All poodle varieties are basically the same and that includes the Toy Poodle. They have the same normal traits such as their gentle and sweet nature, as well as their loyalty to their owners. They are intelligent, non-shedding, elegant and obedient, and very perceptive. They are third in line after the Standard and Miniature poodle.

The Teacup poodle is the only poodle that is smaller than the Toy Poodle. A Toy Poodle can weigh ten pounds at full maturity and the standard poodle is anywhere from twenty to thirty pounds at full maturity. While the Teacup poodle usually weighs no more then four pounds. The Toy Poodle is popular because it is not quite as delicate as the Teacup poodle, but is still quite small and cuddly.

A Toy poodle does not shed. Most dog lovers will tell you that a non-shedding dog is a very pleasant dog to have around. However, all Poodles need a lot of grooming in order to keep them free of tangles. The Toy Poodle will make a great family pet because it is great with children.
Toy Poodles can be very expensive dogs. They are considered designer dogs and their price tags express the designer price. The price of a Toy Poodle can range anywhere between eight hundred and one thousand dollars. These dogs come in many colors. Their popularity is due to their small size and the fact that they are very easy to maintain.

Their origins go back centuries when poodles were used in traveling circuses in Europe. They were used as performers for entertainment purposes. The early years of royalty caught on to the craze of the performing poodles and most had poodles with them courtside. They soon became very pampered pets, a trait which has carried on today. Considering a Toy Poodle for a family pet is an excellent idea. They are fun dogs and make great companions for kids. They are non-threatening and are very loyal to their owners. They are also very protective of children in their home.

A Toy Poodle is a small, but very healthy dog. They will remain healthy as long as they get the proper nutrition in their diets. Sometimes they can get a low sugar hit and a little karo syrup on your finger will take care of this problem. But if food is left out for your Toy Poodle during the day there should not be any problem of low sugar.

These are small but mighty dogs. They do need plenty of exercise any though they are small dogs. They love to sit in your lap and sleep with you at night. It is very difficult to tell these cute, cuddly dogs no to any of their requests. Toy Poodles are great fun to have around and quite the conversation piece because of their size. They are easy to care for and have a genuine personality and will be very loyal to their owner.

Poodle types were very popular and pampered pets of the Royal families hundreds of years ago. Any generic Poodle information will teach you how to care for your Toy Poodle.
