Cubbie is a Toy Poodle!
The Toy Poodle is a peppy, intelligent little dog whose exercise can be met with a brisk walk or indoor games. It should never live outside! It needs to be groomed at least 4 times a year and receive a thorough brushing 3 to 4 times a week. It stands under 10" tall and weighs less than 8 pounds.
Although we think of these dogs as "fancy" dogs, they are rugged individualists. They love to hunt, play and swim. They are very intelligent and need to be involved in some regular, mental training regimen or they will quickly become bored.
These early Poodles were prized for their duck hunting abilities, herding talents, military service and as circus performers. They eventually became popular as elegant companions for wealthy ladies. The coat was shorn off for swimming – except for the chest, which helped to keep the body warm. It’s thought that the other puffs of hair were added during its circus performing as decoration.
We are pleased to welcome Cubbie to our practice!
