Teacup Poodle
Common Name: Poodle, Toy Poodle, Miniature Poodle
Country of Origin: France
History: It is believed the Teacup Poodle dog breed originally came from Standard Poodles and was simply bred down to reach the Toy and Miniature sizes. Some historians say that the Toy Poodle may be a distant relative of the Maltese.
The standard size Poodle dog was bred to be a hunter of varmints and other game. Both the Miniature and Toy Poodle dog was bred to be a companion dog only. The Mini and Toy Poodles were very popular with royalty in Europe and France and the paintings of that time depict many Poodles with their royal masters.
It is not surprising that Poodles also performed in circuses and still do to this day. They are extremely intelligent and some say the smartest dog breed in the world. The Poodle dog breed became popular after World War two when they were introduced to the United States.
The Standard, Miniature and Toy Poodle Breed all look exactly alike except for their sizes. That is why I believe that the Toy and Miniature Poodle are direct descendants of the Standard Poodle and not relatives of the Maltese. In my opinion the Mini and Toy Poodles were simply bred down from standard size poodles because royalty and owners wanted a smaller version of the standard poodle that they could take everywhere they went and carry easily.
Description: The Poodle Dog Breed is a small to medium size dog. They are very elegant looking. The tail is usually docked and carried erect. The nose is black or liver in color and the eyes can be a variety of colors. The Poodle has long drop ears that hang close to the head. The muzzle is straight and long. The Poodle coat is curly and can be clipped, natural or corded. The Poodle coat can come in a variety of colors including the following: blue, cream, black, gray, silver or white. The Poodle also comes in parti colors but this isn't recognized by all registries.
The Miniature and Toy also come in the same colors and parti color patterns. Each color mentioned can also have different shading. Some Poodles are a dark blue while another Poodle may be a lighter shade of blue.
Toy Poodle Height: Up to 10 inches
Miniature Poodle Height: Between 11 and 16 inches
Toy Poodle Weight: 5 to 11 lbs
Miniature Poodle Weight: 12 to 18 lbs
Temperament of the Poodle Dog Breed: Both the Toy and Miniature Poodles are very intelligent and highly trainable. This breed can be wary of strangers but are very affectionate with friends and family and the Poodle enjoys human companionship and both the Miniature and Toy Poodle will set on your lap and ride with you on your trips to town. I know a couple that drives a tractor trailer for a living and their Poodles travel with them everywhere.
Most Poodles are good with Children and other dogs and animals but socialization is very important with this breed and any breed. I'll give you more details about the importance of socialization below.
In general the Mini and Toy Poodles are more sensitive than the standard size Poodle.
Exercise: All three of the Miniature, Toy and Standard Poodle dog breed will do well with a family in the city, suburbs or country. They seem to adapt well to their surroundings and as mentioned are one of the more intelligent breeds.
Life Expectancy: The life expectancy of a Poodle dog is 13-18 years or more. It is important to make sure your Poodle puppy is up to date on all it's vaccinations, de-wormings. If it is over 12 weeks of age before flying the puppy will need a rabies vaccination.
Registries: Almost all registries include the Poodle dog breed. Some of those registries are as follows: AKC, CKC, APR, APRI, UKC and ACA. There are other registries out there but these are the most popular ones.
