Introduction

The Toy Poodle, along with other Poodle breeds, is a popular family pet and companion in homes around the world, not least because of its low-shedding coat. Intelligent and energetic, they are always eager to please and form strong bonds with their people.

History

The Poodle’s origins can be traced back as far as the 15th century in Germany, but the exact origins of the Toy Poodle remain unclear. Both Toy Poodles and Miniature Poodles became very popular in royal households across Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries, and at one point in history they were known as “sleeve dogs” because they could be tucked into clothing to provide warmth. Their intelligence and playfulness saw many Toy Poodles become circus dogs in France, and they were also trained to sniff out expensive truffles, being gentle enough to dig them up without causing any damage.

Personality

Toy Poodles like to be the centre of attention and they love to entertain. They are energetic and cheerful little dogs, and adaptable enough to live in any size of home. They are loving and affectionate and form strong bonds with their people, meaning they don’t like to be left alone, and their sweet-temperaments and playful natures have made them very popular family pets and companions for people of all ages.

Health Issues Toy Poodles are known to have certain hereditary conditions that can affect them. These include diabetes, ear infections, skin tumours, and distichiasis (in-growing eyelashes).
Care Tips Toy Poodles are high maintenance. Grooming: daily brushing is needed to prevent matts and tangles from forming in the coat, and professional clipping is needed every six to eight weeks. Feeding: two meals per day of high-quality food. Exercise: a minimum of 45 minutes of exercise split into two walks each day is needed, but ideally longer and with as much free time off the lead as possible. Toy Poodles are energetic and intelligent, so not enough exercise or stimulation could lead to unwanted behaviour – including excessive barking.
