Best Answer

No, the miniature poodle is a pedigree breed that was bred from the standard. From each litter of standards, people took the smallest members and bred those together, and repeated this every generation. Because the larger members of the generation were not bred, it meant the genes for larger poodles were slowly bred out of the gene pool, making the average offspring's size smaller each generation.

How tall does a west highland terrior crossed with a miniature poodle grow?

Hard to say because it IS a mixed-breed dog. Mixed breeds are a genetic crap shoot, there's just no reliable way to predict which breed's traits will show. But remember, a MINIATURE poodle is not as small as a toy poodle and as size goes a full-bred Westie is generally somewhere in the middle between a toy poodle and a miniature poodle. Also in both those purebreds the males are larger than the females.
