You mentioned that you are having problems potty training. Do you crate train her? Don't leave her to roam around freely when you are not there. When you get home take her out right away. Then she will know where she is supposed to go. She is adorable. I have a poodle the same color who's name is Cody. I love him so much. Enjoy her! 😀
Hi: I'm Khanh--say Kon--and I found your channel because I was looking for Poodle videos; I'm not getting a toy Poodle, but I am getting a Standard--no sooner than 2025. I remember being a first time dog owner--we all are at some point and we all make a ton of mistakes. I'm so glad you finally were able to get the dog you wanted. I don't judge or criticize someone's choices, especially if I don't know them. Rather, I'll offer some thoughts that will hopefully help you or someone else with puppy rearing and succeeding with a pup long-term. First when getting any pup from a reputable breeder, it's not uncommon to pay a deposit. I work for a small breeding program, and we do collect a nonrefundable deposit. But every breeder's process is different so it's very important that the buyer get to know the breeder first; building a relationship with a breeder is more work, but you increase your chances of getting a healthy pup, you get lifetime breeder support and mentoring, and if circumstances arise where you have to rehome the dog, a responsible breeder will take him/her back. Yes, there are plenty of skammers. That's why it's important puppy buyers know what questions to ask and take the time to have many communications with a prospective breeder. Switching to a different food should be done gradually--read the ingredients on a dog food label, educate yourself about how to read and choose dog foods--and gradually switch over a period of two weeks. Adding a small amount of pure pumpkin--not pumpkin pie filling--can aid the dog's stools. If you can prevent behaviors before they occur, your puppy won't develop undesirable habbits. Expect puppies to chew--and chew a lot. Offer her a variety of toys and bones to chew on--Nyla and Kong are two very good brands--, and when she goes after something like your shoes or clothing, redirect her by offering her a chew toy and praising effusively when she chews it. A classic mistake most people make is offering the dog freedom of the home too quickly. When I bring a new puppy home, he/she stays with me in a sling for the first few days when I need to do other things but can't fully supervise him/her. Then I tether him/her to me so that the puppy learns to walk well on a leash and follow me around--we can also play fun short games like "touch" or "sit", or "shake hands", etc. Freedom is offered gradually, beginning with right after I know the dog has relieved. Crate training can be taught using games. Susan Garrett has a series of five crate games, and they're on RU-vid. There are many ways to crate train; regardless of the approach, it needs to be done systematically and consistently. Your girl is very cute, and I'm so glad she's brought so much joy to your life!
I'm getting a Spoo (standard poodle) on June 7th. He will be my 3rd service dog and my 6th dog (I had a lot of childhood dogs.) I'm 18 and I owner trained my 1st and 2nd service dog. My first service dog was a Chihuahua Pitbull mix from a shelter, I got her when I was 6, I started developing a lot of mental health issues when I was about 9 due to my family. Lola was my best friend because I had zero human friends, I spent all of my time with her and we trained for hours a day. I'm pretty sure she knew I had PTSD and other issues before I was diagnosed because she started alerting before they happened. I got to the point where I could not handle being without her, so I stopped going to school. My father and I did some research and found out about service dogs and learned the laws, she already knew over 100 commands, she did highly advanced obedience and tricks, so task training didn't take long at all. We took her in pet friendly places ever since she was a puppy, so when we started doing public access training, she was perfect. My dad preformed the public access test to see if she was ready to come with me to school, and she was! She was perfect in every way, so she started going everywhere with me since she was properly trained. I started going to school again and I had even better grades! My 2nd service dog that will be retiring soon is a Pitbull Rhodesian Ridgeback and Greyhound mix, his name is Kitchi. He is almost 6 and I will be going to college soon so I decided to get my puppy this year since it takes about 2 years of training, and I will be in college for a while. Kitchi also learned easily, but he can't do fancy tricks like Lola. Kitchi is a bit dumb, but I love him. He does everything he needs to do as a service dog, and that's all that matters. I just wish he would stop farting in public... He farts when he gets excited to treats and it is VERY squeaky. He's a very calm dog which is why he can't do fancy tricks, he's just too slow. I'm a helicopter pet parent and I have over 20 pets, they are my children and I would die for them. We live in an area with a lot of tornadoes, we don't have a shelter in our new house yet but out neighbors do. When the sirens go off, my family runs next door to get in the shelter while I stay at home. I could never abandon my babies.
@@mobstercrow7515 thanks for sharing a little of your story. That's great you are getting another service dog. It's also great that you have as many pets as you do and are able to keep all of them. Not everyone is able to do that, and in some situations, it's not always the best choice to keep a dog. I'm not at all implying that it isn't a good choice for you--I don't know you or your situation. I'm just saying that sometimes the most loving thing for someone to do is to rehome their dog or pet. I've done both--kept a retired service dog until she died and have rehomed two of them; my current Shepherd will definitely not be living with me when he retires next year but will be going to someone I love and trust. And I've also had a dog who died very suddenly before she could retire. Again, thanks for sharing a little of your story. Good luck with your new pup.
