2. Place the end of the measuring tape at the base of the poodle's neck.
3. Run the measuring tape along the poodle's back to the base of the tail.
4. Record the measurement.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 to measure the poodle's height at the shoulder.
6. To measure the poodle's chest, place the end of the measuring tape at the widest point of the chest and run it around the body, making sure to go under the belly.
7. Record the measurement.
