The Toy Poodle is an elegant-looking tiny dog with a slender muzzle and long neck. The coat is profuse and curly and is often styled. The Poodle is a clever, loyal companion with an amazing history considering these gorgeous dogs are one of the oldest breeds.
For all Poodles (toy, miniature and standard) health concerns are: Addison's disease, bloat, thyroid issues (both hyperthyroid and hypothyroid), hip dysplasia, collapsed trachea, Progressive Retinal Atrophy, Sebaceous Adenitis, Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease and epilepsy.
Intelligent, agile and self-confident
The Poodle most likely originated in Germany, although it is also claimed to be from France.
