Looking For Tiny Toy Poodles For Sale

By Mattie Knight


The decision to bring a canine into one's life is something that should be done with some careful consideration. There is a lot of responsibility involved in tending to their physical, emotional and medical needs for as long as they live. Before choosing one of the tiny toy poodles for sale, it would be best to know some of their general characteristics.

With a general IQ that far exceeds most other breeds, these dogs are touted as being among the most intelligent and adaptable canines around. They were bred to perform as retrievers for fowl hunters and have the ability to process commands quickly and to be trained easily. With their regal and haughty posture, these animals are often seen as symbols of affluence and success.

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.

The three most frequently found coat shades are apricot, white and black, though there are many possibilities. At least three sub categories exist to describe those dogs who have multiple hues arranged in specific patterns or possessing particular features. It is not at all unheard of for a pup to begin life as one color but become something completely different by the time it has matured.

This particular subset is the official category for any dogs that are less than ten inches high at the shoulder and not weighing more than twelve pounds. Those who are extremely small, coming in at 4lbs or less, are commonly referred to as Teacup, though this is not an AKC recognized grouping. Being so little, these animals require a little extra attention and protection against injury and health concerns.

With a typical lifespan of up to fifteen years, these canines are considered as long lived when in optimal health condition. They do tend to be prone to genetic diseases like diabetes, heart disorders, digestive issues and epilepsy as they get older. It is important to get regular ear care to stave off infections and to have eye exams to watch for retinal atrophy and cataracts.

Their adaptability makes them both excellent family pets as well as companions for those who live alone. They are suited for open spaces as much as for apartment dwelling. To get the best indoor behavior, they need to be taken out to exercise and release their pent up energy each day, though they should never be left outside for days on end.

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.
