I used to try and correct people but now I just smile and nod and think they're an idiot. Ok, maybe not THAT harsh, but a lot of people are. :/ |
Really? I thought there were teacup poodles, and toy poodles?
I remember when I was a kid my neighbor had a little poodle and I believe she called it a teacup, she was such a tiny dog, maybe 5 lbs.
The lady that owns the dog boutique that I shop at has toy poodles, prob 15lbs a piece..
