Poodle in a puppy clip
Sooo cute. But even the toys are far from being "lap dogs." (okay, so every dog has a little lap dog in them no matter the size
) they are very active, intelligent, funny!, and bidable. I loved my toy poodle. She was an agility monster! She was willing to try anything and generally did it well (hated the see-saw, didn't like things that moved under her feet)
She was a counter surfer.... how, you ask, does an undersize toy poodle counter surf? (she was a whopping 4.5 lbs, too small for her breeder's taste and so spay and placed with lucky me
) Simple. First, she climbed the stools by the breakfast bar. Second, she jumped from the top of the stool to the top of the bar (this was a bi-level bar, btw, and quite high) then she merrily feasted her way around the kitchen, spending a great deal of time suckling the olive oil bottle so as to get a good case of the "trots" later.
Talk about training issues, we couldn't train the kids to put the stools right under the bar to prevent "Houndini" from doing this. Never wanted to use a pinch collar on a dog, but sure thought about it with the kids
(kidding of course)
