My mother has two toy poodles named Indie and Casper. She is as crazy over poodles as I am over yorkies.
What I have learned about TPs -
1.) They are SMART. Never ever ever understimate how smart they are.
2.) They are sneaky.
3.) They are delightfully entertaining.
4.) They don't shed any more than a human does.
5.) You have to stay on top of their grooming. Their hair is kinky curly and I think it mats quicker and easier than most yorkies.
6.) They are loyal and affectionate and just all around good natured.
7.) They CAN be a little possessive of their owner regardless of how well trained they are. Mom has one who is and one who isn't.
8.) Don't think you can get or avoid prissiness based on gender. Casper is male and is as prissy as they come. Indie is female and it very NOT prissy.
Hope that helps some.
