IMO they are related. There is some evidence that the toy poodle and the Maltese dog are related, but it is not certain if the Maltese was used to produce the toy poodle or if the poodle played a part in the development of the small white dog from Malta.

I had a little toy poodle growing up. Her name was Ebony and she was absolutely the best dog. I loved her so much and it broke my heart when she passed away. I say go for it

My first dog was a poodle I acquired after her elderly mom passed away. She was 1 when I got her. She had lived mostly in her crate and rarely got to play outside because of her mommy's pulmonary condition. She didn't even know her name. She was such a sweet baby. I got a 3yr old yorkie 1 week later and they got along great. My only problem with my Chloe was that her bond to me was VERY strong. I had her at a family christmas gathering and I forgot a present back at my house so I left for 10 minutes to run back and get it. When I got back they told me she stood at the door and cried unless someone held her the whole time. She was very smart, easily house trained, got along well with other dogs. But she loved her momma, more than anyone or anything. Congratulations on your new baby!! They are a wonderful little dog. She never had any health problems.

I grew up with toy poodles. We had 2 and my Grandmother had one. They are wonderful, smart, sweet, laid back little dogs. We had no health issues.

I would take it in a heartbeat if I were you.

Good luck with whatever you choose.

We have decided to take her. She is at my house now and she is doing very well. She loves my kids and she plays very well with my Yorkie. We are not so crazy about her name Portia. I think we may try to change it to Sophie, if we can. She is a lap dog and she likes to play too. I would love to post pictures of both of my dogs. I have tried to do it before and I don't know if I can't get my pictures the right size or what the problem is. I am not real computer literate. I will try again. Thank you all so much.

Congratulations!!! I know you will not be sorry! We can't wait to see pictures!!

Congrats on getting her..the name change will be fairly easy I would imagine. And with pictures the key is resizing them to the proper size...I have a hard time explaining it to people but maybe someone else will be able to give you better details!!
