Toy Poodles Breeders - Toy Poodles appeared at the time when their larger relatives were pretty well known to European courts and general public. They were not only hunting dogs used to help retrieve waterfowl and upland game, but also court ladies used them as companions to amuse partners with whom they spent time. A dog a little smaller in size than the Standard Poodle, preserving its personality and appearance was just what they wanted. It could accompany them in long journeys and be quite easy to handle. The Toy Poodle grew very popular in the US as well, once it appeared there.

The Toy Poodle is a result of selective breeding of standard or large Poodles. They range in color from white to black. Extremely dense curly coat is the hallmark of the breed. Toy Poodles are identical to the Standard and Miniature Poodle except in height.

Toy Poodles Puppies - Toy Poodles are alert tiny dogs that have their share of admirers all over the world. Do not be deceived by an air of dignity that these little creatures usually have around them. In fact, they are rather friendly and sociable. They are said to be the darlings of society. Who can disagree? Toy Poodles come in a great variety of colors. These double-coated dogs are not afraid of getting cold. Still, a warm house or an apartment is a far better place to keep Toy Poodles in than a backyard.

When choosing a puppy, pay attention to its appearance and weight. Do not rush to pick the tiniest Toy Poodle. Keep in mind that puppies that are underweight can be prone to illnesses. Watch the pup playing with its littermates. It is a good test of its personality and physical qualities. A puppy should be neither shy, nor abusive. Toy Poodle pups that appear too stubborn can be hard to train in the future. It is tempting to pick a puppy on impulse. The first puppy that seems the wittiest among its cute littermates can turn out to be not the best choice. The puppy's coat should be clean and shiny. The teeth should be white. Examine the puppy's eyes and ears as well. Your experience with Toy Poodles ownership directly depends on the choice of a puppy you make.
