Looking For Tiny Toy Poodles For Sale

By Mattie Knight


Adding a canine companion to one's life is a decision that should be taken with some consideration. Like children, a pet means accepting the responsibility to care for their every need for their entire lifetime. This is why it is important to understand the characteristics and requirements of tiny toy poodles for sale before commitment.

In general, this breed has a reputation for possessing higher IQ's than others, and being extremely adaptable because of that impressive intelligence. Being originally bred to be retrievers for hunters, they are very responsive to commands and are surprisingly easy to train. They have a haughty stature that has become synonymous with affluence and success for many dog lovers.

Typically, these dogs have a squared body with even legs, rigid tail and long neck that holds a small roundish head. Their faces are quite interesting with a long muzzle, straight hanging ears and far set dark oval eyes. Two of their more distinctive features are their coats, which may be corded or curly like lambs' wool, and their rounded feet with arched toes.

Though they come in a variety of colors, the three most common are black, white and apricot. There are groupings such as the Parti, Tuxedo and Abstract, that feature multiple tones in specific patterns or styles. An interesting fact about this breed is that a puppy may be born with one coloring type but change to a completely different look as it matures.

This particular name is given to the category that encompasses all the dogs in the breed that are no more than ten inches high and that do not exceed twelve pounds. Extremely small specimens, those not breaching 4lbs, are often called Teacups, though the AKC will not officially recognize that as a group. Being the smallest of their type, owners of these pups should be cautious to protect them against injury and vigilant of certain health concerns.

When given good care and having favorable health, the dogs tend to live long lives of about fifteen years or so. With advanced age, however, the onset of genetic diseases such as digestive issues, epilepsy, diabetes, and heart disorders are more likely. Proper ear cleaning can help keep infections away and the eyes should be watched for signs of problems like retinal atrophy or cataracts.

As a highly adaptable breed, they are wonderful companions for single individuals though they are equally as loving to families with children. They make great apartment dogs but also do quite well in homes with yards. As long as they are given the opportunity to run out their energy each day, they tend to be very well behaved indoors, though it should be noted they are not meant to be exclusively outside pets.

Allergy sufferers find this breed especially appealing because their unique fur does not shed and typically produces a nearly imperceptible amount of dander. They can be quite entertaining as they learn tricks easily and are generally willing to play fetch or romp around with children for hours. To get the best responses possible, owners need to issue commands calmly, with authority and freely offer praise, love and affection.
