3. Toy Poodle

The Toy Poodle shares the exact same conformation and intelligence standards as the Miniature and Standard Poodles, just scaled down to stand 10 inches or under at the shoulder. Adult Toy Poodles typically weigh between 4 and 6 pounds.

They offer the distinct advantage of a tightly curled, low-shedding coat, making them an excellent choice if you suffer from allergies. Beyond their elegant appearance, Toy Poodles are highly intelligent and excel in obedience training, easily mastering complex tricks and agility obstacles.
