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.  |
I had a male red toy poodle, Daxton, that lived to be 15 years old. He was my "first-born".... before kids and husband. He was the best dog ever! 'Graleyne' described the poodle breed, as I know it to be, perfectly. Dax was a "not prissy" though...... and oh so laid back! I think your typical poodle is sometimes "yippy" but Dax wasn't. Just like Tatum (our Yorkie) isn't but some Yorkies are.
Yorkie or poodle.... you can't go wrong in my eyes!
