Toy Poodle Information
The Poodle appeared so early in various parts of the world that there is some doubt to the land of origin. It is supposed to have come from Germany, where it is known as the Pudel. For years it has been regarded as the national dog of France, where it is known as the Caniche (duck dog).
The Poodle undoubtedly originated as a water retriever. In fact the unclipped Poodle of today bears great resemblance to the old Rough haired Water Dog of England. There is little difference in the Irish Water Spaniel and the Poodle. The Irish Water Spaniel is born with short hair on its face and tail, unlike the Poodle.
The Standard, Miniature and Toy are sizes only, they are all the same breed, and governed by the same standards.
Their top coat is wiry in texture with thick, close curls. The undercoat is woolly and warm. The various clips is a matter of taste of the average owner, and needs groomed about every 4-6 weeks. The colors of the Poodle are even solid colors, blues, grays, silvers, browns, cafe-au-laits, apricots and creams.
Standard Poodles should be over 15 inches tall at the withers, Miniatures should be 15 inches or under, and Toy Poodle's should be 10 inches or under.
Poodle's should carry themselves very proudly. They are active, intelligent, and very loving dogs.
Health concerns in the breed include eye problems, luxating patella, epilepsy, diabetes, thyroid disorder and allergies.