@@khanhhm5762 My service dogs are owner trained, they are part of my family. Lola lived with me until the day she had a sudden medical emergency, we rushed her to the vet and they said there was a tumor in her stomach that ruptured and she couldn't be saved. We euthanized her and cremated her, she lived to be 12.5 years old! Kitchi will stay with me until the day he dies too. I couldn't imagine rehoming my precious babies, they are the only reason why I am alive. I have a lot of mental and physical illnesses but they never stop me from caring for my babies. My pets keep me healthy and active! I recently recovered from anorexia because of Kitchi. I'm still very underweight but he reminds me to eat. I'm very anemic so he brings me water and electrolyte drinks multiple times a day without me asking him. He knows when I'm about to get dizzy so he makes me sit down. I walk him for an hour every day, I train him for about 30 minutes every day, and he uses brain games multiple times a day. He doesn't like playing, but if he did, we would also play! I have fibromyalgia and asthma so it's very painful and hard for me to walk, but I still walk my good boy every day! He depends on me and I depend on him. I only spend 70 dollars on my food monthly, I spend 230 on his food every single month. Even my guinea pigs cost more than I do! But it's worth it! They eat the best food and get the best care.
I'm not even done watching your video and I had to stop to comment. I just love your personality, you just seem so friendly and approachable and I absolutely loved your comments about people saying, " adopt, don't shop" lol. I've already heard that comment myself lol. I am in the process of getting a toy poodle as well and I am just getting it from the breeder.
She’s adorable! Crate training would be a plus for any new puppy! And it’s funny that you mentioned that she looks big, she does! She looks more like a miniature poodle and not so much a toy, but still very cute! I had a toy poodle and she was tiny, but not like the teacup poodles which have so many health issues! And are usually scams where you pay so much money for a puppy that will end up suffering from so many health issues! Anyway… Thanks for sharing your fur baby with us! And I hope you enjoy her to the fullest!❤
I just met with a breeder in my city and she is AMAZING! We are a perfect match for each other and with a bit of luck I will have my little mini poodle as soon as February. 🥰
Britt love your video. I'm 75 and brought home a toy June 21 2023. 3# NOW about 8#. He's my world. Would love to see more of you two. I'm in Ohio, due to walking disability and crazy weather, I am using puppy pads. If you two are ever near Columbus, please stop in to meet us. Love to send photo but sure how.
You know those dogs on that website as well as paw parade etcetera all come from puppy mills. Also cat collars are breakaway collars. They are meant to snap if pulled that is absolutely a surefire way of getting your dog lost
I have a mini poodle and when he gets groomed I get his hair cut really short other wise Id be spending too much time and money on grooming. Hope you continue to enjoy your pup
She's so adorable 😍 I also want a toy poodle once the time is right. I'm all for either adopting or buying from ethical breeders. Unfortunately, it seems like Honey was not bred ethically but seems to stem from a backyard breeder or puppy mill situation. An ethical breeder would have never let you just take the dog the same day without asking proper questions to see if you would make a good home for the puppy. Since you mentioned not wanting to support puppy mills, I recommend you to read up on what makes a breeder ethical and how you can avoid puppy mills and backyard breeders.
I found some dogs for less than $500 it is very worth it you can find some cute miniature poodles or toy poodles I found the kind that will melt my heart❤
I always wanted a toy poodle and we finally got one a few weeks ago and i love him so much he’s so small so we try to be careful to not step on him mine is also very smart which helped in potty training
@@aishabelton4323 Go to AKC and search for breeders with championship lines. Make sure the puppies are raised in the home and make sure the dams only have 2 litters, and retire by age 5. An ethical breeder will show their dogs, have genetic and health testing on their parents, and take a lot of pride in their dogs. They have playpens for the puppies with swimming pools filled with noisy bottles, puppy playgyms, bridges, they will play noises on a TV to desensitize them, they will get them used to grooming and nail trims, and they start training them. Some breeders start crate training also! Puppies learn the best at 8-16 weeks, which is why you should start grooming them, crate training them, and desensitizing them to animal noises, construction noises, animals on the TV, fireworks, rain, thunder, blow dryers, vacuums and other things as soon as possible. The sooner you do those things, the better!
Ive always adopted, but ive now decided to go another way and my toy poodle boy will be ready to come home in a few weeks and im beyond excited! They are a wonderful smart breed
You will need several puzzles and rotate them. Definitely basic obedience classes and training. Make the crate a positive thing and call it her house. Not cage.
Don’t get hung up on the word “adopt”. There are lots of cool rescue dogs in the world, but try finding one that’s hypoallergenic. After searching for a year my daughter finally found one that was a puppy mill rescue. The shelter explained the special needs this dog would have. It quickly became clear the dog needed more than a girl with a full time job could provide. The shelter encouraged my daughter to get a purebred puppy from a reputable breeder. She did and had almost fourteen happy years with that dog.
