 Anyone have toy(?) poodle?
Well as a lot of you know I am in the puppy mood, I have been researching all kinds of different breeds(toy poodles,chinese crested,biewers,maltese, papillons) thinking maybe eventually we would add another. I love the yorkie breed so I have even thought of adding another of those, I had inquired about Rachel's little guy too. My hubby hasn't been 100% with me on this idea, but I have been working hard on him for a few days now, and he is coming around. At first it was our finances he was worried about(the extra vet bills), but I told him I have a new job taking extra cash now watching my brothers kids and I'd use that.He also said he doesn't want to be a part of the housebreaking(going in and out), which I don't mind anyway. I think he is going to let me !! Now I am so confused, because I don't know what breed I want, I love them all! If it were up to me and I had the space I would have one of each, hee hee. Anyway, I have a friend that I spoke with today to get some poodle advice and she has a little black male toy poodle, he is the cutest, I went to see him. (I hate the word toy,but she says that is what they are called, I don't know.) that is left out of a litter that is not spoken for. He is 9wks. and weighs 1 1/2 lbs. His mom and dad are both about 5-6lbs. I think she said. I have seen the mom(she is black and small) the dad isn't hers so I haven't seen him. So I am wondering is this little boy going to be small(she estimates about 6lbs.) when I look at the charts I get 4lbs. Is this a healthy weight for this age? How can you tell if his fur will stay black, will it grey? She said it wouldn't. I wonder if it would get along with my other 3, yorkie, chihuhua and a pomeranian. When I seen him I fell in love, but could that just be my heart thinking first again.. So any advice on this issue would be appreciated. Should I get him, or should I add another yorkie, or another breed? I get so excited when I think of adding him to our family. Also what is the usual price of a toy poodle? |
