The Toy Poodle became part of English history during the 18th century as a miniature to its counterpart the Standard Poodle. These charming and naturally hypoallergenic pooches were created by breeding a petite sized Poodle, with the smallest of the small puppies from new litters. Toy Poodles may be small in size, but they are proud animals. They have a graceful posture and lots of love to give.
Appearance and Grooming
With dark oval eyes, ears that hang close to their heads and long straight muzzles these tiny pooches are well proportioned. Though the coat of a poodle does not shed, they do keep growing throughout a dog’s lifetime and therefore will need regular grooming every six to eight every week along with daily brushing to minimize tangles and knots. Though you never know what color your furry friend will be based on the litter, you can be guaranteed a mix of gorgeous colors including: apricot, black, blue, brown, cream, gray, red, silver, silver beige and white.
Temperament
These sweet and cheerful pooches, though shy at first, love to be around people. It is uncommon for these dogs to exhibit aggressive or protective behaviors, however if not properly trained or socialized at an early age they may become vocal and anxious. They are sure to adapt well to their new environments and into their hearts of their owners quickly.
Family and Companionship
In general, due to their kind and gentle nature, Poodles are great family dogs. They are protective and loving when it comes to their family. However, due to their tiny frame, Toy Poodles are not the best Poodle for children, since they are small and fragile. These household companions adapt quickly to their environment and will do well in large family homes or in small apartment settings.
Exercise
Though they are small, the Toy Poodle is an active dog that requires a daily walk and indoor play. Dogs that do not get to go on daily walks are more likely to display behavior problems. If you have a fenced in area in your yard this is the perfect place for them to romp around, but don’t mistake this as a substitute for walking as their primal instincts still require such.
Training and Socialization
These toy size pups are remarkably intelligent and highly responsive making them one of the most trainable breeds. With patience and practice, these dogs will become well-trained and well-behaved dogs. Plenty of socialization is vital to this pup starting at a young age as it fills them with the confidence they need around people and other pets.
Frequently Asked Questions
Poodle’s come in three sizes: Standard, Miniature, and Toy. The Standard Poodle measures over 15 inches at the shoulder and most are in the 22-27? range. The Miniature Poodle measures between 10 and 15 inches at the shoulder and most are in the 13-15? range. The Toy Poodle measures 10 inches and under at the shoulder.
Poodle’s should be brushed a minimum of once per week with regular scheduled grooming appointments have 5 to 6 weeks.
The average lifespan of a healthy Poodle is between 12 to 14 years.
Yes! In fact, they are considered one of the most intelligent dog breeds ever. They are very in tune to their human’s moods and emotions.
Not necessarily. There are many different color poodles and some even with pattern. Multicolor Poodles are just as purebred as a solid color Poodle.
No dog is truly hypoallergenic and the Poodle is no exception. Although Poodles shed very little they can still trigger an allergic reaction in some people from the fur, dander or even the saliva.
The term Moyen is the French word for medium or intermediary. It just means that these Poodles are small sized standards. In other countries, this size is considered the forth size of poodles but, in here in the United States, these dogs are recognized as standards that are simply smaller, usually between 16" and 20" tall and up to 40 lbs.
Like any breed of dog, Poodle’s can experience certain health issues, however this breed is known for living long and healthy lives. Common health concerns arise as a dog begins to age, and common ailments for a Poodle include hip dysplasia, epilepsy, and hypothyroidism. Keep in mind that their size can make a big difference in health issues. Toys and Miniatures are at greater risk for joint-related issues. Standard poodles, however, are more likely to experience bloat, or GDV, a big-dog health concern.
Poodles are highly recognized for their intelligence and ease of training. They are active, energetic and fun-loving dogs that thrive on attention and are always eager to play. They will live long happy lives as long as they are given plenty of exercise and stimulation. They get along great with children and other pets and make excellent companions and family dogs. They are also great sportsman dogs that excel in hunting and love to swim.
The Poodle is often recognized as being a descendant of France, but they actually are of German origin. The Poodle breed became "set" in type in the 1800s, and is named from the German "pudel" meaning puddle or splash.
Lots! Many people think that the Poodle only comes in neutral tones like white, black or brown, but they actually can also come in apricot, blue, cream, gray, red, silver, and beige. They can even come in bicolor patterns.
Does the American Kennel Club (AKC) recognize the Standard Poodle?
An individual animal, bred from parents of the same breed or variety is called a purebred. This means that your purebred Poodle was bred by parents that are also both purebred Poodles. In addition, the puppy’s grandparents, great-grandparents, etc. would also be purebred Poodles.
Today it is just a style. Years ago when these dog were bred and used for working dogs, they would cut the hair on the Poodle's hindquarters, making it easier for them to swim. A Poodle’s coat is very heavy when it is wet. The Poodle's hair around its lungs and heart remained long to provide protection from cold weather.
Yes, very much so. Poodle’s love to be in the company of others and they prefer the company of people over other dogs. This doesn’t mean that they don’t get along with other dogs- in fact they get along with other animals very well.

Bambi is our 2nd puppy from Premier. We have a beautiful Maltese, Bean, as well. Our experience from texting, purchase, and pick-up was perfect. She’s healthy, loves to play, she’s exactly what we needed as a playmate for Bean. The customer service with Premier is exceptional. We wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Freddie is our first dog and we don't know why we waited so long to get one. He has brought such joy and fun to the home. He's a stud muffin everywhere we go and all the girls love him. We know a lot of folks who say, go to the shelter and adopt. But, sometimes you just have to get the one that you want that suits your family and getting Freddie from Premier was the way to go. We aren't afraid to say it out loud that we bought him. My sister was able to hold a dog for the first time in her 50 years because of allergies. Thank you!!!

| Name: | Hot Girl Phoebe |
| Breed: | Poodle |
| Client: | Nadia |
| Loc: | Hartford,Connecticut |
Hot Girl Phoebe was our second purchase from PremierPups. Phoebe was a Toy Poodle and weighed only 2lbs at 16 weeks old. Phoebe was the most perfectest pup and was fully potty trained at 11 weeks and did well sleeping thru the night. Super playful, energetic, and loving she was. Unfortunately she got ahold of rat poison while at my homegirl’s house. The poison contained ‘Bromethalin’ which unlike other rodenticides has no antidote and it attacks the neurological system. She didn’t make it at the emergency vet and we miss her everyday. She was very feisty relative to her size and fit right along in this loud ethnic opinionated Afro-Dominican household. I recommend Premierpups to everyone they’re great and helped me select another Toy Poodle at a very good discounted rate who we’re getting this July. My experience with them has been real good and the services they offer are like no other you’d get with any ole breeder. Also GET PETPLAN INSURANCE. At first, I was like umm nahh this ain’t it I barely drive w/ insurance so why would i need insurance on a dog?? But It saved us money and reimbursed us for almost all of what we spent. The insurance checks were real fat, I was able to do some retail therapy to cope with my loss and I highly recommend purrr ??! All in all its giving peaches and cream and apple sauce. We just mourned the loss of our beloved Afro-Latina Princess Hot Girl Phoebe with a service and a proper burial in a pink satin casket and are ready to move forward with our people at PremierPups. Thanks again you guys!??
