About the Breed
Originating in Germany, the Poodle is one of the most popular dog breeds in the world. This lovely breed has three AKC registered sizes - Toy, Miniature, and Standard Poodle puppies. Also known as Pudelin, Water dog, and Canische in some places, this adorable, curly dog breed is renowned worldwide.
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 owners' hearts quickly.
Family and Companionship
In general, due to their kind and gentle nature, Mini and Toy Poodle puppies 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 companion dogs adapt quickly to their environment and do well in large family homes or in small apartment settings.
Exercise
Though they are small, Miniature poodles and Toy Poodles are active dogs that require 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 highly 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 the Toy Poodle puppy starting at a young age as it fills them with the confidence they need around people and other pets.
Our Mini and Toy Poodle puppies for sale receive a start in early socialization. Our Puppy Agents and Poodle breeders interact with the puppies daily to ensure their transition to your home is smooth. The puppies and their parents also go through regular genetics health tests to ensure they are healthy and happy. Our reputable breeders are held to the highest standards.
