Toy Poodles

Toy and Small Breeds
The first insight into their ultimate adult weight again comes at six weeks of age. Simply take their six-week weight, double it, and then double it again. For example, a 1 lb. puppy at six weeks old will weigh around 4lb as an adult.

Temperament
Keep in mind that the inheritance of temperament is less predictable than the inheritance of physical traits such as size or shedding. Temperament and behavior are also shaped by raising and training.

Understanding Your Puppy’s Temperament
https://www.chewy.com/petcentral/understanding-your-puppys-temperament
Keep in mind, dog personalities aren’t purely determined by genetics. Nurture (experience) also plays a large part in how dogs personalities evolve. This is one reason why there’s a wide array of individual personalities. Some dogs are friendly and almost overly deferential, while other are short-fused and have unstable personalities.
A dog that is raised by the mom, along with its litter-mates, and has constant positive interactions with people and other animals during the first 3 to 4 months of life, will be more stable than a dog plucked from its family and isolated in a cage for weeks. Being raised properly contributes to a dog’s confidence, sociability, and stability of mood. It also positively effects its intellectual development. Regular handling and grooming of pups by owners and the dam facilitates optimal neuronal development. The bottom line is that a pup raised in a warm, loving family environment is likely to be more tolerant and accepting, and a better problem solver.
Not 100% hypoallergenic:
Poodles shed every 28days. Regular breeds shed daily.
Poodles are considered to be a hypoallergenic dog breed. This means that Poodles produce ‘fewer’ allergens than other dogs of the same species and are therefore less likely to cause an allergic reaction in people with dog allergies. Therefore, no dog is 100% hypoallergenic.
Poodle’s saliva has more protein types than their skin and may cause more allergies than dander. Allergy comes from two sources: Dander (skin flakes) and saliva. Saliva contains enzymes that help break down food in a canine’s mouth, but these enzymes can cause allergic reactions when they get into contact with air and are breathed in by humans with an allergy or sensitivity to them.
With all this information, basically, not brushing the dog daily and allowing the dog to lick, will certainly stimulate the immune system to activate and attack the proteins from the saliva just as if they were a virus or bacteria on the skin. That's why Poodles are considered High Maintenance dogs.
A Toy Poodle may be right for you…
If you want a dog who...
Is very small, light and graceful on his feet, athletic and agile
Has a short curly coat that is virtually non-shedding (the best coated breed for allergy sufferers)
Comes in a variety of colors
Is lively and playful
Is one of the brightest and most attentive of all breeds
Is easy to train and housebreak
Is usually polite with strangers and sociable with other animals
A Toy Poodle may NOT be right for you...
If you don't want to deal with...
Clipping the curly coat every four to six weeks
Daily brushing and combing to avoid painful debilitating matts.
Timidity when not socialized enough
Emotional sensitivity to stress, tension, and loud voices
Barking...

Besides the regular clipping, they do need daily exercise, as they are lively dogs. Poodles do need a lot of daily companionship. They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much and too long.
Poodles are creatures of habits; they learn "patterns" so quickly that they tend to anticipate everything you're going to do next. They expect their routines to always be the same.
Poodles are "soft" and sensitive dogs, sometimes hypersensitive. If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound, they tend to flinch. The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children.
Similarly, Toy Poodles can get emotionally upset if there's too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony.
Toy Poodles are not for children. Some Toy Poodles are such gentle souls they are overwhelmed by the roughhousing and mischief of small children, while others simply won't put up with it.
Poodles are sensitive dogs who like to live in peaceful environments. If your house is full of chaos, it can cause your Poodle unnecessary stress. Though they are good with kids, they often don't do well in homes with lots of children where there may be a great deal of yelling and tension.
Allergies
Allergies, is usually due to the ‘dander’ -- flakes of dead skin -- as well as the enzymes in the ‘saliva’ and ‘urine’. So, any dog can potentially cause an allergic reaction, including poodles. People may think certain breeds of dogs are “hypoallergenic,” but a truly non-allergic dog or cat does not exist. However, if you still want a toy poodle, there may be some strategies to reduce exposure. Here’s a very good article. Hope it is helpful.
What is a phantom poodle
While it is the solid Poodle that is the most common, is good to know more about Phantom Poodle coloring (pronounced phantom) , which is different than mismarks, the Tuxedo and partis.
Here’s to help explain what these colors are and why they exist.
Meaning of Phantom Coloring
A phantom Poodle is not a different breed or type of dog, this is simply a phrase to describe a particular coat coloring of the dog.
This type of coloring, while extremely beautiful and preferred by many Poodle owners, is not yet accepted by the AKC in regard to conformation. Therefore needs to be register by color. The word Phantom is not on the list.
Phantom is different than parti colored Poodles, even though both parti and phantoms have a mixture of 2 colors. This term only refers to Poodles that have specific markings on a solid background. The solid will usually be: Black, cream, apricot, red, white, silver or brown
Broken down into more detailed groups:
Black phantoms - black & apricot, black & red, black & cream, black & gray, black & brown or black & silver
Chocolate phantoms - Brown & apricot
Red phantoms - red & apricot
Silver phantoms - silver & cream
The markings must occur on certain parts of the dogs' coat. Many refer to these markings as Dobie markings (short for Doberman), however this pattern also appears on Dachshunds, certain Spaniels, Yorkies, Manchester Terriers and certain Coonhounds. These markings must be:
Above each eye ; On the sides of the muzzle (also referred to as the side of the cheeks); Across the dog's chest; Down the legs; Under the tail
All phantom Poodles are born with their markings. This does not occur as the dog ages.
Care
Phantom Poodles, just like any other double colored Poodle including tuxedos or parti, are defined by coat color only. There are no differences in regard to vulnerabilities to health issues and they do not require any different sort of grooming or care that differs from a solid Poodle. In addition, there are no behavioral or temperament differences with Phantoms. Where color lands on the coat is simply a matter of genomes and does not affect the personality of the dog.
