Poodle pups sold by backyard breeders and puppy mills sell
their pups for less money, but frequently you will find they
are vague or have no information about the genetics in the
parents and ancestors, and unknowlegeable. Also,
purchasing a puppy at a less expensive price may very
well mean bad temperaments, no socialization contrary to
sellers' claims, poor environment, resulting in very likely a
shortened life span, and large vet bills experienced. The
pup you purchase will be a member of your family. You
should expect your puppy to live a considerable number of
years. The average is 14 years!

The money you think you "saved" by such a purchase will
probably be spent in creating good health and spending
considerably extra time to create a good temperament in
your puppy, IF even possible, then there is size at maturity
the pup is purported to become, but deliberately
represented falsely
WEIGHT ONLY
Shrewd sellers (con artists or just plain uneducated sellers of
Poodles) will always quote WEIGHT only to avoid
exposing the pup's true large size. It's a shame,
buyers and sellers alike never seem to ever read any Toy
Poodle books to be educated, a little anyway, for the Poo
puppy they are selling or buying.
Case in Point: A visited home with an advertised "Teacup
Poodle" for stud service, only to find he was 12" tall , all long
legs and a 3" wide thin body. This was obviously NO
Teacup, yet they said he only weighed 3 pounds! Due to his
thin size, am sure that his weight was correct, but not the
criteria to use in identifying Poodle classification logically and
obviously!
Also, you can have a 7" Poodle with big bones and/or rotund
body, who can weigh 6 pounds or better, but certainly can
NEVER be called a "T-Cup" because of the weight. The
HEIGHT dictates the classification (Teacup/tiny toy in this
case) of the Poodle. This is not to be confused with the fact
AKC does not recognize the terms or classification of
"Teacup" and "Tiny Toy" , which are breeders' terms, as they
are both encompassed in AKC's Toy Poodle category. Also,
not all Teacups are the same size!

Weight: is a controlled factor in science and is only
an indication if overfed or underfed, appetite, diet,
life style, skeletal structure, sick with Coccidia,
worms, etc. & is NEVER a requisite of Poodle
sub-classification, per AKC & U.K. They both use
inches to the top of the shoulder!
TEACUP SIZE DEFINED:
Since "Teacup Poodle" is just a name given by dog breeders
to describe an extra small poodle, there is no universal
standard and none published per se ! Each dog breeder has
their own definition of what size a Teacup should be! Most
breeders agree that a Teacup Poodle should be around four
pounds and under, but since Poodles are measured by height
and not weight, this could also be a factor. Most breeders
agree that a Teacup Poodle should be 8.5 inches and under,
such as the prominent Velvet Touch (Teacup Poodles) Kennel.
This is because, even though it is desirable for a Poodle to be
built square, some poodles are built tall and thin and might
only weigh 4 pounds, but can be 10 or 11 inches tall.
Some are built short and fat and might only be 8 inches tall,
but could weigh as much as 7 or 8 pounds. In general, we
believe a true Teacup to be around 2 to 4 pounds full grown
(least emphasis on weight as weight is a controlled factor in
science by being overfed or underfed, etc.) and 8.5 inches and
under in height.

ATTENTION PLEASE READ!

Poodles at times do not get their curls until 6-12 months of age. Also, color at birth is no guarantee of what their adult color may be.  i have had cream turn red, some reds fade and some darken.

THE MORE YOU CAN EDUCATE YOUSELF BEFORE PUTTING A PUP ON HOLD OR BUYING, THE BETTER OFF YOU WILL BE IN THE LONG RUN.

THEY NEED TO BE LOVED EVEN IF THEY CHANGE A BIT!

Thank you!!
