Frequently Asked Questions

Most of the time, males are more easy going than females. Females are usually the leaders of the pack, they tend to be more bossy and more independent than the males. You will also need to deal with the females' heat cycles if you do not get her spayed. Males, on the other hand are very loyal and protective and bond with all members of your family. Females tend to bond more closely with one person in particular. If the male is neutered before he reaches sexual maturity, he will not learn to lift his leg and mark his territory.  As far as activity levels between males and females go, males have a strong desire to play and remain young at heart well into their senior years. Females become reserved as they age, seeking your attention one day then acting aloof or uninterested the next. Although there are differences between the sexes, each dog has his or her own unique temperament and personality and both make wonderful pets.

Over many generations, the toy poodle has been bred down in size, creating smaller and smaller dogs. These tiny dogs are known as teacup and tiny toy poodles. These little dogs are just as healthy and active as regular sized toy poodles, only smaller. They are small offspring that have been bred from small parents, small grandparents and small great grandparents.  Teacup and tiny toy Poodles have a life expectancy of 12 to 15 years, with many living even longer. 

Because of their small size, teacup and tiny toy poodles are well suited to apartment living as they do not require a big back yard or regular walking. They are easily trained to use an indoor doggy toilet or doggy door. Teacup and tiny toy poodles need the companionship of people and should never be left alone for long periods of time. They get very lonely and suffer from separation anxiety. If your puppy will be left alone a lot, we suggest you get two puppies so that they can keep each other company when you are out.  Teacup poodles are not suitable for families with small children or other larger dogs as they could get injured. Teacup and tiny toy poodles are extremely intelligent and very social. They simply adore spending time with their humans. Poodles are non-shedding and hypo-allergenic, which is very appealing.
