Standard and miniature poodles in red apricot. Standard Poodles are much less common, so the chances of buying a poorly bred puppy aren’t as high. The poodle is subject to a number of hereditary diseases such as epilepsy and progressive retinal atrophy. Standard Poodles in particular tend to be good with children. When they are from good bloodlines, all three varieties are fairly mellow dogs. Brown and cafe-au-lait colored Poodles have dark amber eyes, while apricot dogs may have amber eyes, but dark eyes are considered better. The Poodles length from breastbone to rump is approximately the same as the height at the withers. Black, blue, gray, silver, cream and white Poodles have black noses, eye-rims and lips, black or self colored toenails and very dark eyes. Breeding for appearance was only introduced in the 19th Century. Before this time dogs and puppies were bred to increase useful abilities and traits helpful for the duties they were intended for. Breeders know their dog breed the best and should be able to give you the temperament of their puppies and any special care the specific breed needs. Take your time as you are making a commitment that will last a decade or more. Breeder Web, unlike other sites, does not serve as a liason between the person who wants to find puppies for sale and the person who has bred their Toy Poodle puppies. We will require that you agree you are a humane breeder and not a dog breeder that breeds more than three types of dogs, as that tends to point at breeders who focus less on the dog and more on the profit.
