History
Toy poodles are one of three sizes included in the Poodle dog family. They are the smallest variety of this breed and are bred-down from the prototype Standard Poodle lines. This is the only Poodle variety that is related to the Maltese toy dog breed. Toy Poodles are also the only variety of these types of dogs that were not bred for hunting. They were specifically bred to be companions. 17th-century paintings where these dogs were depicted prove their popularity amongst the European royalty and nobility. By the 19th century, these smaller Poodles became popular once again for a different reason. They were famous for being circus dogs, performing tricks and even acting in front of an audience.
Personality
Toy Poodles are very much like their Standard Poodle kins, very smart and eager to perform! They do not have the hunting instinct of their larger cousins. They do excel as family pets and companion dogs.
Bred For
Toy Poodles were bred to be companion dogs. These smaller Poodles are also one of the most popular show dog breeds today.
Environment
Toy and Miniature Poodles are dogs that will do just fine in the city. They are dogs that are great apartment pets.
Grooming
All Poodle varieties require special attention when it comes to grooming. Poodles that are bred for dog shows will require demanding and extensive grooming attention. Just trimming their coat will not do. It must be trimmed following three different cuts. These cuts are known to be the Pet cut, English Saddle Cut and the Continental cut. These Poodles are also great for people who have allergies. These are dogs that shed hair in very little amounts or none at all.
Training
All Poodle varieties are dogs that are very easy to train! This dog breed is even considered to be one among the easiest to train for obedience and higher levels of training.
Health
The Toy Poodle varieties have higher risks of having Cushing’s disease, hypothyroidism, Legg-Perthes disease and Von Willebrand’s disease.
Exercise
Toy Poodles are tiny dogs that are as energetic as their larger Poodle cousins. These dogs should be taken on walks every day.
