to that of a parent Poodle, it ultimately depends on great nutrition, healthy environment, and appropriate exercise.
