At Woodland Canines, our Toy and Mini Poodles are more than just beautiful dogs, they’re loyal companions with incredible intelligence, grace, and heart. These pups are famous for their sharp minds, low-shedding coats, and affectionate personalities. Whether you’re looking for a playful best friend or a gentle lap companion, Poodles have a way of fitting seamlessly into any lifestyle.
A Breed That’s Smart, Social, and Full of Personality
Poodles are one of the most intelligent dog breeds in the world, known for their quick learning and joyful energy. Our Toy and Mini Poodles carry that same brilliance in a smaller package, making them wonderful family
companions and great choices for first-time owners. They love people, thrive on attention, and form strong bonds with their families. You’ll find that your Poodle is always eager to join in whatever you’re doing, whether it’s a morning walk, a trip to town, or a cozy evening on the couch. Their natural intuition and gentle spirit make them especially good with children and other pets.
Grooming: A Beautiful Coat That’s Easy to Maintain
One of the most loved traits of the Poodle breed is their gorgeous, low-shedding coat. With regular care, it stays soft, clean, and nearly hypoallergenic, perfect for families who prefer a dog that doesn’t leave hair everywhere.
To keep your Poodle looking and feeling great:
Brush a few times a week to prevent tangles and matting.
Bathe every 4 - 6 weeks with a mild, nourishing dog shampoo.
Trim regularly, especially around the eyes, feet, and tail.
Professional grooming every 6 - 8 weeks helps maintain their beautiful coat and keeps them comfortable.
Most Poodles enjoy being groomed and see it as extra bonding time with their family.
Training: Intelligent, Eager, and Easy to Teach
Toy and Mini Poodles love to learn. They respond quickly to training and are naturally eager to please. Their intelligence and sensitivity make them great candidates for learning new commands, tricks, and routines.
At Woodland Canines, we begin our puppies’ training early through our BioSensory Development Program and the Good Dog! ONE-der Class® puppy training methods by Donna Chandler. This gives every puppy a head start in socialization, listening skills, and confidence.
By the time your Poodle joins your family, they’ll already be familiar with gentle handling, crate comfort, and the foundation of good manners. With consistent positive reinforcement, your Poodle will quickly become one of the most well-behaved companions you could ask for.
Why Families Love Toy and Mini Poodles
Poodles are the perfect mix of fun and sophistication. They’re athletic enough to keep up on adventures yet small enough to feel right at home in your lap. Their friendly nature, intelligence, and loyalty make them one of the most well-rounded breeds you can bring into your home.
They’re adaptable to many environments, from apartments to open countryside, as long as they have companionship and care. They love playtime, walks, and mental challenges, but they also know how to relax and enjoy quiet moments with their favorite people.
