Let's make the answer to your question a bit more specific. As with any dog breed, the larger the animal, the shorter the lifespan can be. So here's what I'll tell you. There are always exceptions to the rule, but basically:
!. Toy Poodles = 12-14 yrs
2. Minature Poodles = 12 yrs
3. Standard Poodles- 10-12
Hope this helps. I've had all sizes of Poodles all my life. I've bred, shown and groomed Standard Poodles for over 15 yrs.
A standard would be 10-13, similar to a lab. But smaller dogs have a greater chance of living longer, so a miniature poodle would probably have a longer lifespan.
14-16 years, depending if he is a Standard, Miniature or Toy Poodle. Smaller dogs usually live longer than the large breeds, depending on how they pass away of course.

Poodles can live for a good long time. My parents had a male poodle that lived to be 13 years old.
