This is the smallest of the three Poodle varieties and was bred down from its larger and older cousins in France during the eighteenth century.

The Toy Poodle is affectionate, smart, very clean and loves to play and be with its people. Miniature and Toy Poodles are very intelligent dogs, which, when handled properly, quickly learn what is required of them.

The Toy Poodle is a wonderful pet for older children who treat it with respect. It also makes a great therapy dog.
