Copes well in air conditioning. Ask your groomer for a summer clip rather than a shave, so the coat still shades the skin.

Is a Toy Poodle right for your home?
Poodles are consistently rated among the most trainable breeds, and the toy variety loses none of that intelligence. They learn commands in a handful of repetitions and get genuine satisfaction from having something to do.
The low-shedding curl suits allergy-conscious households, but it is not low-maintenance. Curls trap loose hair rather than dropping it, so what does not land on your sofa lands in a mat behind the elbow.
Care essentials
- Brush to the skin every second day and book a groomer every six to eight weeks.
- Keep the ear canals clean and plucked - curly coat grows inside the ear.
- Give them a job. An under-stimulated Poodle becomes an anxious, barky one.
