Everything about the Toy Poodle: intelligence, character and affection
The Toy Poodle is one of the most intelligent breeds in the canine world, officially recognized by the FCI in group 9. Weighing between 3 and 5 kg and standing less than 28 cm tall, it is the perfect companion for both apartments and houses with gardens.
Its balanced, affectionate nature and high receptiveness to learning make it an ideal breed for families with children, seniors, and owners looking for an active and sociable dog. The Toy Poodle especially enjoys games, positive reinforcement training, and constant interaction with its human family.
Its curly coat —dense, with no noticeable hair loss— is an advantage for people with mild allergies, although it requires frequent brushing and regular visits to the dog groomer to maintain its fluffy and healthy appearance.
