Toy Poodle

The breed

The Toy Poodle is a very small, elegant dog with a square, well-balanced build and a distinctive curly or corded coat. Its coat may appear in colors such as black, white, apricot, cream, brown, gray, or red. Toy Poodles have dark, expressive eyes, long ears that hang close to the head, and a proud, alert carriage. Their refined outline and lively movement give them a graceful appearance.

Toy Poodles are generally bright, affectionate, and highly observant. They are often known for their quick learning ability and playful, spirited nature. Many form close bonds with their families and enjoy being involved in household activity. Though small in size, they commonly have confident, energetic personalities and can be surprisingly athletic.
