Him shivering in the bath was so adorable like poor baby has no idea what the hell is even happening. Looking like he was experiencing PTSD from a past life.
We had apricot miniature poodles growing up and SAME. They’re sooo sweet and smart ❤. Although don’t tell anyone 🤫, I think an apricot cockapoo is in my future. Two incredible breeds. Just impossible to resist 🫠❤️
@@DeeLite220 Please, please, PLEASE just get another poodle instead. There are no ethical breeders of ‘cockapoos’ or other doodles. I am begging people to please not fall for the fad if they care about animals at all. Please.
The amount of “oh my gawwwddd, lewkkk at Teeedddddyyyy-ing” I just did was disgusting. But I’m gonna watch 10 more times and have the same reaction 😂😂 so adorable.
I have a toy poodle too and he’s literally the cutest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Like I can’t believe something so cute could be living in my house
You do NOT want to keep a poodle or a poodle mix puppy with long fur. Their thin fuzzy puppy fur gets matted very easily, especially with mixes, and during coat change. I did a lion cut on my standard poodle pup when he was about 8 weeks old. The fluff was very hard to care for because we got him in the spring and it was always muddy, he constantly got dirty and his hair got tangled easily. He is 3 months now and I am growing out his fur so he can wear the continental cut. He is not a show dog though, he is a service dog in training, sports dog, and a future therapy dog. I want to keep him in a continental so he can look amazing at all times. It will be a lot of work though, he will need to be completely brushed daily, his hair will have to be wrapped and banded when we are at home, he will need a full grooming session every week which will take me about 5 hours, every time he gets wet I will need to dry him completely or else his hair will curl, he will need his legs and other dirty areas washed and dried as soon as they get dirty, and I will have to do a touch up shave every 5 days to keep him in tip top condition. He will also be hiking with me and he will need to be bathed and dried after that too.. I wanted to show him but his parents come from different pedigrees. The breeder breeds dogs for service and therapy work. The father is a service dog for the breeders son, he is AKC registered and he dogs obedience, dock diving, and duck hunting also. His mother is a UKC registered therapy dog, she volunteers at childrens hospitals. His mum was a show dog but she is retired. His dad is a parti so he can not show with AKC, the parti colouring is a normal colour for them but AKC only allows solid colours for poodles. My boy came from their first litter, they will have another litter next year then they will both retire from breeding and get spayed/neutered. A breeding dog shouldn't have more than 2 litters. I am very lucky that my cousin breeds them! She has been breeding poodles for over 10 years and I was the one that started the service dog journey for her pups. I noticed that her dogs had the perfect temperament so I told her to go to a trainer, she trained one of them (my pups father) to work for her disabled son and they are a fantastic team! Since they didn't need 2 service dogs, the rest of her breeding dogs became therapy dogs. She donates 1-2 puppies from each litter to a service dog or search and rescue program. Her dogs have the perfect temperament for everything! She truly created the best line. All of her dogs are healthy, happy, smart, are in the breed standard, and have perfect temperaments. Every single puppy she has bred is PERFECT! Their structure looks just like the breed standard photos, they are absolutely immaculate. I wish more breeders would breed working lines!
@@mobstercrow7515 ok, so the upkeep of these breeds is just insane and for people with nothing much else to do? Got it. Thanks for talking me out of getting a Teddy.
@@oliviastar3812 Yes, it is a lot of work. If you don't groom them yourself you will spend at least 100 dollars every 3 weeks at the groomers. Poodles are great dogs, but unless you are doing sports or training them as a service or therapy dog, it isn't worth the upkeep. I'd recommend getting a lab. Labs shed a lot during shedding season, all you have to do is brush them a few times a week and you're good to go! They are awesome dogs, they are very large though. Many shelters have labs and similar doggos. It's always best to adopt a dog unless they will be training as a mobility service dog. Mobility dogs require good health, bones, joints, and ligaments, you don't really know how healthy a mixed breed will be so it is best to go to a breeder that does a lot of testing and gives health guarantees.
