Anyone out there own a toy poodle?

[DODI]

We have picked up a toy poodle mix stray. I have no concept of what to do with it! What do they eat? Are they talkative? I don't what to expect -- any advice or poodle stories would be appreciated! He has been groomed -- all his hair was matted and he has had his shots -- what next!

Ever wonder? Where the hell the words "toy poodle" came from? Since when are dogs things to toy with? Hhhmmm? Whodda thunk?

No, don't reply. Please don't. LOL

6. I have one

I sort of inherited her when my mom passed away. I was never a small dog person but she is such a little sweetheart. She's a picky eater but hold out and they will eat the dog food eventually. She isn't a big barker. We have another dog and he is so maybe she lets him do the work. She's fiesty though won't let Max get away with a thing. The couch is hers and he had better not get any ideas about jumping up there. Harder to train to go outside than a bigger dog. Loves to curl up on a lap but she doesn't get put out being alone for awile either. Much more independent than I though a little one would be. Brush often to keep those mats away.
