Toy Poodles are the smallest variety of the Poodle breed, known for their intelligence, elegance, and curly coats. They are typically less than 10 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh around 4 to 6 pounds.
Here are some key features of Toy Poodles:
- Temperament: They are highly intelligent, making them easy to train. Toy Poodles are also playful, loyal, and often very affectionate with their families.
- Exercise needs: Despite their small size, they are energetic and require regular exercise and mental stimulation to stay healthy and happy.
- Grooming: Toy Poodles have a curly, non-shedding coat, but they require regular grooming to prevent matting. Many owners opt for professional grooming to maintain the classic “poodle cut.”
- Health: Common health issues include patellar luxation, dental problems, and eye conditions. Regular vet visits and good care can help them live long lives—often up to 15 years or more.
Toy Poodles are great for those looking for a small, hypoallergenic dog with a big personality!
