Toy Poodle overview
The Toy Poodle originated in France as a companion, a miniaturization of the German herd-guarding and water-retrieving Standard Poodle. They are slightly larger than the Miniature Poodle.
Independent, thoughtful and responsive, they are easily obedience trained. Good with children and suitable to either hot or cold climates, their size makes them good in the urban environment.
Woolly, springy , curly and resilient, the coat requires very regular grooming and frequent trimming, but does not shed. They are the smallest of the Poodle breeds.
