Poodles are one of the few dog breeds that doesn’t shed. Grooming is an important part of Poodle hygiene. And then a week later, I start clipping their feet and then their tail.” I might just clipper their face the first time. “You want them to experience it and make it a positive experience of what the grooming process is,” says Jason. One reason why you want to groom Poodles early on is just to get them used to being groomed. Nail trimming can start as young as three days old to prevent the pup’s from scratching mom when they’re nursing. According to Jason, many breeders will start some type of grooming-like trimming their Poodles’ face-around four to six weeks. This is largely due to their small size and the fact that their teeth don’t arrive until later.įor Poodles, grooming is a key part of development. “They need a little more time with their mother because they’re much smaller as puppies,” says Jason. Twelve WeeksĪt about the three-month mark, Toy and Mini Poodles are typically ready to leave for their new homes. “The weaning process, from getting them off nursing with mom to puppy kibble, you really have to watch the smaller breeds so that they eat enough and don’t suffer from hypoglycemia,” says Jason.
Toy puppies can weigh just a few ounces at birth and their small size makes them susceptible to conditions like hypoglycemia or low blood sugar if they don’t consume enough calories. Toys and Minis are typically weaned at about eight weeks old. “Toys may not fully erupt teeth until seven or eight weeks of age.” Eight weeks “Toys and minis will develop their teeth a little bit later,” says Patti Jason, a board member of the Poodle Club of America and a Poodle breeder for 30 years. Six weeksĪt about six weeks, your Poodle’s teeth should start coming in. An example of supplemental food could be mixing goat’s milk with dog food, including one commercial puppy food that is mousse-like in its consistency, to make it easier for the puppy eat.

The three varieties reach developmental milestones at different speeds, and this is mainly due to size. Miniature Poodles measure 15 inches or less. Standards are 15 inches and taller, at the shoulder, usually maturing at 23 inches for females and 25 inches for males. Poodles come in three different varieties: Toy Poodles, Miniature Poodles, and Standard Poodles. A big part of Poodle development depends on the variety of your Poodle. is there a point when I will run home, run down my list of commands and be tooned up QUICK? I've heard you have to go through the training list 3 times for the doodle to be "maxed," and I wonder if that is true, and is that what it takes to get a reliable quick toon up.All dog breeds hit different developmental and growth milestones at various times, and Poodles are no exception to this rule. The one I have now is pretty good, and once, while waiting for an invasion with some TFs we were laughing because mine obeyed every time, while another NEVER did, but when I go to my estate for laff points, it seems I have to repeat commands over and over. But, I just went ahead and bought an expensive one from Dreamland and worked some on training it.Īnyway, what I'm wondering is if there comes a time when your doodle actually obeys each time? I've never gotten that far in training to know. I thought you had to trade doodles in, and really didn't know there was even a way to just delete them. Toontown said I had deleted him, but since no one else plays my account, and I surely would not have done that on purpose, I was puzzled about that. A few months back, my first doodle, which I had for months, suddenly disappeared.
