Poodle Love

Drain down from the standard poodle, the Toy Poodle was a fave of 18th-century royalty. An affiliate of the North American Dog house Club Toy Group, the Toy Poodle weighs between six and nine pounds and is up to 10 inches tall.

This dog is stylish in stature with its kinked coat that may be groomed in different styles, but the most familiar being one which includes poofs of hair round the ankles and head. The ears are long and flat hanging down next to the head and the eyes are dark and almond formed within alert expression. The Toy Poodle is highly intellectual and one of the simplest dogs to coach, though he could be a bit delicate and naturally you’ll wish to use positive training with this breed. They must be socialised from a young age and can are inappropriate barkers if not trained correctly in this area. Here is a excellent page on the subject of
toy dogs. Toy poodles can suffer with runny eyes, ear infections, hearing anomalies and skin conditions as well as issues with the bowel. Even though it does not seem to be as bad as some I’ve seen, it still bothers me to see it on my girl. There always appears to be a disproportionate quantity of tears draining down my small dogs face, mainly one eye. Anything that would presumably cause redness, and then lead to more tearing. Washing my poodle each week also removes waste and dust from her fur, that might fall into her eyes. Some may fall prey to Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia or PRA.
