Poodles are regarded as one of the most intelligent dogs that a person can own. The American Dog Association has recognized the three sizes of poodles -- standard, miniature and toy. The smallest of these are toy poodles, which measure less than 10 inches at the shoulder. They are lovable and friendly pets which usually provide the friendship of many years. They are playful and agile, and never feel that they are small in size. However, toy poodle is considered to be highly a intelligent dog. |

Poodles do not shed much dander in comparison to other dogs, which is a prime cause of allergy, but this feature does not make them completely free from any allergy. Other dogs which follow the same suit do not shed much dander and less prone to allergy are the Bichon Frise and other cross breeds with poodles.
However, after the gap of two months, poodles have to visit a professional groomer who trims their fur. The speed of the growth of fur of poodles is quite fast and if not trimmed by professionals within two months, fur covering their eyes would get tangled. Every visit for fur trimming costs around $35 to $60.
Buying poodles is less expensive than taking care of them properly. Buying poodles would cost nearly $500. The quality of food is dependent on the brand you use. Apart from food, brush will cost $5, dish for serving food and water will cost between $10 and $30, a leash will cost $3, and a collar near about $3, excluding a sweater for winter.
However, the list for the things involve in taking care of poodle does not ends here. Poodles, especially toy poodles, are sharp and seek excitement in mischievous activities, and often end up breaking their bones while jumping. So, they need to be properly cared for.
