Judging from the photo, Lizzie isn't a standard poodle. She appears to the middle size -- the Miniature. The Standard Poodle is over 15 inches at the shoulder.The Toy is under 10 inches. Tough to tell because she's laying down, but the one in the photo appears to be the mid-size.

I agree, the dog in the article definitely isn't a standard. I was commenting on a lot of people's mistaken belief that all poodles are toy dogs.