Adore your babe! Getting my own Honey soon! Can you share how you manage or what you did with her as a puppy the days you’re not at home and at work? ❤
I have two poodles that are coming home to me at the end of Feb. I wanted all girls but this time they only got 1 girl and rest of boys. so im getting 1 girl and a boy. So they aren't alone. I look forward to spoiling them.
My kids are grown now I’m tempting to get a dog soon . The client grandson poodle just won my heart yesterday but he a bit too big for my taste .. thinking a tiny toy one
I agree. I recently bought a toy poodle. Imagine my surprise that someone would starve a puppy to keep it small enough to pass of as a toy poodle. My toy poodle now 4 months is over 13 pounds and standing on her hind feet reaches my torso. Yes I love her no way I'd give her back. The person I bought her from has disappeared. This puppy still has to be treated very gentle at feeding time. She is afraid to eat. But she is a sweet puppy and I love her completely. Maybe one day I'll get another but right now this puppy needs all my love and attention. What was done to her is abuse. Please if you live in Houston do not buy from Pamela Guzman.
Hey, Brit. I have been looking into toy puddles and found your video. You mentioned that she was quiet at first. Is it still the case ? I have migraines, and looking for a bark friendly dog has been very challenging. Also, you mentioned coming home from work. Is she ok with you being away for the work day?
I love you puppy doggy ❤ I’m so happy for u.🎉 I hope one day I can get one.. my kids father doesn’t want pets in the house😞😕😏🤷🏽♀️ Hopefully one day he will🙏🏽 Change his mind .. I even said I’d be taking over the expense for it..
Agreed with all you said...We got our first puppy after years or rescue dogs. Jaques is 13 months old now...luv him! We looked at rescue dogs here in Australia, they were all Staffies. We bought out little guy forA$3000 I think. Expensive, but thats today's dog market. So cute!
You don't have to, unless you want to have some puppies, and provide AKC papers. Then you have to get your dog have contact with another ,same breed dog with papers.
She looks exactly like my cockerpoo, although mine is mostly toy poodle, Dad pure poodle and mum cockerpoo but looks just like a poodle. Mine is 4 months and her coat isn’t going curly yet
Mine is a schnoodle still cute but mom is Poodle and breeder said nothing about that .take dog to get Genealogy test. I went to Bansfield and it's included in the wellness plan. This little one looks like a maltipoo.
So I so you said watch out for scammers so I’m actually going to take the advice because I found one for like $700 so I’m going to Do you like the thing because I don’t want to be scammed anything😂
Never ever ever meet someone in a car park. That's such a red flag. You should be going to the person's home to see the parents and see how the dogs are kept and reared. This seems like a puppy farm/ byb for sure.
Im just here concerned about barking 😂 thats it. Everything else can be trained. When I leave for work or when im studying, I dont want to hear any barking. Im not going to neglect my puppy but i cant quit my job
Same. But they have dog cameras now where you can speak to your dog. Also, if you leave your laptop or tv on it keeps them from barking since they think someone is with them.
to everyone thats reading this i need help i wanna buy a toy poodle and i dont know the actually price someone offered 2k is that its actual worth i really dont wanna get scammed..
Reputable toy breeders do health testing and do not indiscriminately breed for money. Show breeders, usually a good choice for not being scammed, usually charge between 2-5k. Do not buy from anyone that says they have "teacup" poodles. There is no such thing.. made up by back yard breeders to get more money. Contact the toy poodle club of America for breeders. No pet stores or crummy byb pups!
That’s not true I got my maltipoo for a whooping $350!!! And they go for 2500-3000 it depends on who you buy from. So because the price is “low” doesn’t mean scam. And yes I awbith parent. Sire is toy poodle and mother is Maltese
The story of you getting this dog is horrifying and the fact that you dont get that is wierd. You bought a puppy from a backyard breeder in a walgreens parking lot. You spent $1300 on a mutt or one of the worst specimen of the breed🤦🏼♀️Bless your ❤️. There is still time to delete the video!
Ours is a toy poodle and we tried so far about 6 brands of dry food ans she does not eat it. I boil meat and some veggies and she eats some, but we wouod like to give her some dry food. She is an adult now so needs adult food. Any suggestions will be welcomed. Thank you. As for pee training, we do not let her get out in the winter because of the frigid temperatures, so we bought from Amazon puppy pads, and whenever she pees on it we show her joy and excitement and a treat and now she does it on pads in the bathroom. And yes, my toy poodle looks just like yours. We got AKC papers for her. And if you want to save some money, try central -north Indiana. You can buy one under $1000.00 Thanks for sharing with us your video.
I got scammed 😭 800 😭 they made it seem so believable sent a video I even spoke with the carrier that was going to ship the dog and realized ! It was a scammed when they asked for 1k for the TRAVEL !😭😭 learned my lesson 😭😭
