Ideal for First-Time Dog Owners:

Toy Poodles are well-suited for first-time dog owners. They are friendly, playful, highly intelligent, and easy to train. Known as the second smartest dog breed, they typically have fewer genetic health issues, reducing concerns about veterinary bills. While they enjoy interaction with people, they don't become excessively energetic or create a mess when left alone. They are generally proud and calm but require your attention.

Great for Families with Children or Expecting Parents:

Toy Poodles love playing with children and adapt well to the presence of a newborn in the family. They are sensitive but maintain a good temperament, making them less likely to become "jealous."

Suitable for Allergies:

Toy Poodles are one of the lightest shedding and most hypoallergenic coated breeds. If you or a family member has allergies, a Toy Poodle is an excellent choice as they don't shed hair all over the house. However, caution is still advised for those who are allergic to dogs when approaching them.

Perfect for Apartment Living:

In densely populated areas like NYC, apartment living is common, and Toy Poodles are an ideal size for such environments. They feel comfortable and content in apartment settings.

Still, there are Considerations:

• Regular grooming is necessary, but you can easily learn basic grooming techniques from YouTube.

• Like many small breeds, Toy Poodles can be sensitive to environmental changes, which may lead to barking. However, their barking is not as pronounced as some other breeds, and they can be trained.

• Toy Poodles are generally a healthy breed with a life expectancy of 12 to 15 years. Regular vet visits will help ensure a long and healthy life for your pet, as is the case with all dogs.
