I have 3 poodles One is miniature 9 yr old about 16 lbs
One is toy 5 yr old about 8 lbs
One is tiny toy(sometimes referred to as a teacup) 6 yrs old and 3 lbs
I believe the 3 pounder is the one you are referring to?
The above post was right, if very curly, probably not clipped.
My little guy never got an adult coat, but kept a puppy coat so not really curly even when not clipped. I have seen them curly though and they are adorable.
I had a white 3 pounder that died at 18 months of a brain aneurism.
It is not uncommon for these tiny ones to have many health problems, they can run up thousands in vet bills.
Bosley's(my little black tiny toy) little legs are the size of my index fingers.
Very fragile, and not for anyone with children, I put him in a regular baby playpen when children are here. Also too fragile to go out in severe winter weather, he either uses a litter box or pee pad. Also has bad patellas in back legs so if he gets to weigh too much will have to have surgery at $2500.00 per leg. So really walks of any length are out of the question, I usually wind up carrying him after 1/2 a block. This is a dog that I would not recommend getting, sorry if that offends anyone, I love him dearly and would take no amount of money for him but will never get another one as it is heartbreaking to lose them, I spent thousands trying to save my Liebchen (little white tiny toy) and lost him anyway and had spent many days on the floor with him as he tried to recuperate from grandmal seizures. I know these little ones are cute and so endearing and small enough to take anywhere, but please think twice.
I made sure when I got my Yorkie that I would not get a little one, I was just too leary and really 5-7 lbs isn't all that large.
Hope this helps.
